Draganfly Announces Drone Nerds as Official Value-Added Reseller for NDAA-Compliant Drone Portfolio
Draganfly Inc., a leading developer of drone technologies and systems, has announced the appointment of Drone Nerds — a top U.S. drone retailer, integrator, and service provider — as an official value-added reseller (VAR) for its complete lineup of NDAA-compliant unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Under this partnership, Drone Nerds will handle sales, integration, training, technical support, and servicing for Draganfly’s public safety-grade drone solutions throughout the United States and allied markets.
As part of the collaboration, Drone Nerds will showcase Draganfly’s product portfolio at its upcoming ElevateUAV 2025 Conference, scheduled for October 21–22 in Miami, Florida. During the event, Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly, will host a featured session titled “The Merits and Complexity of NDAA-Compliant Drones.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Drone Nerds to our reseller ecosystem,” said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly. “Their deep technical experience, strong customer trust, and industry reach make them an ideal partner to bring our NDAA-compliant platforms to market. Together, we’ll deliver advanced drone solutions built for the evolving needs of public safety, enterprise, and defense clients.”
Founded in Florida and incorporated in March 2014, Drone Nerds has grown into one of the most trusted names in U.S. drone retail and services. As the largest drone value-added reseller (VAR) in the country, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio of consumer, prosumer, and enterprise drone platforms, along with accessories, training, and full support services. Its Miami-area repair center, which has completed thousands of drone repairs, provides the team with deep technical expertise in complex drone systems.
Serving a wide range of clients — from hobbyists and commercial operators to enterprises, public safety organizations, and government contractors — Drone Nerds delivers end-to-end solutions encompassing hardware, training, system integration, and operational support. The company’s reputation for responsive service, same-day shipping, and advanced repair capabilities has earned it strong customer loyalty and industry trust.
Drone Nerds selected Draganfly as a strategic NDAA-compliant partner based on:
- Fully NDAA-compliant systems – Draganfly’s products meet rigorous sourcing, component, and supply chain standards
- Proven government traction – Draganfly was recently selected by the U.S. Army to supply Flex FPV drone systems, including embedded manufacturing and logistics under an NDAA-compliant supply chain.
- Mission-first design – Draganfly’s modular, flexible platforms meet the operational demands of advanced users.
- Strong channel synergy – Drone Nerds’ extensive distribution, training, and customer support infrastructure complement Draganfly’s growing public safety and enterprise footprint.
“Drone Nerds has long been committed to technical excellence and supporting the most demanding UAV missions,” said Jeremy Schneiderman, CEO of Drone Nerds. “Draganfly’s reputation for innovation, reliability, and NDAA compliance aligns perfectly with the expectations of our enterprise and government clients. We’re excited to showcase their systems at ElevateUAV 2025 and empower our customers with cutting-edge solutions.”
At ElevateUAV 2025, Drone Nerds will present live demonstrations, interactive sessions, and integration workshops showcasing Draganfly’s newest drone platforms. The event will serve as the first major channel debut of Draganfly’s fully NDAA-compliant lineup under a reseller partnership, marking a significant milestone in advancing secure and trusted drone adoption.
