Malaysian Government Customer Acquires eBee TAC Tactical Drone and eBee X Sustainment Package to Increase Capability and Boost Mission Readiness

ALLEN, Texas, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (dba, EagleNXT) (the "Company" or "EagleNXT") (NYSE:UAVS), a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors, and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, today announced a procurement of an eBee TAC drone by an agency within the Malaysian government.

The acquisition, facilitated by Surmap Sdn Bhd, EagleNXT's reseller in Malaysia, includes the eBee TAC, a tactical mapping drone engineered for mission-critical operations, along with spare parts and components to sustain and extend the operational life of the agency's existing eBee X fleet. This strategic purchase supports two key objectives: ensuring the long-term continuity and reliability of the current eBee X inventory through comprehensive sustainment measures and enhancing overall readiness levels and operational capabilities with the eBee TAC platform.

The eBee TAC fixed-wing drone offers improved robustness, greater operational flexibility, and performance in demanding environments. With features such as extended endurance, high-accuracy mapping (down to 1.5 cm with RTK/PPK), rapid deployment, and efficient coverage of large areas, the eBee TAC empowers users to address complex geospatial and reconnaissance requirements with confidence.

"Our eBee TAC users know success can depend on precise terrain analysis, detailed maps, and a high level of situational awareness," said Bill Irby, CEO of EagleNXT. "Civil and Government customers choose our drones and sensors to deliver hyper-accurate, actionable data, and rely on through-life support to maintain readiness."

EagleNXT's fixed-wing eBee series drones are known for their lightweight design, autonomous operation, regulatory compliance features, and integration with advanced sensors, making them trusted tools for government, defense, and professional mapping applications worldwide.

Both the eBee TAC and eBee VISION are on the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Blue UAS Cleared platform, meaning the drones meet stringent cybersecurity, supply-chain, and operational requirements, facilitating seamless adoption for defense and government use by the U.S. and allied nations worldwide.
