Mountain View, California., March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Draganfly Inc.

Draganfly drones will patrol specific areas, follow predetermined routes, or be dispatched to investigate alarms or incidents in real-time, offering a bird’s-eye view that compliments ground-based technologies.
This proactive approach to security, combined with the drone's ability to cover large areas rapidly, makes it an invaluable asset for public safety, critical infrastructure protection, and private security operations.
