Measure UAS

What Measure UAS does

Measure UAS was founded in 2014 as an aerial intelligence company providing drone software and drone data analysis services. In 2017 the company raised a $22M Series B led by Cognizant and acquired Pilatus Unmanned, before being consolidated into AgEagle, which subsequently rebranded as EagleNXT (NYSE: UAVS) and now operates the Measure UAS heritage alongside the eBee, MicaSense, and senseFly product lines. EagleNXT positions itself as an integrated remote sensing drone solutions company, combining proprietary eBee fixed-wing mapping drones (eBee X, eBee TAC, eBee VISION), MicaSense multispectral sensors (Altum-PT, RedEdge-P), and Emotion BVLOS drone operations software into a single workflow.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of drones and sensors, supplemented by subscription or licensing revenue from the Emotion software platform and by training and support services. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting defense organizations, agricultural and commercial operations, and public safety agencies, alongside a global distributor network and an e-commerce storefront at store.eaglenxt.com. The company also markets Counter UAS systems (ARGUS Shield, Chimera UL, MeduzaX) through a dedicated U.S. joint venture.

Customers include U.S. defense agencies (Department of Defense, Army, Air Force, Border Patrol, Marines, DIU), allied defense ministries (Denmark, France, Canada, Sweden, UAE), the United Nations, U.S. national labs (Oak Ridge, Naval Research Lab), and commercial users including Syngenta and Barrick Gold. The eBee TAC is on the Blue UAS Cleared List and senseFly SA holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, supporting procurement-led sales into regulated defense and federal markets.

• PrecisionHawk: Aerial intelligence and drone analytics company serving agriculture, energy, and government markets. Highly comparable because both combine drone hardware/data capture with software-driven analytics for agriculture and infrastructure verticals.
• Dedrone: Counter-UAS detection and airspace security provider serving defense and critical infrastructure customers. Comparable as a direct competitor in the counter-drone segment with EagleNXT's ARGUS Shield/Chimera UL/MeduzaX portfolio.
• DroneShield: Australian counter-UAS and drone detection company with global defense customers. Comparable as a direct competitor in C-UAS hardware and detection systems targeting the same defense and government buyers.
• DroneDeploy: Drone mapping and aerial data analysis software platform for construction, agriculture, and mining. Comparable as a competitor in the drone data analytics and BVLOS operations software stack adjacent to EagleNXT's Emotion platform.

Broad incumbents

• Parrot: European drone manufacturer with a portfolio spanning consumer, commercial mapping (Parrot Sequoia/Anafi), and defense verticals. Comparable due to overlapping fixed-wing/multispectral and commercial mapping product lines and a transatlantic footprint.
• DJI: Dominant global drone manufacturer across consumer, commercial, and increasingly enterprise segments. Comparable as the broad incumbent setting market price points and product expectations for the commercial drone category.
• Autel Robotics: Global drone manufacturer competing in commercial and enterprise verticals with enterprise mapping/multispectral offerings. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping drone hardware categories.

Others

• senseFly (subsidiary of EagleNXT): Wholly-owned subsidiary of EagleNXT providing fixed-wing mapping drones and aerial imaging technology. Listed here because it is itself a recognizable drone brand historically competing in the same commercial mapping niche.

Emerging players

• Wingtra: Swiss-based VTOL fixed-wing mapping drone manufacturer serving surveying, mining, and agriculture verticals. Comparable due to overlapping fixed-wing professional mapping product category and European footprint.
