NDAA-Compliant Drones, Made in El Segundo, California

What does NDAA compliant mean for a drone?

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) restricts government purchase and use of drones and critical drone components from certain foreign countries. What applies to you depends on your agency, your funding source, such as federal grants, and your contract terms, so confirm your specific requirement with your compliance or procurement office before you buy.

Tell us your requirement and we will confirm which F-11 configuration meets it. See email sales to get in touch.
