Deployed: Drones

What is in regular real-world use? As of Oct 17, 2026, 6 tracked systems are in regular use by customers or the public.

Deployed means more than a demo or a single pilot: the system is in regular use somewhere, or anyone can buy it or use it as a public service. It does not mean everywhere, and it does not mean independently tested.

Questions people ask

What's the difference between a pilot and a deployment?

A pilot is a sustained trial at a named customer or site. A deployment is regular use, or public sale or service. Many systems stay in pilots for a long time.

Who says it's deployed?
