AgEagle to Provide Secure Drones Using SEALSQ Certified Secure Element for Defense and Public Safety Applications
18 November 2023 - 12:42AM
SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that
focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and
Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, and AgEagle
(NYSE: UAVS) a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and
software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and
government verticals, today announced their partnership to provide
secure surveillance drones for public safety, government and
defense applications.
In September 2023 AgEagle launched the eBee
VISION, a cyber secure Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) designed for
Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The
eBee VISION embeds a SEALSQ Secure Element which is NIST FIPS140-2
Level 3 compliant and Common Criteria EAL5+ certified. Each chip is
personalized with a unique Trusted Identity. This setup protects
the drone from any takeover attempt, enables the drone to encrypt
all data, protects the integrity of the embedded software, and
provides a unique identity to the drone for GCS pairing and strong
authentication.
These robust cybersecurity features, added to
its unique operational capabilities, make the eBee VISION perfectly
suitable to conduct public safety and defense applications. Indeed,
the eBee VISION UAS is part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) project to develop a customized
command and control software that is compatible and fully compliant
with the DoD Robotic and Autonomous System-Air Interoperability
Profile (RAS-A IOP), within the scope of the Blue UAS program.
The global commercial drone market is projected
to reach the size of around $38 billion in 2027 and the market is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9 percent between 2022 and 2027
according to Statista. Key sectors such as public safety, security,
defense, and inspection are at the forefront of this growth, most
of them demanding robust privacy, encryption and security
features.
eBee VISION delivers high-resolution video
imagery made possible by its 32x zoom and powerful thermal
observation capabilities, providing real-time situational
awareness. Weighing only 3.5 pounds, the NDAA-compliant fixed-wing
features live HD video feed, up to 90 minutes of flight time, and
wireless coverage of up to 12 miles. eBee VISION can be deployed in
just three minutes by a single operator and is controlled with a
Ground Control System (GCS) developed with feedback from U.S. and
European special forces to meet defense and public safety
requirements.
“With an established track record in supplying
leaders of the Commercial Drone Industry, SEALSQ is perfectly
positioned to support manufacturers build cybersecure UAVs and
achieve fast and cost-effective compliance with the most rigorous
agencies standards,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ.
AgEagle CEO, Barrett Mooney, added, “With the
launch of our latest drone technology, the eBee VISION, we are
dedicated to ensuring it integrates a certified secure element—a
critical feature for safeguarding the data managed by our valued
partners in public safety, government, and defense. Our partnership
with industry leader SEALSQ underscores our commitment to
protecting privacy and security.”

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods
that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum
computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of
the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect
sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography
(ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are
secure against quantum attacks.
