It is now part of EagleNXT, the drone company that started as AgEagle in Wichita, Kansas, in 2010 and took the EagleNXT name. senseFly SA remains a subsidiary and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design, manufacture, sales and after-sales of aerial imaging products. The AgEagle name was sometimes used for the whole group, and this page covers both.
