Draganfly's Heavy Lift uses a universal payload mount and configurable communications and battery arrangements. The company reports a US FAA Section 44807 exemption for operations above 55 pounds, subject to the instrument's operating limitations.
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Draganfly announced the FAA exemption on September 1, 2026. The underlying limitations were not recovered, so this is an attributed regulatory claim rather than unrestricted operating approval.
The platform is offered by Draganfly; mission legality, approved configuration and delivery availability require confirmation. Conflicting payload specifications should be resolved before configuration selection.
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
No reviewed Mission area or released Defence need connection is currently published.
These records support this capability and its published Mission area and Defence need connections. A source count is not a count of independent confirmations.

The Heavy Lift page headline and mounting section state 66 lb payload, while its comparison section states 60 lb / 30 kg. The inconsistency should be resolved against a controlled specification before a precise payload limit is published.
