While DJI’s controversies often dominate drone industry news cycles, Autel has steadily grown its government client base in the background.
Government Use, Quietly Growing:
-
Fire and rescue departments using EVO II Dual for structure fire inspections
-
Transportation agencies deploying EVO Max 4T for bridge inspections
-
State-level law enforcement agencies integrating Autel for traffic crash reconstruction
Why It’s Quiet:
-
Agencies often avoid publicizing DJI replacements for political reasons
-
Procurement is handled quietly through grant-based or NDAA-compliant funding
Autel’s rise in government is subtle but real—and it's being fueled by performance, security, and trust. As the procurement landscape shifts, expect Autel to be at the forefront of secure U.S. drone operations.
