I found three complete drones listed as NDAA compliant, all from Skydio. Four drone mission computers are also listed as NDAA compliant. You may want those if your customer is building or integrating their own aircraft.

Things to keep in mind:
- Some drone products have no certifications listed. That doesn't mean they're non-compliant, but I can't confirm NDAA compliance for them.
- Since compliance matters for government buying, check the maker's latest NDAA or Blue UAS paperwork before you place an order: Skydio X10, Skydio X10D, Skydio F10, ARK Just A Jetson, ARK Jetson PAB Carrier (V1), ARK Jetson PAB Carrier V3, Mobilicom SA Compute PRO-AR.
