Agencies and contractors restricted by NDAA Section 848 fly American and allied platforms: Parrot, Freefly, Anzu, Teal, Skydio. The catch is the accessory ecosystem. These fleets have far fewer aftermarket accessories than DJI, and rapid field charging is usually the first gap teams hit. Colorado Drone Chargers is one of the few US manufacturers building rapid chargers for these aircraft, and the PRCS itself is American-made, which is a genuine plus in procurement reviews. To be precise: these are US-made chargers for NDAA-eligible aircraft, not a certification claim about the chargers themselves.
Parrot ANAFI USA and ANAFI UKR
Parrot's ANAFI line is a staple of NDAA-conscious programs. The Colorado Drone Chargers Parrot ANAFI USA PRCS ($1,075) charges four ANAFI USA batteries simultaneously in about 1 hour. Fleets flying the UKR variant have their own unit: the Parrot ANAFI UKR PRCS ($1,345). Both run off inverters and generators, so charging happens at the vehicle, not back at the office.
Freefly SL8: Astro and Alta X fleets
The Colorado Drone Chargers Freefly SL8 PRCS ($1,495) covers Freefly operators. SL8 batteries power both the Freefly Astro and the Alta X, so one charging system serves a mixed Freefly fleet: four SL8 packs charging simultaneously, ready in about 1 hour, off an inverter or generator.
Anzu Raptor
Anzu Raptor operators get the same formula at the lowest price point in this lineup: the Anzu Raptor PRCS ($895) charges four Raptor batteries at once in about 1 hour, with the same lifetime warranty and generator-friendly power input.
Teal 2 / Golden Eagle
Teal's night-operations platform is covered by the Teal Golden Eagle / Teal 2 PRCS ($1,285): four batteries simultaneously, about 1 hour to full, built to order in the US.
Skydio X10 and X2
Skydio fleets are the biggest single slice of the NDAA-compliant market, and CDC builds PRCS units for both the X10 and X2. We cover those in depth in our dedicated guide: Colorado Drone Chargers for Skydio X10 and X2.

FAQ
Are the PRCS chargers themselves NDAA certified?
NDAA Section 848 restrictions apply to the aircraft, not to battery chargers. The PRCS is not sold under any NDAA certification. What matters for most procurement teams is that the PRCS is American-made and built for NDAA-eligible aircraft like Parrot, Freefly, Anzu, Teal, and Skydio.
Why is field charging harder for NDAA fleets than for DJI fleets?
American and allied platforms have a much smaller aftermarket accessory ecosystem than DJI. Colorado Drone Chargers is one of the few US manufacturers building rapid multi-bay chargers for these aircraft.
One Freefly PRCS for both Astro and Alta X?
Yes. SL8 batteries power both the Freefly Astro and the Alta X, so the SL8 PRCS serves a mixed Freefly fleet with a single charging system.
What are the lead time, warranty, and agency pricing terms?
Each PRCS is built to order with a typical 2 to 3 week lead time and a lifetime warranty. Multi-unit and government pricing is available on request through Global Drone HQ, an authorized Colorado Drone Chargers reseller.
