think> Okay, so I need to transform this given text into a concise news headline following the specified rules. Let me start by reading through the input carefully. The company is Draganfly, and the percentage change is 10.15089163%, which I need to round to two decimal places. That would be 10.15%. The time period is intraday. The reason for the price movement is that Draganfly secured a contract with the US Air Force Special Operations Command for Flex FPV drones and training services with DelMar Aerospace. The first training is scheduled for mid-February 2026. The company's main business is drone solutions, software, and robotics, with the Flex FPV being a modular platform for military needs. Also, the FPV military drone market is growing rapidly, and the global market is expected to expand significantly over the next decade. Now, applying the rules: keep the company name as Draganfly. The percentage is 10.15%, rounded correctly. Time period is intraday. The reason should be a brief mention of the contract with the US Air Force. I need to include the key points: contract with US Air Force Special Operations Command, Flex FPV drones and training with DelMar Aerospace, first training in mid-February. Also, maybe mention the market growth context. Wait, the example included the subsidiary and project details. Here, the main reason is the contract. The other points about the company's business and market growth are supporting info. The output should have the headline with the company, percentage, time period, and reason. The example included more details in the second paragraph, but the user's example shows that the first part is the headline, and the rest is the explanation. However, the transformation rules mention to provide a brief reason for the price movement, retaining key information. So I need to include the contract as the reason, maybe the partner (DelMar Aerospace), and the market context. Putting it all together: "Draganfly surged 10.15% intraday after securing a contract with the US Air Force Special Operations Command for Flex FPV drones and training services with DelMar Aerospace, with initial training set to begin in mid-February 2026. The company specializes in drone solutions, software, and robotics, with its Flex FPV platform designed for military operations. The FPV military drone market is growing rapidly, with the global market expected to expand significantly over the next decade." Wait, but the example had the percentage change first, then the reason. Let me check the example again. The example starts with the company name, the surge percentage, time period, then the reason. So the structure should be: [Company] [surged/rose/fell] [percentage] [time period], with [reason]. Then additional details in the next paragraph if needed. But the user's instruction says to write the article in English, so maybe the entire thing is the headline and explanation. The example shows that the first sentence is the headline, and the rest is the explanation. However, the user might want a single concise headline, but the example includes multiple sentences. Maybe the user expects the headline to be a single sentence, but the example has two paragraphs. Hmm, the example's output has two paragraphs, but the transformation rules don't specify. The user says "a concise news headline", but the example shows more than a headline. Maybe the user wants a summary that includes all the required elements in a structured way, similar to the example. So following the example's structure: first sentence includes company, percentage, time period, and the main reason (the contract). Then subsequent sentences provide more details about the project and the company's business. Also, the market growth context. So I need to structure it similarly. Let me make sure all required elements are included: company name (Draganfly), percentage (10.15%), time period (intraday), and reason (contract with US Air Force for Flex FPV drones and training with DelMar Aerospace, first training in mid-February). Then the company's business focus and market context. I need to check if the percentage is correctly rounded. 10.15089163 rounds to 10.15, correct. Trailing zeros are removed, so it's 10.15%, not 10.1500%. Also, the date is February 2, 2026, but in the input it's written as 2026年2月2日, which is February 2, 2026. The contract was announced on that date. The first training is in mid-February, so maybe just mention mid-February 2026 in the reason. Putting it all together: "Draganfly surged 10.15% intraday after announcing a contract with the US Air Force Special Operations.

Stay ahead of the market.
