In the first episode of The Flyby podcast, hosted by Sean Campbell, I sat down with Randall Warnas, CEO of Anzu Robotics.
We talked about his path from U.S. intelligence into drones, helping launch DJI Enterprise, leading at FLIR and Autel, and now shaping Anzu Robotics. Randall explains how Anzu was built as a U.S. company around licensed DJI technology—combining proven hardware with American ownership, AWS-based servers, and accountability.
The conversation dives into geopolitics, supply chain challenges, U.S. drone bans, and Anzu’s role as a bridge. Keeping reliable, affordable drones in the hands of public safety and commercial operators while domestic manufacturing ramps up.
