XTEND secures $3 million Asia-Pacific drone contract
XTEND, a robotics software company, received a contract worth more than $3 million to deliver over 100 Scorpio drone systems to a defense customer in the Asia-Pacific region, according to JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ: JFB).
The contract involves delivery of XOS-enabled robotic drone systems, with deliveries expected to begin in 2026 and continue into 2027. XOS is XTEND's operating system for autonomous robotics that provides operators with a common operating environment across multiple autonomous systems.
The Scorpio systems will be powered by XOS, which combines artificial intelligence, edge autonomy, and human supervision. The platform serves as software infrastructure across XTEND's air, ground, and maritime robotic platforms.
"The world is at an inflection point in how defense organizations think about autonomous systems," said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO at XTEND. "It's no longer about individual platforms, but about software-defined ecosystems that can scale across missions, geographies, hardware types, and threats."
XTEND reports having over 10,000 systems deployed in more than 30 countries. The company operates across defense, law enforcement, and private security missions.
JFB Construction Holdings and XTEND entered into a definitive agreement in February 2026 to combine in an all-stock transaction. Following the business combination, the joint company is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and listed on a U.S. national securities exchange under the ticker "XTND."
The information is based on a press release statement from JFB Construction Holdings.
