XTEND receives seven-figure defense order from Asia-Pacific customer

JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ: JFB) announced that XTEND, a software systems and artificial intelligence-powered robotics company, secured a seven-figure order from a defense customer in the Asia-Pacific region for compact autonomous intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems.

The order involves delivery of ISR systems designed for both indoor and outdoor operations in contested and GPS-constrained environments. XTEND's systems incorporate collision-tolerant design and advanced stabilization capabilities for autonomous mission execution.

"The Asia-Pacific region continues to be a strategically significant defense environment, and this order reflects the growing recognition among defense organizations that autonomous ISR capabilities are an operational necessity," said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND.

The systems operate on XTEND's proprietary XOS operating system, which supports indoor and outdoor operations through a common ground control system and includes native GNSS-denied capability. According to the company, the platform reduces training requirements and operator burden.

XTEND reports having over 10,000 systems deployed across air, land, and sea in more than 30 countries, with partnerships established with defense forces across the U.S., Europe, and other regions.

JFB Construction Holdings and XTEND entered into a definitive agreement in February 2026 for an all-stock business combination transaction. Following the closing, the combined company is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. and trade under the symbol "XTND" on a U.S. national securities exchange.

The transaction includes strategic investments from Eric Trump, Unusual Machines, American Ventures, LLC, Protego Ventures, and Aliya Capital, according to the press release statement.
