XTEND AI Robotics Inc. (XTND) completed a $2.8 million defense contract in the Asia-Pacific region, delivering 88 unmanned aerial systems, 84 ground control stations and integrated logistics support. The company’s shares rose 5% to $1.365 following the announcement.

The contract was completed in September 2026 by XTEND’s Asia-Pacific subsidiary, Performance Rotors Pte Ltd. The customer operates in the regional defense market, but XTEND did not disclose its identity — a common arrangement in defense contracting, where end-user details are often withheld from public announcements. The order covered equipment and support services supplied under the defense agreement.

The compact aerial platforms were designed for rapid deployment in complex urban environments. They feature collision-tolerant designs and encrypted communications for operational use. XTEND supplied the systems in portable field kits with software-configured capabilities, while Performance Rotors manufactured them at facilities within XTEND’s regional XFAB production network. Pairing the aircraft with ground control stations and logistics support means the delivery covered the operating infrastructure around the systems, not the airframes alone.

The completed agreement forms part of XTEND’s previously disclosed preliminary revenue figures. Through September 30, 2026, the company reported an unaudited preliminary revenue range of approximately $24.5 million to $26.5 million. The contract contributes to the revenue range already communicated to the market, meaning the announcement primarily confirms delivery execution rather than introducing new revenue. Because the figures remain preliminary and unaudited, finalized financial reporting will show where the company’s results ultimately land within that range.

XTEND said its regional manufacturing structure supports production closer to customers and helps the company meet requirements across international markets. Performance Rotors operates within the broader XFAB network, which supports larger delivery programs and regional production capabilities.

XTEND shares advanced 5% to $1.365 after the company reported completion of the delivery. The company did not attribute the entire share-price increase to the contract announcement.

XTEND develops software systems and robotic hardware for defense, homeland security and commercial security applications. Its technology combines autonomous software with drones, robots and robotic subsystems. The company uses its proprietary XTEND Operating System, known as XOS, to coordinate its integrated platform.

XTEND reports more than 12,500 deployed systems across over 30 countries, and says its solutions have undergone validation in five combat zones. These deployments support the company’s presence across defense and security operations.

The company operates manufacturing facilities through its global XFAB network in the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Israel, Mexico and Latvia. The network provides XTEND with regional production capabilities across several international markets.
