Quantum Systems further expands its MOSAIC UXS mission software ecosystem by integrating XTEND’s autonomous capabilities, enabling a growing range of autonomous systems to operate together seamlessly. London, United Kingdom and Tampa, Florida, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Systems, a leading global neo-prime for intelligent autonomous systems, and XTEND (NYSE: XTND), a leader in software systems and Physical AI, today announced a partnership to develop and deliver integrated autonomous mission solutions for defence, homeland security and public safety customers. Quantum Systems is further expanding its MOSAIC UXS mission software ecosystem by integrating XTEND’s field-proven autonomous systems. Bringing together proven technologies from both companies, the partnership enables seamless, interoperable missions across sensing, swarming and strike, while providing operators with an intuitive user experience. The cooperation is already supporting a joint autonomous systems programme for a European NATO customer, with further customer programmes and demonstrations planned for 2026 and beyond. The partnership comes as NATO Allies ramp up defence investment. Under commitments made at the 2025 Hague Summit, Allies are targeting 5% of GDP annually in defence spending by 2035, with at least 3.5% allocated to core defence requirements and at least 20% of expenditure directed to major equipment and associated research and development under the Defence Investment Pledge. NATO reports that European Allies and Canada alone increased defence expenditure by more than USD 90 billion in 2025. “The future of defence autonomy will not be defined by individual platforms, but by our ability to connect sensors, systems and effectors into one operational network,” said Martin Karkour, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Systems. “Together with XTEND and through its integration into the MOSAIC UXS software backbone, we are demonstrating how modular architectures can connect complementary autonomous systems into a mission-ready ecosystem - from intelligence collection to mission execution.” At the heart of the partnership is the integration of XTEND’s XOS operating system and autonomous mission capabilities into Quantum Systems’ MOSAIC UXS mission software ecosystem. Together, the companies aim to enable armed forces and customers across other critical domains to integrate diverse autonomous systems within one operational environment while allowing new operators to become mission-ready within days - dramatically reducing training requirements and accelerating forward deployment. “Defense is entering a new era where operational advantage will come from connected ecosystems rather than standalone platforms,” said Aviv Shapira, CEO and Co-Founder of XTEND. “As autonomous operations become increasingly software-defined, our customers need mission ecosystems that seamlessly connect intelligence, planning and execution across multiple autonomous assets. By bringing together Quantum Systems’ leadership in autonomous intelligence collection with XTEND’s XOS operating system and autonomous mission capabilities, we’re taking an important step towards making interoperable autonomy the new standard for modern defence operations.” Quantum Systems and XTEND have recently demonstrated integrated workflows across multiple locations. The partnership will continue to expand interoperability between the companies’ technologies and support modular defence autonomy for European and allied forces.

The phrase ‘AI weapons’ often conjures images of machines making life-and-death decisions without human oversight. Xtend AI Robotics, Inc. Common Stock (NYSE:XTND ) CEO Aviv Shapira believes that narrative has outpaced reality. While autonomy is advancing rapidly across modern defense systems , he argues the industry’s trajectory is not about removing humans from the battlefield, but enabling them to make better decisions by letting AI handle speed, complexity and dangerous tasks. The Future of AI Weapons Shapira rejected the idea that autonomous weapons are headed toward fully independent lethal decision-making. “That is a misconception, at least in terms of where the industry is today,” he told Benzinga in an exclusive email interview. Instead, he described autonomy as a spectrum rather than a binary concept. AI can stabilize aircraft, navigate without GPS, avoid obstacles, coordinate with other systems or complete portions of a mission without constant human input—all without taking humans out of consequential decisions. XTEND, he said, already operates at Level 3 and Level 4 autonomy, where AI performs increasingly complex tasks while operators remain responsible for critical decisions. That distinction matters because it shifts the conversation from replacing people to augmenting them. Read Also: Anduril CEO Warns AI and Defense Valuations Are Becoming Dangerously Overvalued, Says Company Isn't Rushing to IPO Why Human Control Matters Shapira said XTEND’s philosophy is centered on what he calls “human-guided autonomy,” where AI complements human judgment instead of replacing it. “Our approach is human-guided autonomy,” he said. “We want machines to handle the speed, complexity and dangerous physical tasks that machines are better suited for, while keeping authorized humans in control of consequential decisions.” He reinforced the point with a statement that directly challenges one of the most persistent fears surrounding defense AI: “We don’t need to remove the human from the loop to make autonomy transformational.” Management’s comments reflect a view that autonomy’s value lies in reducing cognitive burden and improving operational effectiveness rather than delegating lethal authority to machines. Our inference is that framing AI as a decision-support technology, rather than an autonomous decision-maker, could also help address one of the sector’s most closely watched ethical and regulatory concerns. Why it Matters As defense companies race to deploy AI-enabled systems, investors may increasingly distinguish between firms pursuing fully autonomous capabilities and those focused on human-guided autonomy. If Shapira’s view reflects the industry’s broader direction, the competitive advantage may come from building trusted AI that enhances operators’ effectiveness—not from removing them from the decision-making process.

Investment reflects 10.5% equity interest in Operating Aerospace-Spec LNG Producer Positioned for the U.S. Space Launch Buildout Eagle LNG produces high-methane, aerospace-specification LNG required by the next generation of American reusable launch vehicles Investment is being made concurrently with, and at the same value per unit as, a $10 million commitment by an affiliate of The Energy & Minerals Group (“EMG”). Funds managed by EMG are Eagle LNG’s controlling sponsor and an existing investor in the business SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datacentrex, Inc. (“Datacentrex” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DTCX) today announced that it has entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement and invested $30 million in ELNG Equity LLC (“ELNG”), the equity holding company of Eagle LNG Partners LLC (“Eagle LNG”), acquiring $30 million of Class A Common Units. Eagle LNG is a vertically integrated producer of liquefied natural gas and a qualified supplier of the aerospace-specification liquid methane used to fuel next-generation American launch vehicles. An Operating Business, Not a Development Project Eagle LNG has been producing and delivering LNG since 2017 and serves a contracted customer base across space propulsion, marine bunkering, island utility and industrial end-markets under long-term take-or-pay supply agreements with a weighted average tenor of approximately 15 years. Since 2018 it has completed more than 700 LNG bunkering operations, both ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship, without incident. “We are focused on companies producing real revenue in ultra-high-growth sectors, and we intend to be at the forefront of them,” said Parker Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Datacentrex. “Eagle LNG is not a concept. It has been producing and delivering LNG since 2017 and it is already under contract with a leading space propulsion customer. The United States is setting out to multiply its launch cadence several times over this decade, and every one of those vehicles has to be fueled. We would rather own a position in the supply chain underneath that growth than try to pick which vehicle wins.” About Datacentrex, Inc. Datacentrex, Inc. is a diversified technology-driven enterprise operating a digital asset mining business across high-growth sectors including digital-asset infrastructure, data-center operations, and energy and space-launch infrastructure. Datacentrex, Inc. intends to pursue selective investments, partnerships, and acquisitions to drive innovation and value creation.

Shares of Combined Company, to Be Renamed XTEND AI Robotics, Expected to Begin Trading on the NYSE Under the Ticker Symbol “XTND” on September 4, 2026 TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) and XTEND, a leader in software systems and artificial intelligence-powered robotics, announced today that the previously announced business combination between JFB and XTEND Reality Expansion Ltd. remains on track to close on September 3, 2026. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed XTEND AI Robotics, Inc., and its common stock is expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “XTND” on September 4, 2026. JFB’s Class A common stock is expected to cease trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market after the close of trading hours on September 3, 2026. The anticipated closing follows the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) declaration of effectiveness, on August 11, 2026, of the Form S-4 registration statement filed in connection with the proposed business combination, clearing a key regulatory milestone ahead of closing. The final information statement/prospectus was mailed to JFB stockholders of record as of August 11, 2026. The business combination will be completed through a series of mergers pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 13, 2026, as amended on March 21, 2026 and as further amended on July 16, 2026 (the “merger agreement”), by and among JFB, XTEND, XTEND AI Robotics, and the applicable merger subsidiaries. Under the terms of the merger agreement, XTEND Reality Expansion Ltd. will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of XTEND AI Robotics, and JFB will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of XTEND AI Robotics. In the all-stock transaction, each outstanding share of JFB common stock is, subject to the following sentence, expected to be converted into the right to receive one share of XTEND AI Robotics common stock, and each outstanding XTEND ordinary share will be converted into the right to receive approximately 1.36 shares of XTEND AI Robotics common stock, in each case subject to the terms of the merger agreement. To satisfy the minimum listing price required by the NYSE initial listing standards, in the event that the closing stock price of JFB’s Class A common stock is less than $4.00 on September 3, 2026, the last day on which JFB’s Class A common stock is expected to trade on Nasdaq, XTEND and JFB have agreed to amend the merger agreement to modify the exchange ratio such that each outstanding share of JFB common stock will instead receive one-half of a share of XTEND AI Robotics common stock, and each outstanding XTEND ordinary share will be converted into the right to receive approximately .68 shares of XTEND AI Robotics common stock. Under either exchange ratio, former JFB and former XTEND shareholders will beneficially own the same proportion of XTEND AI Robotics. “As we work through the final steps toward closing our merger with JFB, we remain on track to close on September 3, 2026,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. “With our shares expected to begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker ‘XTND’ shortly after, we are entering the next chapter of XTEND’s growth ready to scale our AI-powered robotics platform for defense, law enforcement, and security customers around the world.” XTEND’s software-enabled robotic systems are designed to extend the reach and effectiveness of defense and security operators while reducing human exposure in high-risk environments. The company’s platform combines advanced robotic hardware with intuitive control, mission management, and autonomous capabilities designed to support rapid deployment across diverse operational scenarios. The additional capital and pending public listing are expected to support XTEND’s continued investment in its global manufacturing footprint and product development as it scales to meet growing demand from defense and security customers worldwide.
