The only U.S. listed public company named a top performer in the Close Quarters Battle segment of the U.S. Drone Dominance Program TAMPA, Fla., October 13, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. (NYSE: XTND) today announced that it has been awarded a $40.5 million order for 6,000 STRIKER systems. The order follows XTEND's selection as a top performer in the Close Quarters Battle segment of Gauntlet II of the U.S. Department of War's iterative $1 billion Drone Dominance Program (DDP). The Company also provided preliminary third quarter 2026 revenue and an update on its backlog. "This $40.5 million order for 6,000 STRIKER systems is a significant milestone for XTEND and reflects the trust being placed in our technology and our ability to deliver at scale," said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. "We competed, we proved our capabilities, and now we are ready to build." STRIKER is powered by XTEND's proprietary XOS operating system and is designed for tactical missions in confined, complex and GNSS-denied environments. STRIKER's performance against a competitive field in a rigorous, government-run evaluation demonstrates the strength of XTEND's advanced engineering capabilities and its ability to deliver mission-ready systems that perform in the most demanding operational environments. Drone Dominance Program Phase 3 As a top performer in Gauntlet II, XTEND advances directly to Gauntlet III in the Close Quarters Battle segment of Phase 3 of the Drone Dominance Program, which the Department of War opened on September 28, 2026. Under the program's structure, Gauntlet II awardees bypass the open solicitation and Pitch & Fly stages and proceed straight to Gauntlet III in the mission set in which they were selected, subject to first fulfilling a 400-system production order. Performance in Gauntlet III will determine whether any Phase 3 orders are placed, participation does not guarantee an award. XTEND's participation in Phase 3 of the Drone Dominance Program is separate from the Phase III award under the U.S. Special Operations Command's Modular Kinetic Lethal Drone (MKLD) program that the Company announced on September 23, 2026.

Powered by XOS, the patented system lets a smart payload steer the platform in real time, while the operator remains in command of every decision TAMPA, Fla., October 05, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. (NYSE: XTND), a leader in software systems and Physical AI, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Utility Patent No. 12,743,960, covering a system in which a smart payload can give XTEND's platform real-time instructions on how to navigate and behave in the field. That capability runs through XOS, XTEND's proprietary operating system. A payload adaptor forms the physical and communications link between a smart payload and the platform's controller, and XOS is what turns the payload's signal a navigation instruction, such as avoiding a road or another UAV, into the platform's actual flight-control response. Through XOS, the payload can actively direct the mission. Beyond navigation, and while the operator remains in command throughout, XOS applies the same principle to other in-field behavior, including allowing a payload to switch the operator's display view or triggering defense-oriented modes like evasion, interception, or countermeasures. The U.S. utility patent, issued September 22, 2026, protects this multi-payload, smart-payload-driven architecture. It reflects a broader part of XTEND's IP strategy of protecting not just individual robotic platforms, but the underlying mechanisms that let a platform's behavior be shaped by what it's carrying and by the mission. The grant expands XTEND's intellectual property portfolio as the company continues to invest in XOS and the robotic platforms built on top of it. The same architecture is also what opens XTEND's platforms to the wider industry through the XOS Marketplace, XTEND's open ecosystem. Much like an app store, it lets third-party developers and manufacturers offer new capabilities to XTEND's customers, covering hardware as well as software. Through the XTEND Generic Payload Hub, a common interface on XTEND platforms, manufacturers of sensors, cameras, communications systems and mission modules, can design a payload and install it across the XTEND fleet, without a separate integration for each airframe. The patented architecture is what makes those payloads more than accessories. Through XOS, a partner's payload can take part in the mission itself, shaping how the platform navigates and responds, while the operator stays in command. "Every mission is different, and until now, adapting a platform to a new mission meant an operator had to stop and reconfigure it by hand," said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. "With this patent, the platform adapts on its own, in real time, based on what it's carrying, while the operator still commands every decision that matters." Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the capabilities and anticipated benefits of XOS, the patented smart-payload architecture, the XOS Marketplace and the XTEND Generic Payload Hub, and XTEND's intellectual property strategy and continued investment in XOS and the robotic platforms built on it. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including XTEND's ability to obtain, maintain and enforce protection for its intellectual property, XTEND's ability to attract third-party developers and manufacturers to the XOS ecosystem, market acceptance of XTEND's products, the timing and size of orders from government and defense customers, and the other risks described under "Risk Factors" in the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC in connection with the business combination and in XTEND's other filings with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov .

Powerus, a U.S. defense technology company focused on autonomous drones and other unmanned systems, is now publicly traded on Nasdaq Powerus and Aureus Greenway Holdings completed their previously announced merger, effective October 1, 2026. AGH has been renamed Powerus Corporation, and continues to operate as a public company. Shares continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol PUSA. There was no change to the symbol in connection with completion. ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Autonomous Power Corporation, dba Powerus ("Powerus"), and Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: PUSA) ("AGH") today announced that they have completed their previously announced merger, effective October 1, 2026. Powerus merged with and into a newly formed subsidiary of AGH, with Powerus continuing as the surviving entity, and AGH has been renamed Powerus Corporation. Shares of the combined company continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol PUSA. AGH adopted that symbol earlier in anticipation of the combination, and there was no change to the symbol in connection with the completion. "When we agreed to combine with Powerus, the case was simple: a U.S.-headquartered autonomous systems company that was already building and selling," said Matthew Saker, former interim CEO of AGH. "Today that company is public. That was the point of the transaction." “Completing this transaction puts Powerus in a position to build at the scale our customers are asking for,” said Andrew Fox, Chief Executive Officer of Powerus. “Our focus does not change on October 1. The work is the same work.” “I spent most of my career as the person relying on this equipment in the field,” said Brett Velicovich, Co-Founder of Powerus. “That is the standard we build to, and it does not change because the company has a listing.” Recent Powerus Milestones The completion of the merger follows a series of previously announced Powerus developments: A purchase order from a defense prime contractor for the U.S. Department of War, valued at approximately $2.5 million, according to Powerus, for 1,500 U.S.-manufactured FPV aircraft, together with pilot kits and spare parts kits.

There’s a tension at the heart of America’s industrial power. Much of the nation’s military and economic might is built around critical resources not produced sufficiently at home. Imports account for more than two-thirds of the rare-earth compounds and metals consumed in the US, according to the US Geological Survey . These compounds are needed for critical defense and energy technologies as well as advanced manufacturing. Few materials expose that vulnerability more clearly than tungsten. Tungsten’s density and resistance to heat make it central to weapons systems, semiconductor chips, aerospace components, electronics and nuclear technologies. Despite the importance of the metal, the US has not mined tungsten commercially since 2015 — and instead has depended heavily on China. The forces driving the tungsten supply squeeze China’s control of the tungsten supply chain poses a growing strategic risk, and gives Beijing considerable influence over the metal's availability and pricing. In 2025, for instance, China imposed strict export controls on tungsten in retaliation for US tariffs — and, since then, benchmark prices for the metal more than doubled. Global investors have taken note of this parabolic rise in the price of tungsten. An example is Almonty Industries (Nasdaq: ALM), which has seen its share price rise from under $1 per share at the end of 2024 to over $14 per share as of July 23, 2026. At the same time, the Trump administration has secured commitments from defense contractors to ramp up production and replenish weapons stockpiles — an effort that will increase demand for tungsten. Adding to the pressure, a long-planned federal restriction taking effect in 2027 will prohibit contractors from sourcing Chinese tungsten. “The need for tungsten has just become extraordinary, not just in the US, but around the world. I would call it a perfect storm,” says Pini Althaus, CEO of mining investment and development firm Kaz Resources. “Beijing’s export restrictions and the Pentagon’s ban on certain Chinese products mean this reliance on China is no longer feasible.” To fill that gap, Kaz Resources, a soon-to-be Nasdaq-listed business set to trade under the ticker KAZR, was recently announced through the merger of Cove Kaz Capital and Skyline Builders. The company is working to reduce China’s dominance in critical minerals by developing alternative supply partnerships, notably in Kazakhstan. As the first US business to secure critical mineral exploration licenses in the country, KAZR is now actively accelerating the development of two major tungsten deposits, which together the company says form one of the world’s largest undeveloped tungsten resources. Why Kazakhstan could break Beijing’s tungsten dominance Lower costs and lighter environmental regulation have historically made China the dominant global supplier of critical minerals, allowing Western economies to meet their needs without building meaningful capacity of their own. That model is starting to falter. Not only have export controls narrowed access, declining ore grades and rising extraction costs are putting further strain on China’s own tungsten sector. Demand is also being driven higher by global conflicts, where tungsten used in munitions cannot easily be recovered and returned to the recycling stream. In the search for new sources, Kazakhstan — and KAZR’ projects — offers a rare combination of scale, experience and political alignment. The country is rich in mineral resources, has a mature mining industry dating back to the Soviet era, and maintains long-standing commercial ties with the US through oil, gas and uranium. More recently, industry reforms have been designed to attract Western capital, while closer cooperation with the US on critical minerals reflects a broader move to reduce reliance on China. Together, these foundations ease one of mining’s biggest constraints: time. “A greenfield project can take 20 years to bring into production,” Althaus says. “In Kazakhstan, much of the preliminary geological work has already been done, which allows us to move faster and remove some of the uncertainty that usually comes at the beginning.” Financing a path to long-term, generational tungsten production Working alongside Kazakhstan’s national mining company, KAZR has set an ambitious production start date of 2030. Output is expected to be substantial once operations ramp up. The company says studies of the two sites, Northern Katpar and Upper Kairakty, suggest they could together produce roughly 15% of current global mine output — a figure that has drawn attention in Washington. The Export-Import Bank of the US and the US International Development Finance Corporation have both issued letters indicating potential financial backing of up to $1.6 billion, although neither represents a final commitment. For Althaus, early involvement like this has significance beyond the agencies themselves. “Private capital needs to see that the government is prepared to get behind projects of this importance. That gives investors greater confidence to commit money to an industry where the costs come early and the returns take longer.” A definitive feasibility study, now underway, will determine whether the deposits can be mined at the projected capacity, and whether the expected returns justify the cost of construction. Tungsten’s ongoing increase in value will form part of that calculation. A model for the wider critical minerals race The global tungsten race sits within a wider contest for critical minerals — one defined by geographic concentration. An IEA analysis shows that China is the leading refiner for 19 of the 20 strategic materials it tracks , with an average market share of about 70%. Kazakhstan is key to loosening that grip, Althaus says. In addition to its tungsten projects, KAZR is investigating reserves of neodymium and praseodymium, metals used in the powerful permanent magnets that drive electric-vehicle motors and wind-turbine generators. The company also holds exploration concessions in East Kazakhstan, covering areas believed to contain lithium, tantalum, niobium, and other critical minerals. Developing those additional resources will take years. But success could alter the balance in several strategically important industries to the US. “We’ve seen China turn its control of critical minerals into strategic leverage, giving it an advantage across military technology, nuclear power, space and AI,” says Althaus.” For the West, that’s an existential challenge that must be addressed — sooner rather than later.”  By Bloomberg Media Studios The award-winning global creative brand studio at Bloomberg Media

Editor’s Note: This article has been corrected to reflect Ondas Inc.’s participation in the Gauntlet program and XTEND’s public listing. The Pentagon’s Gauntlet II results are posted, and the scoreboard belongs almost entirely to private companies. RCAT stock is moving lower. See the real-time price action here. Nineteen companies flew 23 platforms across 1,858 sorties at Fort Carson, Colorado, in August, running find-fix-finish missions at 15-kilometer stand-off ranges and inside confined spaces, some of it repeated at night and against counter-drone systems. Each mission area produced a top five. Neros placed on both, so nine companies hold the 10 spots. Perennial Autonomy topped the Deep Strike competition with 80.1 points, ahead of Hyperscale at 70.9, Neros at 69.8, Skycutter at 66.6 and Swarm Defense Technologies at 66.0. Neros won the Close Quarters Battle with 88.1, followed by ORQA US, XTEND, Vector and ModalAI . Order quantities stay blank until contract award, and the program warns awards are not guaranteed. Only one of the nine finalists trades publicly. XTEND AI Robotics X began trading Sept. 4 after completing its business combination with JFB Construction Holdings, and finished third in Close Quarters Battle . The rest are private, leaving read-throughs for the remainder of the board.

RCAT , competed in the Close Quarters competition at Gauntlet II and did not place in the top five. Neither American Robotics nor any other Ondas Inc. subsidiary was among the 19 companies that flew at Fort Carson, though its newly acquired DZYNE Technologies competed in Gauntlet I under prior ownership. Both companies remain eligible for future Gauntlets, per the program’s regulations. Red Cat shares changed hands at $6.88, down 3.10% Friday morning and 24.4% since Aug. 25, just before Gauntlet II testing wrapped. The stock sits 63.4% below its 52-week high, with a market value of $1.05 billion, according Benzinga Pro data. Ondas traded at $7.30, off 1.26% on the day and 11.4% over the same stretch, valuing the company at $4.16 billion.

Unusual Machines, Inc. makes drone parts, counts Donald Trump Jr. as an advisor, and has invested $27.5 million in XTEND, including an additional $20 million announced this month — giving it direct exposure to a Gauntlet II top-five finisher. The Trump administration has held talks about funding both Unusual Machines and Sequoia Capital-backed Neros, with proposals involving a mix of debt and equity that could hand the government ownership stakes. Shares of UMAC traded at $23.11 on Friday, down 3.25%. Larger defense names moved with the sector during May’s funding headlines, including Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. and AeroVironment, Inc., which rose alongside peers in the Spring, should also be monitored this round.
