TAMPA BAY, Florida – February 26, 2026‍

XTEND, a leader in software systems and artificialintelligence-powered robotics, deployed in high‑threat, complex operationalenvironments where human exposure carries significant risk, successfully showcasedits cutting-edge autonomy multi-drone orchestration capabilities at theCreative Defense Foundation’s (CDF) Disruptors in the Desert 2026. The debut of XTEND’s Seek & Strike solution marked the firstpublic demonstration of human-in-the-loop (HITL) supervision drivingmulti-drone collaboration and highlights XTEND’s ongoing commitment toproviding scalable, adaptable solutions to meet the evolving needs of defense,law enforcement and private security markets.

The demonstrationfeatured an interoperable fleet of drones performing highly synchronized,variable tasks as a unified team. Operating under strict HITL architecture, itreinforced XTEND’s strategic identity as a software-first, XOS-driven platformcompany, while firmly establishing its position as pioneer in advancedmulti-drone collaboration.

“XOSnatively handles the heavy lifting of spatial cognition and autonomous datahandoffs between Seeker and Effector; this cross-platform autonomouscoordination entirely eliminates the friction of manual piloting,” said AvivShapira, Co-Founder and CEO ofXTEND. “By reducing operator dependency and dramatically shortening deploymenttimelines, XOS enables us to scale efficiently across new customers, platforms,and geographies. Its modular, software-driven architecture supports rapidintegration of additional robotic assets and third-party systems, creating afoundation for recurring software adoption and long-term expansion of the XTENDecosystem.”

Duringthe Seek & Strike demonstration, the operator used the XOS Mission Plannerto seamlessly orchestrate a complex operation, defining AI-driven micro-tasks.A team of Seeker drones autonomously scanned a designated area, detecting andclassifying potential targets with onboard edge-perception. Upon anomalydetection, the human operator visually confirmed the target, and XOSautomatically handed off the data to a team of Precision Effector drones, whichthen executed a coordinated homing approach. Throughout the operation, thehuman operator maintained full control, with the ability to re-task and abortmissions instantly, ensuring safety, adherence to rules of engagement, andultimate decision-making authority.

As adversarial environments and security challenges growincreasingly complex, the traditional one-to-one ratio of operator-to-dronecreates unsustainable cognitive bottlenecks. XTEND’s XOS platform enables theautonomous orchestration of drones, reducing the load for operators andensuring more precise, rapid responses in dynamic, high-stakes environments.

XTEND participated in Disruptors in the Desert [SD1] alongside Congressional and Department of Defense leadership,engaging in discussions on how AI, orchestration, and interoperability willdefine the next era of U.S. Department of War (DoW) superiority.

As announced on February 17, JFBConstruction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) and XTEND entered into a definitiveagreement to combine with XTEND in an all-stock transaction. Thebusiness combination is further supported by strategic investments from EricTrump, Unusual Machines (NYSE: UMAC), American Ventures, LLC, Protego Ventures,and Aliya Capital. Following the closing of the business combination, the jointcompany is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and be listed on a U.S.national stock exchange under the ticker “XTND.”

About XTEND

XTEND is a leader in software systems and artificialintelligence-powered robotics, deployed in high-threat, complex operationalenvironments where human exposure carries significant risk. Powered by itsproprietary XTEND Operating System, or XOS, XTEND’s integrated software andadvanced robotic hardware solutions are designed to provide autonomy at theedge. Operating across defense, law enforcement and private security missionsthrough a platform of robots, drones, and robotic subsystems, its open architectureplatform facilitates scalability across partners and third-party applications.XTEND’s customers face rapidly evolving adversarial environments that requireagility. Through its modular open architecture operating system and hardwaredesign, XTEND can quickly adapt and deliver responsive product offerings tochanging operational requirements and dynamic environments. The intuitive XOSinterface allows XTEND’s customers to certify new operators within days,significantly reducing the barrier to forward deployment of XTEND’s productsinto their operations. Leveraging AI to execute complex missions autonomouslywith remote human supervision, XOS addresses the key constraint in robotics,namely reliance on human operators who are costly, vulnerable, and prone tooperational error. XOS enables human machine teaming, or HMT, by allowingoperators to define mission parameters that are autonomously executed byrobotic systems in the field. XTEND serves a diverse set of customers withconstantly evolving operational requirements, including homeland security,military, intelligence, and critical-infrastructure protection entities.XTEND’s systems have been developed with and operationally deployed by nationaldefense, special-mission units, and security organizations in over 30countries. Founded in Tel Aviv, Israel, and headquartered in Tampa, Florida,the company combines battle-proven software with mission-optimized platforms,payloads, and manufacturing infrastructure to deliver integrated,NDAA-compliant solutions at scale.
