XTEND, an artificial intelligence-powered robotics company, received an $8.25 million order from a European defense customer for autonomous drone systems, according to JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ: JFB).

The contract includes indoor operational platforms and tactical strike systems designed for deployment in environments with limited access. Delivery is scheduled for 2026.

The systems will be powered by XTEND's XOS operating system, which enables human-guided autonomy and real-time mission execution across multiple robotic platforms. The customer and specific operational details remain undisclosed due to the program's nature.

"This program reflects the continued evolution in how defense organizations are approaching operational challenges," said Aviv Shapira, Co-founder and CEO of XTEND. "We are seeing growing demand for systems that can be rapidly deployed and operate effectively across different mission profiles, from confined indoor environments to tactical strike scenarios."

XTEND operates across defense, law enforcement, and private security missions with over 10,000 systems deployed in more than 30 countries. The company maintains manufacturing facilities in the U.S., U.K., Singapore, Israel, and Latvia.

JFB Construction Holdings and XTEND entered a definitive agreement in February 2026 to combine in an all-stock transaction. The merged entity is expected to be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and trade under the ticker "XTND" on a U.S. national securities exchange.
