XTEND Secures $8.25 Million order, marking continued expansion of Autonomous Drone Programs across Europe
TAMPA, Fla., May 7, 2026 — JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) announces that XTEND, a leader in software systems and artificial intelligence-powered robotics, has secured an order valued at approximately $8.25 million from a defense customer in Europe for the supply of advanced autonomous drone systems.
The program includes a mix of indoor operational platforms and tactical strike systems designed for deployment in complex and constrained environments where access is limited and operational speed is critical. Delivery is expected during 2026.
The award builds on XTEND’s recent contract wins, representing a significant increase in program scale and reinforcing accelerating adoption of its systems across defense organizations. The increasing scale of these programs reflects a structural shift toward large-scale deployment of autonomous systems across defense operations.
“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’s systems are powered by its proprietary XOS operating system, enabling human-guided autonomy and real-time mission execution. The platform is designed to support coordinated operations across multiple robotic systems, allowing operators to execute missions in complex environments where traditional approaches are limited.
Due to the nature of the program, the customer and specific operational details remain undisclosed.
The agreement reinforces XTEND’s transition into larger-scale defense programs, reflecting accelerating global adoption of autonomous systems in operational use.
XTEND continues to expand its presence across multiple regions as defense organizations shift toward deployable, multi-mission autonomous capabilities.
