Certification initiative advances Exyn Defense's government-ready platform strategy, supporting potential future deployment across U.S. defense and federal applications
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exyn Defense, the defense business of Exyn Technologies (NASDAQ: EXYN), a leader in autonomous mapping and perception-driven navigation for complex, GPS-denied environments, today announced it has initiated the Green UAS certification process for Nexys, the Company's modular autonomous mapping platform. The initiative represents another milestone in Exyn Defense's strategy to position Nexys for broader adoption across the U.S. Department of Defense, federal agency, and public safety programs.
Green UAS certification aligns Nexys with an increasingly important procurement framework as government agencies continue prioritizing secure, trusted, and interoperable autonomous systems. By pursuing certification, Exyn Defense is further strengthening its government-ready platform while expanding its ability to participate in a growing number of defense and federal opportunities.
"Nexys was purpose-built for the environments where autonomous capability delivers the greatest operational advantage, GPS-denied, communications-contested, and previously unmapped terrain," said Guy Barni, General Manager of Exyn Defense. "Initiating the Green UAS certification process is an important step in expanding our addressable government market while reinforcing our commitment to delivering trusted, mission-ready autonomy for defense customers."
Powered by ExynAI, Exyn's proprietary autonomy engine, Nexys enables aerial and ground robotic systems to autonomously navigate, map, and generate actionable 3D intelligence without GPS, prior maps, or continuous operator control. The platform combines onboard perception, real-time localization, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous decision-making to support intelligence gathering, reconnaissance, infrastructure assessment, and other mission-critical operations in complex operating environments.
The certification initiative also supports Exyn Defense's software-first, modular architecture, enabling the platform to evolve alongside changing government security standards, approved component ecosystems, and mission requirements. This approach preserves the performance of ExynAI while providing customers with greater flexibility to deploy autonomy across multiple robotic platforms.
"As we expect defense organizations to increasingly standardize procurement around trusted autonomous systems, we believe platform readiness will become an important competitive differentiator," added Barni. "Our objective is to deliver a flexible autonomy platform that not only performs in the field but is also aligned with the acquisition pathways that can accelerate adoption across the defense ecosystem."
The Green UAS certification effort builds on Exyn Defense's broader strategy to leverage its commercially proven autonomy technology for defense, government, and national security applications. By combining years of operational experience in complex industrial environments with a scalable software-first architecture, Exyn Defense is positioning Nexys to address a growing range of autonomous missions across the rapidly expanding defense robotics market.
