Company Description
T3 Defense Inc. acquires and operates mission-critical defense businesses involved in national security programs. The company is a defense technology holding company with common stock traded on Nasdaq under the symbol DFNS and warrants traded under DFNSW. Formerly Nukkleus Inc., T3 Defense has repositioned around a portfolio model focused on defense industrial suppliers, aerospace and defense technologies, and specialized businesses serving military, homeland security, and critical-infrastructure applications.
The company's operating approach combines centralized capital allocation, strategy, and oversight with decentralized day-to-day operations at its subsidiaries. T3 Defense focuses on businesses positioned in constrained areas of the defense supply chain, including manufacturers and technology providers with established customer relationships, order backlogs, and specialized capabilities. Its stated portfolio focus includes drones and autonomous vehicles, counter-drone systems, advanced manufacturing, tactical robotics, artificial intelligence software, and systems integration.
Portfolio and operating focus
T3 Defense's subsidiaries and portfolio companies span anti-missile systems, drone navigation, counter-drone solutions, defense engineering, tactical power and mobility systems, integrated defense systems, AI-driven security platforms, infrastructure supporting mission-critical operations, and advanced engineering and manufacturing services. The company describes its market context as defense and aerospace applications serving U.S., Israeli, and allied national-security requirements.
Rimon is described by the company as an exclusive distributor and manufacturer of components for priority missile-defense programs, including Iron Dome. Rimon's role within the portfolio centers on manufacturing and supply-chain support for defense programs that require reliable production and delivery performance.
Industrial Techno-Logic Solutions, or ITS, is a majority-owned engineering and manufacturing business in the T3 Defense portfolio. ITS designs, develops, and delivers serial, fully integrated electro-mechanical machines and advanced production systems. Its work includes build-to-spec and build-to-print execution for defense and aerospace programs with demanding technical and regulatory requirements.
The broader portfolio also includes activities in defense engineering, unmanned and autonomous systems, counter-UAS capabilities, AI-powered security platforms, motion-control and electro-mechanical manufacturing, tactical power and mobility systems, and defense infrastructure development through operating subsidiaries and related investments. T3 Defense's acquisition strategy is directed at companies that operate below prime contractors and support program execution within the defense industrial base.
Public-company profile
T3 Defense is organized as a Delaware corporation and reports as an emerging growth company in its public filings. Its principal public securities include common stock and warrants listed on Nasdaq.

The company's headquarters are in New York, with significant business activity tied to Israel through portfolio companies and subsidiaries.
