XTEND Surpasses $12 Million in Cumulative Defense Orders with $3 Million Follow-On Order Across Two Autonomous System Programs
Follow-On Order Builds on Separate $9 Million Defense Order Announced June 23, 2026, Demonstrates Breadth of XTEND’s Defense Relationships
Additional Procurement Reinforces XTEND’s Ecosystem-Driven Growth Strategy
TAMPA, Fla. and Palm Beach, Fla, June 25, 2026 – JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) announced that XTEND AI Robotics (the “Company”), a leader in AI-powered autonomous robotics and operating systems, has secured a $3 million follow-on order from an existing defense customer for advanced operational capabilities supporting one of the Company’s largest autonomous system deployments to date. The order is separate from, and came one day after, the Company’s $9 million defense order announced on June 23, 2026. Together they bring XTEND’s announced defense procurement to more than $12 million across two distinct customer programs within 24 hours, reflecting the growing breadth and depth of the Company’s defense relationships.
“More than $12 million in defense orders announced across two separate customer programs in a single day reflects exactly how we have built this business,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of XTEND. “This follow-on order specifically reinforces an important aspect of our long-term growth strategy. As customers move from initial deployment to sustained operational use, they continue to adopt additional capabilities that enhance mission effectiveness and expand the value of their existing fleets. We believe this dynamic strengthens customer relationships, creates recurring growth opportunities, and reinforces the strategic value of the XTEND ecosystem.”
The $3 million order builds on prior platform deliveries to the same customer, reflecting how operational programs can scale beyond initial acquisitions as mission requirements evolve. Unlike the $9 million Middle East program announced previously, which funds expansion of autonomous multi-drone operations for a separate defense customer, this order supports a distinct large-scale autonomous systems program, expanding the operational capabilities available within that deployment and further demonstrating XTEND’s ability to generate revenue beyond initial platform sales through the continued adoption of mission-enhancing technologies.
Powered by the XOS operating system, XTEND’s solutions enable operators to deploy, supervise, and manage autonomous robotic systems across complex missions while maintaining human oversight. The Company’s software-first architecture supports a growing ecosystem of robotic platforms, applications, and mission capabilities designed to evolve alongside customer operational requirements.
