Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Mobilicom Limited filed a Form 6-K to furnish a press release announcing that its drone and robotics cybersecurity, hardware, and software solutions have been included in the FCC’s first batch of “Trusted Drones” as determined by the U.S. Department of War.

Insights
Mobilicom gains U.S. exemption status and plans U.S. production expansion.
Mobilicom reports that its drone and robotics solutions were placed on the FCC’s first list of “Trusted Drones” as determined by the U.S. Department of War. This grants an exemption from Covered List restrictions on importing and selling certain foreign-made drones and critical components into the U.S. through the end of 2026.
The exemption spans nearly all of Mobilicom’s offerings, including SkyHopper communications, Mobile Ground Control Stations, OS3 cybersecurity, and ICE electronic warfare and datalink cybersecurity software. Being one of only four companies, and the only one with multiple products included, suggests its technology is embedded in U.S. unmanned systems infrastructure and defense programs.
The company states it will expand production capacity and aims to manufacture its cybersecure systems in the U.S. by the end of 2026, in line with Made-in-America requirements. Subsequent disclosures may clarify the scale of U.S. investment, contract wins, and how widely these trusted systems are adopted across U.S. federal and defense markets.

Exhibit 99.1
Mobilicom’s Drone and Robotics Solutions Included in FCC’s First Batch of Trusted Drones as Determined by U.S. Department of War
Mobilicom is one of only four companies to be exempted from import restrictions under the Covered List and the only company to have multiple products exempted
Mobilicom is expanding its production capacity and expects to manufacture its cybersecure mission-critical systems in the U.S. by the end of 2026
Palo Alto, California, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB, MOBBW) (“Mobilicom” or the “Company”), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced that its cybersecurity, hardware, and software solutions have been included in the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) first batch of “Trusted Drones” as determined by the U.S. Department of War (DoW).
This designation is an exemption for Mobilicom’s product portfolio from the DoW’s Covered List restrictions, which prohibit the import and sale of certain foreign-made drones and critical components into the U.S. through the end of 2026. Mobilicom is one of only a limited number of companies—just four in this initial batch—granted such an exemption, underscoring the importance of its technologies to U.S. defense and national security programs.
The exemption applies across nearly all of Mobilicom’s full suite of offerings, including the SkyHopper product family, Mobile Ground Control Stations, OS3 Cybersecurity software and ICE electronic warfare protection & datalink cybersecurity software, and additional next-generation solutions. This broad recognition reflects Mobilicom’s position as a comprehensive, end-to-end provider of secure drone and robotics technologies.
Mobilicom believes that its selection reflects several key factors, including the prior inclusion of its SkyHopper product family solutions in the DoW’s Blue UAS Select Framework following rigorous testing, validation, TrustedCyber and NDAA compliance. The Company’s SkyHopper family is a core communications component embedded in drones manufactured by prominent U.S. drone manufacturers, including systems deployed in DoW Programs. In addition, the waiver is typically reserved for providers of “UAS critical components” highlighting the importance of Mobilicom’s integrated hardware, software, cybersecurity, and electronic warfare protection solutions to U.S. unmanned systems infrastructure.
“We are honored to be recognized by the FCC and the U.S. Department of War as a trusted provider of critical drone technologies,” said Oren Elkayam, Founder and CEO of Mobilicom. “Being selected as one of only a handful of companies to receive this exemption reinforces the strategic value of our technology and our role in supporting the operational readiness of next-generation unmanned systems. To meet growing demand, and the DoW’s Made-in-America requirement, we will be expanding production into the U.S. and aim to be manufacturing domestically by the end of 2026, positioning us well to deepen our OEM partnerships and capture additional opportunities across U.S. federal and defense markets.”
