XTEND lands 6,000-drone order months after $1B merger
What's the deal? XTEND, an AI robotics company, has won a $40.5 million order to supply 6,000 drones for military use.
Why now? The order follows a $1 billion merger the firm completed earlier this year, giving it the scale to pursue larger defence contracts.
What's the endgame? XTEND builds AI-powered drones for defence and security applications. The 6,000-unit order marks one of its largest contracts to date and deepens its push into the military market.
