XTEND’s range of of XTENDER, Wolverine and Griffon drones have achieved full National Defense Autorization Act (NDAA) compliance.

The company will be increasing US-based production in response to a growing demand for its robust, affordable solutions from the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the wider US Government technology community.

“Our compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) further strengthens XTEND’s ongoing collaboration with the US Department of Defense and supercharges our US expansion,” said Robert Peters, XTEND Defense’s General Manager. “In the last four years we have secured over 30 new contracts with the US Department of Defense, its allies and partners, which will see over 1000 of our revolutionary US-made drones produced over the next 24 months.”

XTEND’s drone systems allow any operator to perform extremely accurate maneuvers and actions, in any environment with minimal training. Powered by the company’s patented XOS operating system, XTEND’s drones fuse the best of human intelligence and machine autonomy to enhance an operator’s abilities and simultaneously reduce the need for physical confrontation, thus minimizing casualties and injuries.

Hundreds of XTEND’s systems are already operationally deployed worldwide and the company is continuously developing its operating system and drones to deliver the future of man machine teaming in defense, HLS, industrial inspection, and public safety.

Ido Bar-On, XTEND’s Vice President of Business Development and Sales, added: “We cherish our partnership with the US Government and remain fully committed to aligning our operations and with its well-justified standards for facing near-peer threats. We recently grew our team in Florida threefold, and we will continue to support our defense partners and customers with our highly experienced, Veteran team.”
