**JFB Announces XTEND Becomes First U.S. Company to Receive U.S. Army Safety Board Approval for FPV Drone Programs**

March 30, 2026

*XTEND integrates the only U.S.-approved safety component into its software-driven platform, supporting FPV strike systems in a market projected to exceed $100 billion annually, with attritable and loitering systems already receiving over $1.5 billion in FY26 funding.*

**TAMPA, Fla., March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —** JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) and <u>XTEND</u>, a leader in software systems and artificial intelligence-powered robotics, today announced that XTEND has received a limited operational assessment approval from the U.S. Army Fuze Safety Board for its high-voltage safety and arming system for FPV attack drones. XTEND is the first U.S. company to receive this assessment, demonstrating the company's commitment to developing battle-proven, AI-driven robotic systems that keep human operators out of harm's way while maintaining precise control in complex missions.

This milestone comes as the broader market for tactical strike and defense systems continues to expand. U.S. defense budgets for these programs are projected to exceed $100 billion annually in the coming years, while loitering munitions, launched effects, and related attritable unmanned strike systems have already received more than $1.5 billion in combined Procurement and research, development, test and evaluation funding in 2026.

Scaling operational efficiently while maintaining safety and control has become a central challenge for military organizations expanding their FPV attack drone capabilities and usage. XTEND's high-voltage safety system is designed to provide a scalable solution by moving critical safety and arming functions into software, making the system easier to use, safer to operate and simpler to scale across units without added operational complexity.

"This approval validates both our technology and the market shift toward scalable, lower-cost strike systems," said Aviv Shapira, CEO and Co-Founder of XTEND. "As FPV and attack drone operations expand across defense forces, the ability to deploy these systems safely, efficiently, and at scale becomes mission critical. XTEND's software-driven approach enables forces to use advanced capabilities while maintaining human control and reducing operational burden."

When evaluated across training, personnel structure, operational tempo, and safety architecture, XTEND's high-voltage safety system provides several advantages that support scalable deployment of FPV drone operations in a category that defense budgets are increasingly prioritizing:

● **Reduced personnel requirements:** Designed to eliminate the need for separate payload specialists and minimize additional certification tracks.

● **Streamlined training integration:** Warhead operation can be incorporated into existing small-UAS training curricula obviating the need for parallel qualification pipelines.

● **Improved operational tempo:** Automated countdown and software-driven arming reduce preparation time and increase responsiveness in dynamic operational environments.

● **Enhanced safety architecture**: High-voltage energy generated only at the moment of command execution reduces stray-current risks and procedural errors.

XTEND serves a diverse set of customers with constantly evolving operational requirements, including homeland security, military, intelligence, and critical-infrastructure protection entities. The company's systems have been operationally deployed by defense and security organizations in over 30 countries and validated in five combat zones.
