XTEND Delivers Hundreds of M6F Tactical ISR Systems to Asia-Pacific Defense Customer
Lightweight system weighing less than two kilograms supports indoor and outdoor intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations at the tactical edge
TAMPA, Fla. and SINGAPORE, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) announced today that XTEND, a leader in software systems and artificial intelligence-powered robotics, has completed deliveries of M6F tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems to a new defense customer in the Asia-Pacific region through its Singapore-based subsidiary, Performance Rotors.
The deliveries support the continued deployment of lightweight ISR capabilities designed for frontline military operations. In accordance with customer security and contractual requirements, additional details regarding this deployment are not being disclosed.
Designed around the operational requirements of the individual soldier, the M6F provides a highly portable aerial ISR capability for both indoor and outdoor missions. The complete system weighs less than two kilograms, enabling soldiers to carry and deploy an organic reconnaissance capability during extended field operations without adding significant weight to their mission equipment.
The M6F is engineered to provide real-time situational awareness in complex operational environments. Its compact, rugged design supports repeated use across both military training and operational missions, while its intuitive control architecture is designed to reduce training requirements and enable operators to achieve proficiency quickly.
“The modern battlefield requires intelligence capabilities that can be carried, deployed and operated directly by frontline soldiers,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. “The M6F was designed to deliver that capability in a compact and highly resilient system that can support both indoor and outdoor operations. The M6F reflects XTEND's commitment to developing lightweight, mission-ready ISR solutions that address the evolving operational requirements of modern defense forces.”
The M6F is part of XTEND’s broader portfolio of software-enabled robotic systems designed to extend the reach and effectiveness of defense and security operators while reducing human exposure in high-risk environments. XTEND’s systems combine advanced robotic hardware with intuitive control, mission management and autonomous capabilities designed to support rapid deployment across diverse operational scenarios.
The execution of these deliveries reinforce XTEND's long-term commitment to supporting defense customers across the Asia-Pacific region through local engineering, manufacturing and customer support capabilities.
