Xtend will develop multi-payload drones for the Pentagon’s irregular warfare office under an $8.9 million deal.
This is the sixth contract between Xtend and the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate, and it follows a deal in May for the supply of hundreds of Wolverine Gen2 drones to the U.S. government.
The company, strengthening its foothold in the United States, recently established its U.S. based subsidiary Xtend Reality. The company attended the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference earlier this month, where it demonstrated a so-called human-guided autonomous drone system with a simulator.
The new contract will see the delivery next year of hundreds of drones that can operate indoors and outdoors.
XTEND's acquisition of Singapore based drone firm marks an exciting expansion into the inspection market.
