About XTEND

Founded in Israel in 2018, XTEND develops AI-powered tactical autonomous robotic systems designed for high-risk, mission-critical environments. The company’s systems are engineered to support defense, homeland security, and humanitarian response efforts, with thousands of units already deployed globally. XTEND’s proprietary XOS operating system fuses real-time artificial intelligence with human-guided control, enabling precision, safety, and efficiency in complex mission scenarios.

XTEND’s robotic platforms are currently operational with the U.S. Department of Defense, the Israel Defense Forces, and allied defense organizations across Europe, the UK, and Asia. Its technologies are actively used to enhance situational awareness, minimize operator risk, and reduce cognitive load in the field.

In 2025, XTEND completed a $70 million Series B funding round, which included a $30 million strategic extension to accelerate U.S. and global production, enhance AI capabilities, and expand deployments across allied defense and emergency response sectors. The company simultaneously opened a U.S. headquarters and advanced manufacturing facility in Tampa, Florida, marking a key milestone in its North American expansion and alignment with U.S. defense initiatives.

XTEND’s platforms are NDAA-compliant and designed with modular payload integration, streamlined operator interfaces, and minimal hardware complexity to support rapid deployment. The company’s systems continue to set a high standard for human-machine teaming and real-time autonomy in evolving operational theaters.
