Summary

XTEND develops XOS, a hardware-agnostic operating system for drones, robots and other unmanned systems. The software lets operators supervise multiple assets, move from teleoperation toward supervised autonomy and coordinate missions across different platforms.

Market context

XTEND is a defence robotics company focused on reducing operator training burden while keeping humans in the mission loop. Its systems sit between FPV tactical drones, counter-UAS interceptors, robotic manipulation drones, and AI-assisted mission control for contested environments. XTEND supplies XOS-controlled drone and robotic systems for defense, public-safety and security missions, including autonomous multi-drone operations and robotic-fleet orchestration.
