As the global security landscape evolves at an unprecedented pace, NATO faces complex and multi-domain challenges—from the resurgence of conventional warfare in Europe to asymmetric threats in the Middle East and the rise of strategic competition in Asia. In this volatile context, ensuring operational agility, force protection, and mission success requires rapid innovation and the seamless integration of AI and autonomous capabilities. At XTEND Defense, we are proud to stand at the forefront of this effort.
Our mission is clear: to empower NATO forces as well as other friendly users with cutting-edge, human-guided autonomous systems that can adapt to the realities of modern warfare—where GPS and communications can be denied, where environments shift from urban rooftops to underground tunnels and from tough mountains to dense forests and where operations must continue day and night, in any weather conditions.
XTEND’s systems are designed to serve as trusted, mission-enabling assets across both defensive and offensive scenarios. By leveraging AI-driven navigation, sensor fusion, and edge computing, our platforms can operate with a high level of autonomy while keeping the human operator in control. This unique human-in-the-loop architecture ensures ethical decision-making, real-time adaptability, and unmatched situational awareness, even in disconnected or hostile environments.
What set XTEND apart from everything else?
What truly sets XTEND apart is the immediate tactical advantage our systems bring to the battlefield. Combining precision lethality with intuitive controls and a fully autonomous strike mode, our platforms deliver cost-effective, scalable results with near-zero training time. Operators can become mission-ready within minutes, thanks to an interface as instinctive as a video game and advanced autonomy that executes complex tasks with minimal human input. Whether manually operated or fully automated, XTEND systems deliver the agility and precision required for today’s fast-moving operational theaters.
From remotely neutralizing threats inside structures to executing precision ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) missions and supporting frontline units with logistics and force protection, our solutions are versatile, rugged, and field-proven. Importantly, they are deployable across NATO forces today and scalable to meet their future requirements.
To meet the growing demand, XTEND has established robust and agile manufacturing capabilities capable of producing thousands of systems monthly across the United States, Europe, and Asia. This global production footprint ensures not only delivery at scale, but also operational continuity, supply chain resilience, and alignment with regional security and industrial policies. Our partners can count on rapid fielding, sustained support, and a technological edge wherever they operate.
At XTEND, we are not just building systems—we are redefining how modern warfare is fought. Through a powerful combination of autonomy, precision, and human-machine teaming, we are delivering the tools NATO forces need to stay ahead of tomorrow’s threats.
