XTEND has secured an additional $30 million in funding to expand its US operations and scale production of its AI-powered tactical autonomous robotic systems.
The company said the new capital will be used to ramp up manufacturing, integrate real-time AI capabilities, and expand deployments across allied defense forces, as well as in humanitarian and emergency response operations.
“The successful completion of our Series B financing highlights the surging demand for mission-critical autonomous systems from allied defense and public safety agencies,” XTEND CEO Aviv Shapira said.
“The investment will fuel accelerated R&D, scale manufacturing, and global deployment expansion.”
The latest investment brings XTEND’s total Series B funding to $70 million. The round is co-led by Aliya Capital Partners and Protego Ventures, with participation from Claltech, Union-Tech Ventures, and Chartered Group.
As part of the deal, Aliya Capital Partners CEO Ross Kestin has joined XTEND’s board of directors.
“XTEND’s mission — to deliver cutting-edge drone and robotics systems for high-risk, mission-critical environments — aligns directly with our vision of supporting technologies that protect and enhance life,” he explained.
The announcement follows the July 1 opening of XTEND’s new US headquarters and advanced drone manufacturing facility in Tampa, Florida.
With the Tampa facility and expanded investor support, XTEND said it is entering a new phase of growth and global relevance in the defense robotics space.
