Booth 7207 to feature hands-on mission simulator, connected platforms across five mission sets, the XTEND Marketplace, and Gauntlet II Top Performer STRIKER; XTEND NEST integration with AM General UGV on display at AM General booth

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. (NYSE: XTND) ("XTEND" or the "Company"), a software and Physical AI company serving Defense, Homeland Security, and Commercial Security markets, today announced that it will showcase its Physical AI ecosystem and XOS-powered robotic platforms, designed to protect those who protect us, at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2026 Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place October 12-14, 2026, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. XTEND will exhibit at Booth 7207 and will also be featured at the AM General booth.

At Booth 7207, visitors will experience:

• Interactive Simulator Station: Hands-on experience operating XTEND robotic systems across different mission scenarios using XTEND's intuitive Mark & Fly control and XOS operating system.
• XOS-Powered Robotic Platforms: A display of connected robotic platforms supporting Seek & Strike, Border Protection, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Counter-UAS, and Indoor Operations.
• XTEND Marketplace & Ecosystem: A showcase of XTEND's open, hardware-agnostic ecosystem connecting robotic platforms, AI capabilities, payloads, and third-party technologies through XOS.
• STRIKER Spotlight: Featuring STRIKER, recently selected as a Top Performer in Gauntlet II of the U.S. Drone Dominance Program (DDP).

XTEND will also be featured at the AM General booth, showcasing the integration of XTEND NEST with the AM General unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Powered by XOS, XTEND's operating system for Physical AI, the mobile launch pod enables deployment of the Scorpio 1000 aerial robotic system from a ground vehicle, supporting ISR and reconnaissance missions while keeping warfighters farther from potentially dangerous areas.

"AUSA is where the Army sees what is ready for the field, and our message this year is simple: one operating system, many missions," said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. "XOS lets a single operator control air and ground robots with Mark & Fly, plug in third-party payloads and AI through our open marketplace, and launch aerial systems directly from vehicles like the AM General UGV. Fresh off STRIKER's Top Performer selection in Gauntlet II, we look forward to putting our systems in the hands of soldiers and Army leaders in Washington."
