Recent geopolitical developments and evolving global security challenges have underscored the increasing importance of reliable drone technology, resilient supply chains, and rapid innovation in unmanned systems. Governments and defense organizations are increasingly relying on drones for intelligence, logistics, infrastructure protection, and humanitarian operations.
Consistent with these trends, we have submitted applications for three distinct drone development programs administered by the Defense Innovation Unit (“DIU”) of the U.S. Department of War, which accelerates the adoption of commercial technology to strengthen national security, and The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA):
- DIU – U.S. Department of War – RIMES (Runway Independent Maritime & Expeditionary Strike)
- DIU – U.S. Department of War – Containerized Autonomous Drone Delivery System (CADDS)
- DARPA Lift Challenge
(These submissions represent applications to participate in federal government programs and there can be no assurance that XTI will be selected for participation in any such program.)
Capabilities and access include:
- Enterprise and government unmanned systems deployment
- Logistics and mission support technologies
- Research and development of next-generation aerospace platforms
- U.S.- based advanced drone manufacturing and integration
