The debut of XTEND’s Seek & Strike solution marked the first public demonstration of human-in-the-loop (HITL) supervision driving multi-drone collaboration and highlights XTEND’s ongoing commitment to providing scalable, adaptable solutions to meet the evolving needs of defense, law enforcement and private security markets. The demonstration featured an interoperable fleet of drones performing highly synchronized, variable tasks as a unified team. Operating under strict HITL architecture, it reinforced XTEND’s strategic identity as a software-first, XOS-driven platform company, while firmly establishing its position as pioneer in advanced multi-drone collaboration. “XOS natively handles the heavy lifting of spatial cognition and autonomous data handoffs between Seeker and Effector; this cross-platform autonomous coordination entirely eliminates the friction of manual piloting,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. “By reducing operator dependency and dramatically shortening deployment timelines, XOS enables us to scale efficiently across new customers, platforms, and geographies. Its modular, software-driven architecture supports rapid integration of additional robotic assets and third-party systems, creating a foundation for recurring software adoption and long-term expansion of the XTEND ecosystem.” During the Seek & Strike demonstration, the operator used the XOS Mission Planner to seamlessly orchestrate a complex operation, defining AI-driven micro-tasks. A team of Seeker drones autonomously scanned a designated area, detecting and classifying potential targets wi...
