  • Israeli defense-tech company XTEND has integrated Latvia-based robotics firm Atlas, expanding its European presence and adding over 4,200 robotic platforms.
  • The acquisition strengthens XTEND's ability to supply NATO and EU defense organizations with autonomous systems and increases its European market access.
  • The integration establishes XFAB Latvia as XTEND's European manufacturing hub, driving scaled production and innovation.

Israeli-American defense-tech company XTEND has significantly bolstered its European footprint and product portfolio through the integration of Latvia-based robotics firm Atlas. This strategic move, following XTEND's acquisition of Atlas earlier this year, adds over 4,200 robotic platforms to the company's offerings and incorporates four operational Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platforms powered by XTEND's XOS system.

The integration also brings AtlasRADIO, a software-defined tactical communications platform, into XTEND's communications suite. Designed for OEM deployment and network-centric architectures, AtlasRADIO supports secure mesh networking and embedded integration across robotic systems. This marks XTEND's initial foray into offering intelligent software-defined robotic components through its Marketplace ecosystem.

Atlas’ exceptional engineering talent, operational technologies, more than 4,200 deployed systems, and access to approximately 40 European markets significantly accelerate our vision of building the Operating System for Physical AI on a global scale.

With XFAB Latvia designated as XTEND's European manufacturing and engineering center, the company aims to drive scaled production and innovation for its global customer base. This move is expected to strengthen regional supply chains and better meet the needs of local European clients. "Atlas’ exceptional engineering talent, operational technologies, more than 4,200 deployed systems, and access to approximately 40 European markets significantly accelerate our vision of building the Operating System for Physical AI on a global scale," stated Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND.

Gal Gabison, General Manager of XTEND XFAB Latvia, emphasized that the merger preserves Atlas's legacy of reliable, mission-focused technologies while fostering faster innovation and broader global reach. The combined entity is positioned to enhance XTEND's support for NATO members, EU defense organizations, and allied nations with regionally manufactured, mission-ready autonomous systems, significantly increasing market access across Europe.

Together, we are building something significantly larger than either company could have achieved independently.
