XTEND was founded in Tel Aviv in 2018 by Aviv Shapira, Matteo Shapira, Rubi Liani, and Adir Tubi. The company operates privately, most recently raising a $40 million Series B funding round in May 2024 led by Chartered Group. XTEND develops XOS, a human-guided autonomous operating system for drones and robotics that utilizes augmented and virtual reality interfaces. The most consequential event for the company in the past year was the widespread operational deployment of its drones by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the 2023-2024 war, specifically for indoor combat and subterranean tunnel exploration.
The primary product line revolves around XOS, an operating system designed to enable operators with no prior flight experience to maneuver drones in complex, GPS-denied environments. The system targets defense, security, and industrial inspection buyers, prominently including the IDF and the US Department of Defense. XOS integrates edge AI and VR headsets to shift the cognitive load of flying away from the human operator, allowing them to focus on the mission payload or data collection rather than manual flight mechanics.
XOS is the flagship software platform, built as a hardware-agnostic system but frequently deployed alongside XTEND's proprietary drone frames. The Wolverine is a ruggedized, multi-purpose micro-tactical drone used heavily for Counter-IED (Improvised Explosive Device) operations and payload drops. Another named system is the Griffon, a counter-UAS drone designed to physically intercept and neutralize hostile drones in mid-air.
XTEND is headquartered in Tel Aviv, where its primary R&D, engineering, and localized manufacturing operations are based. The company maintains an extremely tight integration with the Israeli defense establishment. Its systems are actively used by specialized IDF units, including the Yahalom combat engineering unit. During the 2023-2024 conflict, XTEND engineers worked directly with military personnel to rapidly iterate on drone software capabilities based on real-time battlefield feedback.
