NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: DFNS) (“T3 Defense” or the “Company”), a defense company that acquires and operates mission-critical defense businesses, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Nimbus Drones Technologies Ltd. (“Nimbus”), has entered into an exclusive marketing and reseller agreement with Copting GmbH (“Copting”), a German developer and manufacturer of advanced unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Under the agreement, Nimbus will exclusively market and resell Copting’s Falkawn-BOS tethered drone system in Israel.
The agreement expands Nimbus’ product portfolio into persistent aerial surveillance, complementing T3 Defense’s existing drone and counter-drone capabilities. Nimbus plans to offer complete deployment packages combining system sales with integration, training and support services. This model creates opportunities to generate revenue from initial deployments and recurring services as Nimbus builds an installed customer base.
The agreement covers the Falkawn-BOS system, including its ground station, software, accessories and spare parts, for defense, homeland security, emergency response, critical infrastructure and public-safety customers in Israel.
The agreement comes as tethered drone systems attract interest internationally for defense, public safety and critical infrastructure applications. According to a recent report available through Research and Markets, the European tethered drone market was estimated at approximately $128 million in 2024 and is projected to reach approximately $723 million by 2031, supported by defense investment and broader adoption across public-safety and commercial operations. Against this broader market backdrop, Nimbus’ opportunity is to serve these types of operational needs in Israel, combining Copting’s technology with local integration, training, outdoor enclosures and ongoing maintenance and support.
“The Falkawn-BOS system expands our ability to address customers’ needs for extended aerial monitoring at fixed sites and from mobile command vehicles,” said Yehuda Harush, Chief Executive Officer of Nimbus. “Our opportunity goes beyond supplying the system. We see potential to provide the integration, training and ongoing support customers need to put it to work in their operations.”
“Our growth strategy includes broadening our subsidiaries’ product offerings to create additional revenue opportunities,” said Menny Shalom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T3 Defense. “This agreement adds complementary product to Nimbus’ portfolio and provides another avenue for product sales and related services. It builds on our drone and counter-drone capabilities while expanding the range of defense and security requirements we can address. We believe this product line could become a meaningful contributor to Nimbus’ revenue in 2027, with opportunities for ongoing maintenance and support as the customer base grows.”
