NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, May 26, 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 subsidiary Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd. (“Tiltan”), has secured a $1.3 million order as part of a large-scale Israeli defense unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”) program.
The order supports an advanced virtual and constructive simulation environment for a multi-domain UAS array, designed for large-scale operational training and mission preparation in system-of-systems scenarios. The environment enables the integration of multiple operational platforms and mission profiles into a unified synthetic battlespace, supporting next-generation defense and swarm applications.
Execution will be carried out using Tiltan’s TOPS-NX state-of-the-art IR physics-based 3D engine, providing advanced infrared (IR) and visual (VIS) simulation capabilities. The engine operates in a cloud environment, supports multiple concurrent instances, and enables ultra-high-resolution sensor rendering with exceptional fidelity.
Tiltan’s TOPS-NX is capable of simulating dense urban environments containing thousands of entities while maintaining the very high frame rates required for real-time operational scenarios. As part of the agreement, Tiltan will also provide its T-VERSE services, including the delivery of material-based, high-fidelity 3D models and digital twins, enabling the creation of highly accurate synthetic operational environments in both IR and VIS domains, tailored to complex mission and training requirements.
“TOPS-NX successfully met the customer’s most demanding benchmarking and performance requirements, proving its ability to deliver the scalability, fidelity, and reliability required for next-generation defense simulation environments,” said Ehud Shafir, CEO of Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd. “This award reflects years of investment in our simulation platform and validates Tiltan’s role as a trusted supplier to the defense establishment. Building on this momentum, Tiltan is actively engaged with multiple Tier-1 defense contractors and currently has over $5 million in active RFPs, reflecting our capabilities across the defense sector.”
“This order is an important validation of our strategy to assemble a portfolio of mission-critical defense technology businesses with deep domain expertise and strong positions in priority defense markets,” said Menny Shalom, CEO of T3 Defense. “Tiltan’s selection for this large-scale UAS training platform underscores the strategic relevance of our simulation and AI capabilities to front-line operators and strengthens our long-term growth outlook and backlog visibility.”
