Gaxos.ai Inc. (NASDAQ:GXAI) a company developing artificial intelligence applications across various high-growth sectors, today announced that America First Defense secured a license for the Detachable Drone Highjacker, a drone-mounted electronic warfare payload originally developed at the Naval Postgraduate school to counter and defeat hostile Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
The DDH attached to a friendly drone and neutralizes enemy UASs through target cyber operations rather than broad-spectrum jamming.
Unlike conventional counter-drone systems that rely on brute-force signal interference, the DDH is engineered for selective, precision defeat of hostile drones in air-to-air operations.
The licensing agreement positions America First Defense to further develop and commercialize a scalable airborne counter-UAS capability for defense, security, and critical infrastructure protection applications.
“This platform represents a differentiated approach to defeating hostile drones through precision electronic warfare,” said Vadim Mats, CEO of Gaxos. “Our stake in AFD positions us at the forefront of counter-UAS technology.”
Further updates regarding development and deployment initiatives will be announced as the Company advances the program.
America First Defense is an American defense technology company focused on developing advanced defense systems including airborne counter-drone technology and biomimetic soft robotics platforms designed for defense, homeland security, and critical infrastructure applications.
GXAI shares tacked on 73 cents, or 59.8% to $1.97.
