May 26, 2026

Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (FSE: ABB.F) (“Volatus” or the “Company”), a Canadian-headquartered global aerospace and defence company, today announced that it has been selected to advance to the next phase of evaluation under the U.S. Drone Dominance Program Phase II initiative.

The Drone Dominance Program is a U.S. defence innovation and rapid acquisition initiative focused on evaluating scalable, operationally relevant uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) designed for deployment in the toughest battlefield environments.

Volatus submitted its application under Mission Area A – Long Range Strike, utilizing a One-Way Attack (OWA) FPV platform developed through allied industrial collaboration and supported by the Company’s broader autonomy, aerospace operations, and manufacturing capabilities. The next phase is expected to include operational qualification activities, production readiness assessments, and additional program evaluations.

“This advancement represents an important milestone for our defence and autonomy initiatives,” said Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Volatus Aerospace. “The evolving global security environment is driving demand for scalable, resilient, and operationally practical uncrewed systems. We believe our participation in this program reflects the growing relevance of our broader aerospace platform, including our operational expertise, manufacturing strategy, autonomy roadmap, and allied industrial relationships.”

The Company cautions that advancement to the next phase of the program does not guarantee future selection, prototype award, production orders, or commercial agreements. Volatus is continuing to support qualification activities in accordance with program requirements and timelines.

Volatus Aerospace continues to expand its capabilities across autonomous systems, aerospace manufacturing, remote operations, training, and defence-related technologies through operations in Canada, the United States, and allied international markets.
