T3 Defense Inc. (NASDAQ:DFNS) ("T3 Defense" or the "Company"), a holding company that acquires and operates mission-critical defense businesses, today announced an increase in business activity across its portfolio of subsidiaries.

While many of these discussions are in the pre-order stage, the Company believes the rising level of engagement reflects a growing recognition of its capabilities across the markets it serves, driven in part by recent geopolitical developments and associated global investments in defense capabilities.

The Company reported a rise in requests for proposals (RFPs), inbound potential customer inquiries, and early-stage inquiries from OEMs across all of its operating subsidiaries. This activity reflects growing demand for solutions spanning integrated defense systems, counter-UAS capabilities, AI-driven security platforms, infrastructure supporting mission-critical operations, and advanced engineering and manufacturing services.

As governments and defense organizations continue to evaluate and expand capabilities, demand is increasingly extending beyond OEMs to include specialized suppliers and technology providers that support system delivery and deployment. The Company has received a significant number of inquiries and RFPs from OEMs. T3 Defense's portfolio is strategically positioned within these critical layers of the defense industrial base, where engineering capacity, manufacturing capabilities, and specialized technologies play a key role in enabling program execution.

As T3 Defense continues to integrate its portfolio and execute on its operational strategy, the Company expects to provide further updates as these requests are transformed into customer engagements and contracts and additional opportunities emerge.
