NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, Nov. 05, 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, Rimon Agencies Ltd. (“Rimon”), has delivered a mobile command-and-control (C2) container to BlueBird Aero Systems Ltd. (“BlueBird”), an Israeli developer and manufacturer of micro, mini and tactical unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including hybrid fixed-wing VTOL UAVs.
A Ground Control Station That Moves with the Mission
Rimon engineered the container as a fully integrated, self-sustaining operating environment. The delivered configuration brings together on-board power system, elevated masts for communications and data-link antennas and complete communications infrastructure, together with operator workstations, environmental control/air-conditioning.
The platform is designed to complement tactical, portable ground control equipment by providing a sustained operating base for extended-duration missions, larger operating crews and the control of UAV and VTOL platforms on land and, where required, in maritime and coastal environments.
BlueBird’s UAS, including its hybrid fixed-wing VTOL platforms, are in operational use in Israel and worldwide, and the company maintains a strategic partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
This delivery is part of the strategic announcement of mobile UAV and C-UAV platform line Rimon introduced in August 2026.
“UAV manufacturers build the aircraft; our role is to build everything the operator needs on the ground to fly it, sustain it and stay connected,” said Itamar Shimoni, Chief Executive Officer of Rimon. “For BlueBird, we brought power systems, masts and communications into one container that is ready to operate as soon as it is in place. We see growing interest from UAV developers and operators, in Israel and abroad, who need their ground control to be as mobile as their aircraft.”
“In August we introduced Rimon’s platform line to give drone and counter-drone programs the mobile infrastructure they need to operate anywhere,” said Menny Shalom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T3 Defense. “In October we delivered the first C2 vehicle under that line to B.K. Vision Ltd., a leading Israeli provider of homeland security services, and today we are delivering a ground control container to BlueBird, an established Israeli UAV manufacturer. Two deliveries, to two very different customers, show the breadth of demand for this line. Each delivery widens the range of customers Rimon serves, from homeland security operators to aircraft developers, and supports our goal of building a repeatable, configurable product business around mission-critical ground infrastructure.”
