Mobix Labs Expands M&A Focus on High-Growth Drone Market Following UAS Wins

March 31, 2026

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 31, 2026-- Mobix Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBX), a provider of advanced technology solutions for defense, aerospace, and high-reliability markets, announced today that it is making a strategic growth commitment to opportunities in the rapidly growing global unmanned aircraft system (UAS) or drone market. The drone initiative is supported by Mobix Labs’ core strengths in wireless connectivity, sensing technologies, and high-performance systems for demanding environments, including the capabilities of its RaGE Systems subsidiary.

The program builds on initial successes, including the field deployment phase of a drone-based airborne sensing platform and the Company’s recent selection for a feasibility program for next-generation smart munitions technology for anti-drone applications. Mobix Labs’ drone-based airborne sensing platform combines high-precision sensors, autonomous flight capability, and integrated analytics to support automated inspection across rail, utility, and industrial environments.

Phil Sansone, Mobix Labs CEO, stated, “Rapid projected growth in the drone market, creates an exciting opportunity to leverage our engineering and technical strengths, including advanced signal processing, secure communications, and miniaturized hardware design, across a growing range of use cases. We are already engaged in two drone related projects and are refocusing our M&A efforts on complementary drone-related opportunities.”

M&A Focus Also Shifts to Drone Opportunities

Mobix Labs is also focusing its M&A strategy on drone platform companies and technologies to accelerate its market reach and potential. The Company is actively engaged in early-stage discussions with several potential acquisition targets. Mobix Labs aims to further integrate its existing capabilities into next-generation airborne systems to support military applications as well as private sector infrastructure inspection, monitoring, and scanning solutions.

The Company believes that drone platforms represent a rapidly expanding opportunity across both defense and commercial sectors, where the combination of connectivity, sensing, and mobility is becoming increasingly critical. Mobix Labs’ refocused acquisition strategy is intended to position the Company at the intersection of these trends, enabling it to participate more directly in the deployment and scaling of advanced unmanned systems.
