CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGIES EXECUTES A 3-WAY CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT WITH BABCOCK INTERNATIONAL AND DRAGANFLY INC AND MAKES A FURTHER ADVANCE TO PLUTUS INVEST AND CONSULTING GMBH

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has signed a mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Babcock International Group PLC and Draganfly Inc. to progress a strategic, multicompany collaboration aimed at strengthening defence and security capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region.

The collaboration brings together complementary strengths across defence engineering, advanced technology integration, unmanned systems and mission-critical operational delivery, enabling sophisticated, scalable solutions for governments, military forces and national-security stakeholders throughout the region.

Leveraging the strengths of three proven organizations

Babcock International Group

Babcock is one of the United Kingdom's leading defence primes, delivering mission-critical engineering, naval support, fleet management, training, base operations and major defence programs. Its long-standing support to the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and allied nations provides a trusted pathway into rapidly developing Asia-Pacific defence markets.

Critical Infrastructure Technologies (CiTech)

CiTech provides advanced engineering capabilities, mission-system integration and technology-driven solutions for defence, national security, critical infrastructure and energy. CiTech specializes in digital architectures, sensor ecosystems, data platforms, decision-support systems and resilient mission environments, forming the technological backbone of the partnership.

Draganfly

Draganfly is an award-winning developer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and sensor-driven data solutions. Its recent military sale of Commander 3XL unmanned systems into the Asia-Pacific region validates the operational maturity of its platforms and reinforces its role in front-line mission support. Draganfly's NDAA-compliant (National Defense Authorization Act) and NATO-supportive (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) systems support military, public-safety and disaster-response operations.

Strengthening regional defence modernization

Together, the three companies form a comprehensive capability stack spanning:

• Mission-critical defence engineering, sustainment and fleet support (Babcock);
• High-assurance digital integration, sensor networks and resilient mission systems (CiTech);
• Advanced UAS, ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) technologies and operational platforms (Draganfly).

This unified capability supports end-to-end solutions across:

• National defence modernization;
• Border and maritime security;
• Disaster and humanitarian response;
• Multidomain situational awareness;
• Critical infrastructure protection;
• Training, sustainment and operational life cycle services.

Positioned for Asia-Pacific defence priorities

As Asia-Pacific governments prioritize security resilience, sovereign capability and rapid-response technologies, the combined strengths of Babcock, CiTech and Draganfly position the group to meet regional requirements with integrated, technologically advanced and operationally proven solutions.

The parties will now begin evaluating targeted opportunities and joint-program concepts tailored to defence and security needs across the region.

Additional advance to Plutus Invest and Consulting GmbH

Further to the company's news released dated July 22, 2025, the company has advanced an additional 50,000 euros to Plutus Invest and Consulting on account of the marketing and communications services provided by Plutus pursuant to the consulting agreement dated July 16, 2025.
