HOBOKEN, N.J., September 22, 2026 -- Rocket One Inc. (Nasdaq: RKTO)
(“Rocket One” or the “Company”), a technology company focused on artificial intelligence, advanced computing, space
and defense applications, today announced that it has entered into a definitive Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire all
of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Tracer Drone Technologies, LLC (“Tracer”), a New Jersey-based provider
of drone hardware, software, training, maintenance and managed services.
Under the agreement, Rocket One will acquire 100% of Tracer. The transaction
is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Upon closing, Tracer is expected to operate as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Rocket One.
Strategic rationale
● Adds
an established, revenue-generating commercial platform spanning drone sales, systems integration,
training, maintenance, repair, and customer support.
● Expands
Rocket One across public-safety and enterprise markets, including first-responder drone programs,
thermal systems, drone detection, drone-as-a-first-responder solutions, and managed services.
● Creates
a direct commercial channel for Rocket One technologies, including Swarm Stage AI and future
AI-enabled autonomous, swarm-simulation and counter-UAS offerings.
● Combines
operating drone capabilities with Rocket One’s broader AI, space, and defense technology
strategy.
“We expect the acquisition of Tracer to give Rocket One a revenue-generating
foundation in the drone market, with established sales, service, training and customer-support capabilities,” said Robb Knie, Chief
Executive Officer of Rocket One. “This transaction is about building a larger commercial platform at the intersection of drones,
public safety, artificial intelligence and defense. By combining Tracer’s operating capabilities with Swarm Stage AI and our broader technology
portfolio, we believe Rocket One can accelerate the path from innovation to real-world deployment across autonomous, counter-UAS and mission-support
applications.”
Tracer offers a broad portfolio of drone solutions for organizations
seeking to launch or expand unmanned aircraft programs. Its public-facing offerings include drone hardware and accessories, NDAA-compliant
and Blue List options, thermal systems, drone detection, first-responder solutions, FAA Part 107 training, software, repair and maintenance,
and managed services such as 3D mapping, LiDAR, and gas analysis.
Transaction details
The definitive agreement was executed on September 18, 2026. The closing
will occur following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the agreement, including delivery of the required transaction
documents and other customary conditions. Additional information regarding the transaction will be included in Rocket One filings with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as applicable.
