NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: DFNS) (“T3 Defense” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd. (“Tiltan”), has been selected by a sensor systems developer and manufacturer to license Majestic.ai, Tiltan’s generative artificial intelligence (AI) synthetic data platform. This marks the first time Majestic.ai will be delivered as software the customer operates itself, rather than as a service Tiltan performs.
Majestic.ai
Majestic.ai is Tiltan’s AI platform for synthetic data generation. The physics-based platform produces labeled image and video datasets that defense customers use to train and validate AI systems when real world data is costly or impossible to collect. The platform covers electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) across land, maritime, air, and space environments, and also supports sensor and hardware development programs.
To date, Majestic.ai has been sold as a managed service, with Tiltan producing each dataset for the customer. This engagement is set to mark the platform’s first delivery as licensed software operated by the customer. Management believes a licensed model can support more repeatable revenue per customer and allow Tiltan to serve more programs without adding project labor for each one.
The Majestic.ai license will be paired with Tiltan’s T-VERSE geospatial 3D content, so the customer receives both the generation engine and the underlying data. Bundling the two also gives Tiltan a second product to attach to future licenses.
Management Commentary
“Synthetic data has become one of the constraints on how quickly advanced sensors and AI systems can be developed and fielded,” said Menny Shalom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T3 Defense. “Tiltan has spent years producing that data for its customers. Licensing Majestic.ai puts the engine, and the content behind it, directly into the customer’s hands. That is a different business than project-by-project services, and we believe it is a meaningful step towards a more scalable, repeatable revenue source from the AI and simulation assets we already own.”
“Our customers must train and validate systems against conditions they cannot practically capture in the field,” said Ehud Shafir, Chief Executive Officer of Tiltan. “With Majestic.ai delivered as licensed software and paired with T-VERSE content, this customer will be able to generate the volume of datasets it needs on its required schedules. Being selected for the first engagement of this kind validates the maturity of the platform and the demand for customer-operated synthetic data generation.”
Commercial Status
The Company is not disclosing the value, scope, or customer identity of the engagement. Majestic.ai has not yet been delivered under this engagement and no revenue has been recognized to date. There can be no assurance as to the timing of delivery, the amount or timing of any revenue recognition, the customer’s continued use or expansion of the license, or that the engagement will result in additional licensed-software programs with this or any other customer.
