The Albany Gazette - First Breach Secures Federal Explosives License for Attritible Drone Manufacturing

HAGERSTOWN, MD / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / First Breach Inc. (NASDAQ:FBDT) ("First Breach" or the "Company"), a U.S. based developer and manufacturer of defense technologies, today announced that it has secured a Type 23 Federal Explosives License from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The license, valid through September 1, 2029, expands the Company's regulated materials capabilities as it advances its U.S.-made attritable strike drone platforms.

"We believe this license represents a significant milestone for First Breach and provides the Company with a strategic advantage in the attritable drone market," said Jeffrey Low, Chief Executive Officer of First Breach. "Together with our existing licenses, U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities and proprietary drone development program, it positions us to manufacture and integrate complete U.S.-made attritable strike drone systems at our Hagerstown facility, including mission-specific payload capabilities. This integrated approach is designed to provide greater control over quality, production and scalability as we advance toward production readiness."

The license authorizes First Breach to engage in the regulated importation of explosive materials, expanding the capabilities available at its Hagerstown, Maryland facility. Together with the Company's existing federal and state licenses, it supports First Breach's ability to access, handle and integrate certain regulated materials and components required for the development, testing and manufacture of complete attritable strike drone systems.

These expanded capabilities are expected to support First Breach's previously announced plans to begin scaling drone production in the second quarter of 2027 scaling drone production in the second quarter of 2027, with a targeted production capacity of more than 2,500 drones per week as manufacturing operations expand. The license adds to First Breach's existing federal and state licensing, defense trade compliance infrastructure and ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.

The new license does not constitute approval of a specific drone platform, payload, military procurement or export transaction. Any future production, sale or export of defense articles will remain subject to all applicable U.S. laws, customer requirements and regulatory approvals.
