MIRABEL – October 27, 2026 -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX: FLT) has qualified in all five streams of the Government of Canada's Defence Drone Initiative (DDI) Marketplace, widening the range of defence requirements it can bid on.

Five streams cover systems, services and training

United Kingdom – October 27, 2026 -- Volatus Aerospace secured a strategic partnership in the past 20 months that allowed a major UK client to transition to autonomous aerial inspections, according to U.K. Sales Manager Hash Chishty.

Chishty has led enterprise drone expansion across UK infrastructure for close to two years

Chishty holds bachelor's and master's degrees in Aeronautical & Aerospace Engineering and previously worked as a Boeing 737 Performance Engineer before moving into technical sales. At Volatus, he works with organizations to identify where autonomy and aerial intelligence can address operational challenges.

He describes the partnership as more than a revenue win, saying it improved safety, efficiency and sustainability at scale. The client was not named.

VAUGHAN – October 27, 2026 -- Volatus Aerospace (TSX: FLT) has completed initial flight testing of its V-Cortex AI Flight Controller and Autonomy Operating System, demonstrating navigation without GPS and without external sensors.

The aircraft held flight using only default onboard sensors in GNSS-denied conditions. Volatus names three target environments where GPS signals are unavailable, degraded or deliberately disrupted: contested zones, dense urban areas and remote regions such as Canada's Arctic.
