Duke Robotics Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
Strong Quarter Highlighted by Advancing the Company’s International Expansion Strategy
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duke Robotics Corp. (OTCQB: DUKR) ("Duke Robotics" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced robotics technology and autonomous drone solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.
Yossef Balucka, Chief Executive Officer of Duke Robotics, commented: “The third quarter of 2025 marked meaningful progress in advancing our international expansion strategy. We strengthened our operations in Greece and achieved significant milestones across our defense and civilian business lines. On the defense and civilian fronts, we’re encouraged by growing government focus on drone technologies worldwide, highlighted by President Trump’s recent executive order promoting the advancement of both commercial and defense applications of autonomous systems, as well as the U.S. Army’s stated goal to procure at least one million drones over the coming years1. We also confirmed initial royalty revenues under our collaboration agreement with Elbit Systems Land Ltd. (“Elbit”). Together with a successful 2025 IC Drone operations season with the Israel Electric Corporation (“IEC”), we believe that these developments position Duke Robotics for meaningful growth as we expand across both defense and civilian markets.”
Recent Business Highlights
