About the offering

Backed by $5.35M+ in 10 DoD contracts, Target Arm's multi-patented, breakthrough technology solves drone mobility's biggest limitation: launching and recovering from moving vehicles; unlocking opportunities in defense, package delivery and first responder applications. $5.35M+ in non-dilutive DoD funding across 10 contracts with Army, Air Force and Space Force, including 2 active projects, and already booked $3.65M in Revenue since 2019 Dual-use markets for defense & commercial applications – With our first commercial contract secured, we believe we are now positioned to scale across 800,000+ vehicles in need of drone autonomy. 3 issued patents, 1 pending - creating a strong competitive moat that protects our proprietary On-the-Move technology across air, land, sea, and space applications, establishing significant barriers to entry. PROBLEM Most people don't realize this, but today's drones cannot easily and reliably launch or recover from a moving vehicle. You have to stop. Every time. This isn't just a technical limitation – it's a physics challenge: the aerodynamic problem of landing on a moving platform has proven extremely difficult to solve, creating a fundamental bottleneck that drastically reduces the utility and scalability of drones across both defense and commercial sectors. SOLUTION Our clear competitive advantage: Target Arm enables fully autonomous drone launch and recovery from any moving vehicle at any speed - no stopping, no pilot, no delay. Our patented family of products includes our TULAR (pin system) and RALAR (robotic arm) solutions. Both work with rotary and fixed-wing drones, creating a true breakthrough in drone mobility across land, sea, air, and space applications. MARKET The US military's drone market is projected to be $13.7B in 2025, and grow to $24.7B by 2030 (12.4% CAR*) (source), as unmanned systems become essential across all military branches. Simultaneously, the autonomous last-mile delivery market is expanding at a 34% CAR* from $3B to $25B by 2030 (source), with drone package delivery growing even faster at 49% CAR*. (source). Target Arm addresses an opportunity of 800,000 vehicles across these two key sectors. US DOD - 200,000 Combat Vehicles US Package Delivery - 600,000 Delivery Vehicles EARLY TRACTION Our business model is straightforward: we sell one kit per vehicle at $75,000 each, including hardware, software, and support.\ *The above kit data points are vehicle counts of target customers and not related to current Target Arm customers. The kit sales quotas and revenue figures shown are illustrative goals and not guarantees of future performance. They do not reflect signed contracts and are subject to change based on market conditions and execution. Target Arm has already secured validation from military and commercial partners, including 10 DoD contracts totaling $5.35M+ in non-dilutive* funding. (*refers to government-provided capital that does not require giving up equity or ownership in a company. It supports R&D efforts without diluting founder or investor shares.) Our technology has been successfully demonstrated with the Special Operations Command, U.S. Army, and Hyundai Motor Group in multiple field tests. We've also secured a $3M Air Force R&D subcontract to repurpose our Al-enhanced software for Autonomous Air-Air Refueling, demonstrating the versatility of our core Al-enhanced software. As commercial drone regulations evolve with the expanding Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) approvals from the FAA, we have already signed our first contract with Recon Rig (March 2025) and are in early-stage talks with a few other logistics companies interested in our technology. THE TECHNOLOGY Our Ralar and Tular devices transform vehicles into mobile drone bases, enabling continuous operations without stop-and-launch and stop-and-recover limitations. Ralar is a robotic arm that reaches out, grabs the drone, and pulls it in, all while on the move. It's like a mechanical catcher's mitt that knows exactly where the drone is and how to bring it home safely. Tular is like a drone parking spot that grabs drones mid-air, even while the vehicle is driving. It uses a special pin system that helps the drone guide itself in and securely attach while everything's still moving. The telescopic pins allow Tular to conform and capture any shape of drone. Both systems are vehicle-agnostic, able to mount on delivery trucks, military vehicles; boats and ships, or unmanned ground vehicles. Our technology enables continuous operations without the usual stop-and-launch and stop-and-recover limitations that plague current drone deployments. WHAT'S AHEAD: OUR ROADMAP Our immediate focus is testing RALAR on HDT Global's Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in Summer 2025, followed by a multi-week demonstration with the U.S. Army National Guard in Michigan (August 2025). These demonstrations represent critical milestones in our military integration timeline, with additional Army-sponsored field demos confirmed in North Carolina, Alaska, and Hawaii for late 2025 and early 2026. Simultaneously, we're developing our "Magazine Capability" - a multi-drone (10) system for both military and commercial applications. This advancement will revolutionize drone deployment, enabling vehicles to operate multiple drones simultaneously for enhanced surveillance, delivery capacity, and operational efficiency. Our proven military technology is now ready for commercial scaling, especially for integration with autonomous vehicles for last-mile delivery. This innovation is designed to enable 24/7 unmanned package delivery with drones from unmanned package delivery trucks. Commercial drone delivery is poised to expand as FAA regulations rapidly evolve to enable autonomous drones beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) in late 2025, or early 2026, according to the Honorable Sean Duffy, Secretary of Transportation (source). We are planning Target Arm's technology and Roadmap to coincide with this timing. Major test zones like Dallas are already active, with nationwide implementation expected by late 2025. When these regulations open up the national airspace, we believe companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS will need in-motion launch technology to realize the projected 95% cost reduction in last-mile delivery - from $4-5 to just $0.25 per package. (source) OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE There are a few tech competitors for in-motion drone recovery, but with severe limitations on speed and uses. Target Arm's innovation is protected by 3 issued patents and 1 pending application, covering operations across air, sea, land, and space. Clear competitive advantage: Target Arm enables fully autonomous drone launch and recovery from any moving vehicle at any speed - no stopping, no pilot, no delay. USE OF FUNDS This round will accelerate Target Arm's transition from proven prototypes to initial commercial production. With our roadmap focused on scaling between 2025-2028, this funding enables us to hire key engineering and sales talent, build demonstration kits, and prepare for manufacturing while supporting our existing military contracts with their monthly recurring revenue. WHY INVEST Target Arm has solved a fundamental problem in drone operations, validated by $5.35M+ in military contracts and backed by $2.5M+ from venture capital, family offices, and angel investors. We have already booked $3.65M in Revenue. Our patent protected technology serves multiple billion-dollar markets, with clear revenue paths across government and enterprise customers. This is likely the final opportunity for retail investors before our Series A, with proven technology ready for commercial scaling.
