Star Metro - First Breach Plans to Integrate Onboard AI Computing into CQS and LRS Drone Platforms

HAGERSTOWN, MD / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2026 / First Breach Inc. (NASDAQ:FBDT) ("First Breach" or the "Company"), an American-made defense technologies company focused on vertically integrated ammunition production and next-generation unmanned aerial systems, today announced plans to integrate Hellbender, Inc.'s Mission Compute Carrier ("MCC") into its Close Quarters Strike ("CQS") and Long Range Strike ("LRS") drone platforms. The planned configuration will make a mission computer and dedicated artificial intelligence processor standard components of both platforms, supporting perception, navigation, and mission software.

"Autonomy is not a feature you bolt on after the fact. It needs to be considered from the start," said Jeffrey Low, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of First Breach. "A common computing architecture gives us a foundation for advancing both platforms while streamlining the components and assembly processes needed for planned production."

The planned hardware includes a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 mission computer and a dedicated Hailo-8 artificial intelligence processor. These components are intended to process compatible camera and sensor data aboard the aircraft, reducing the need to transmit that data elsewhere for processing. The MCC connects directly to Hellbender's flight controller through board-to-board connectors, an architecture designed to reduce interconnecting cables, simplify assembly, and limit potential connection-related failure points.

Following the Company's previously announced autonomous-flight milestone, the planned MCC integration is intended to provide onboard computing capacity for further perception, navigation, and mission-software development.

First Breach continues to target completion of its initial prototypes in the fourth quarter of 2026 and plans to begin scaling production in the second quarter of 2027. As manufacturing operations expand, the Company is targeting production capacity of more than 2,500 drones per week. The timing and pace of that expansion remain subject to development, testing, and manufacturing readiness.
