The Management Board of MBF Group S.A., with its registered office in
Warsaw _the "Issuer", the "Company"_, hereby announces that on 5 August
2026, the Issuer and Shark Havaclk Danmanlk ve D Ticaret Limited
irketi, with its registered office in Konya, Republic of Turkey _"Shark
Aviation", "Technology Partner"_, signed and adopted the final technical
report concerning the first stage of verification of the IRYDA+ X1
unmanned system, carried out on 19 July 2026 at the test site _"Report"_.
The document, entitled "IRYDA+ X1 Phase I Technical Verification
Demonstration Official Report", marks the official conclusion of the
technical verification stage of the project, referred to as Phase I
_"Faza I"_. The Report was prepared by Shark Aviation, the company
responsible for the technological and engineering aspects of the system,
and accepted by the Issuer as a record of the demonstration observed on
site by representatives of MBF Group S.A.
The aim of Phase I was to verify, in a real-world flight environment,
the platform's basic characteristics, autonomous mission planning and
execution, the implementation of a long-range profile and a terminal
mission profile, the telemetry and communications infrastructure, and
the capability to manage more than one platform simultaneously.
A total of five IRYDA+ X1 prototype drones were used in the
demonstration. Each was prepared to carry out a specific technical
scenario:
a_ one platform carried out an autonomous mission profile covering a
distance of approximately 24 km;
b_ two platforms carried out separate autonomous single-aircraft
missions;
c_ two further platforms took part in a simultaneous, coordinated
operation managed by a single operator using a single ground control
station.
All five platforms successfully completed their assigned scenarios, and
the basic technical objectives set for Phase I were achieved.
According to the final report, the following were confirmed in
particular during the demonstration:
a_ the autonomous execution of pre-programmed mission plans;
b_ navigation and task execution using waypoints;
c_ the full execution of planned waypoints;
d_ the autonomous continuation of the mission beyond the active range of
telemetry;
e_ execution of the terminal mission profile without the need for manual
control of the platform;
f_ simultaneous execution of two independent missions by two platforms;
g_ management of two platforms by a single operator using a single
ground control station;
h_ stable operation of the basic architecture for flight control,
mission planning, communications and ground control.
The following parameters were achieved in the demonstrated mission
profile:
a_ length of the mission profile completed - approximately 24 km;
b_ flight time - approximately 18 minutes;
c_ cruising speed - approximately 99 km/h;
d_ maximum recorded speed - 146 km/h;
e_ cruising altitude - approximately 60-200 m above ground level;
f_ altitude reached prior to executing the terminal mission profile -
approximately 600 m above ground level;
g_ active control and telemetry range - approximately 2 km;
h_ completion of planned waypoints - 100 per cent.
The Issuer's Management Board hereby announces that the Report also
confirms that, upon moving beyond the active communication range, the
platform did not interrupt the mission but autonomously continued the
pre-programmed mission plan. Manual flight control was not required
during the scenarios carried out.
During the operation, the two platforms simultaneously carried out their
own independent mission plans. Coordination was achieved through mission
planning, the ground control station and the actions of a single
operator. The demonstration did not involve direct data exchange between
the platforms; therefore, the result achieved was classified as a
coordinated multi-platform operation.
The technical results were assessed on the basis of flight logs,
telemetry records, mission files, GNSS/GPS data, ground control station
records, field observations, and photographic and video documentation.
The source materials have been archived by Shark Aviation and may be
made available to the extent necessary for an authorised technical
review. The report indicates that, during the execution of the planned
missions, the system's basic architecture operated stably, and no
critical failures or technical non-conformities were identified in the
components affecting the success of the missions.
The company's management notes that the timely and successful completion
of the so-called Phase I paves the way for the presentation of the
IRYDA+ X1 system at the 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition
_MSPO 2026_ in Kielce. The presentation is scheduled for 8 September
2026, on the first day of the event, as part of the National Scientific
Conference dedicated to dual-use technologies, strengthening national
defence and economic development. The Issuer and the Technology Partner
are making organisational preparations for their participation in MSPO,
including the configuration of reference systems, technical and
exhibition materials, and the organisation of their transport to Poland.
The presentation is intended to serve as a basis for discussions with
representatives of the armed forces, potential users, system
integrators, industrial enterprises and institutions interested in
further demonstrations and the development of the system.
The Issuer's Management Board regards the successful completion of all
planned Phase I scenarios, the achievement of the parameters specified
in the report, and the formal documentation of the results as a
significant milestone in the development of the IRYDA+ X1 drone. This
event confirms the project's transition from the conceptual and
preparatory phase to the phase of verified technical demonstrations, and
lays the foundation for further development, presentation and
commercialisation work.
The Management Board of MBF Group S.A. has classified the above event as
confidential information due to the significance of the IRYDA+ X1
project for the Issuer's development strategy in the unmanned, defence
and dual-use technology sectors, the successful completion of the
technical verification, the achievement of key system parameters, and
the project's transition to preparations for Phase II and its
presentation on the Polish and European markets.
