U.S.-based Powerus has executed an approximately $22.3 million commercial contract to deploy networked counter-unmanned aircraft system capabilities for protecting critical oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East. The agreement covers hardware, software, site activation, installation and a 24-month integrated maintenance program. Powerus will phase the deployment according to the customer’s operational requirements, with unified command and control at the customer’s operations center. The system is intended to give operators an integrated view of potential unmanned aerial threats and may later support Powerus’ Guardian interceptor technology. The customer, deployment locations and facility configurations were not disclosed. Separately, the registration statement on Form S-4 for Powerus’ proposed business combination with Aureus Greenway Holdings Inc. was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 12, 2026. The parties expect to complete the combination in early October 2026, subject to remaining closing conditions.
