Announces Its Merger Partner, Aero Velocity, Has Entered into Strategic Partnership with AC Future to Develop Advanced Mobile Drone Launch Technologies for the U.S. Military<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"bwalignc\"><i>Collaboration Advances Next-Generation Mobile UAS Launch and Recovery Capabilities for Defense and Public-Sector Applications<\/i><\/p>\n<p>MINNETONKA, Minn.&#8211;(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.businesswire.com\">BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)&#8211;<br \/>\nBT Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBD) (\u201cBT Brands\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) today announced that its proposed merger partner, Aero Velocity Inc. (\u201cAero Velocity\u201d), has entered into a strategic partnership with AC Future, Inc. (\u201cAC Future\u201d) to jointly develop a Mobile Drone Launch Vehicle (\u201cMDLV\u201d) platform for U.S. military and public-sector applications.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe announcement was made in conjunction with TEVCON in San Diego, California. The partnership brings together Aero Velocity\u2019s expertise in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), ISR operations, and defense-focused drone technologies with AC Future\u2019s advanced mobility and smart platform engineering capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><b>Addressing a Critical Defense Need<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nModern military operations increasingly require rapidly deployable, flexible unmanned aerial capabilities in contested and infrastructure-limited environments. Existing drone launch systems are often fixed-site and resource-intensive, limiting operational agility.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe MDLV platform is designed to address these constraints by providing a fully mobile, self-contained drone launch, recovery, and command platform capable of operating in austere and communications-degraded environments.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe system is expected to support a range of mission profiles, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic warfare, logistics resupply, and defense and emergency response applications.<\/p>\n<p><b>Integrated Platform Development<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Under the partnership, Aero Velocity and AC Future intend to integrate their respective technologies into a unified system architecture. Planned capabilities include:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n&#8211; Ruggedized, all-terrain mobile vehicle platform with autonomous and remote operation capabilities<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8211; Multi-UAS launch, recovery, and onboard storage systems<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8211; Onboard power generation and management for sustained field operations<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8211; Secure command-and-control (C2) and communications systems designed for contested environments<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8211; Modular payload configurations supporting diverse mission requirements<\/p>\n<p>\nThe companies expect to pursue U.S. Department of War and other government funding opportunities, while also evaluating commercial and public safety use cases.<\/p>\n<p><b>Strategic Implications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe collaboration aligns with Aero Velocity\u2019s broader AeroShield Alliance strategy to deliver integrated air-to-ground solutions across defense and infrastructure markets. For AC Future, the partnership represents an expansion into defense and government applications of its advanced mobility platform technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe MDLV platform is expected to represent a new category of deployable drone infrastructure combining NDAA-compliant UAS systems with purpose-built mobile launch capability.<\/p>\n<p><b>About BT Brands, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBT Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBD) is a multi-brand restaurant operator and developer of emerging business platforms.
