Rocket One agrees to acquire Tracer Drone Technologies

The definitive agreement, signed September 18, 2026, would give Rocket One full ownership of the New Jersey drone services provider.

Rocket One Inc. (Nasdaq: RKTO) announced on September 22, 2026 that it has entered into a definitive Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Tracer Drone Technologies, LLC, a New Jersey-based provider of drone hardware, software, training, maintenance and managed services.1

Under the agreement, Rocket One will acquire 100% of Tracer, with the transaction subject to customary closing conditions, and Tracer is expected to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket One upon closing.1 The definitive agreement was executed on September 18, 2026.1

Tracer's business covers a range of drone-related services. The company offers a broad portfolio of drone solutions for organizations seeking to launch or expand unmanned aircraft programs, including drone hardware and accessories, NDAA-compliant and Blue List options, thermal systems, drone detection, first-responder solutions, FAA Part 107 training, software, repair and maintenance, and managed services such as 3D mapping, LiDAR, and gas analysis.1

Rocket One CEO Robb Knie described the deal's intent, saying "We expect the acquisition of Tracer to give Rocket One a revenue-generating foundation in the drone market, with established sales, service, training and customer-support capabilities."1

Rocket One describes itself as a publicly traded technology company building a portfolio across artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced semiconductor technologies, space and defense systems, and autonomous platforms, and it is advancing licensed spintronic and nanomagnetic computing technologies for AI acceleration and radiation-tolerant computing, together with Swarm Stage AI, a drone-swarm threat-emulation and counter-UAS training platform.1

Closing will occur after satisfaction or waiver of the agreement's conditions, including delivery of required transaction documents, and additional details will appear in future SEC filings as applicable.1
