XTI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA), an aerospace and advanced technology platform and the parent company of Drone Nerds, LLC, said Dr. Alex Williams, its Executive Vice President of Technology, will represent the company at the Maxim Group Research Analysts Virtual Conference on June 25, 2026. The appearance puts the XTI Aerospace drone business in front of investors and analysts who are tracking the fast-changing market for unmanned systems and the wider effort to build more of that technology inside the United States.
Williams is scheduled to take part in a virtual panel titled “Domestic Drone Components and Market Structure” at 11:30 a.m. Central Time. He will share the stage with Oren Elkayam, chief executive officer of Mobilicom, and Allan Evans, chief executive officer of Unusual Machines. Together the three industry leaders plan to examine the evolving U.S. drone ecosystem, domestic manufacturing capabilities, supply chain resiliency, regulatory developments and the growing demand for secure, NDAA-compliant drone technologies. Each of those themes has moved toward the center of industry debate as buyers weigh where their hardware comes from and how secure it is.
XTI Aerospace Drone Business and Domestic Manufacturing Push
XTI Aerospace describes Drone Nerds as a leading drone solutions platform serving commercial, enterprise and government customers. The company provides unmanned aircraft systems solutions through its commercial drone solutions division, operated through Drone Nerds, along with two development-stage divisions focused on autonomous defense systems and the domestic manufacturing of unmanned systems components built to support federal procurement and sourcing requirements. That mix of distribution, defense development and component manufacturing lines up closely with the questions the June 25 panel intends to raise, which may help explain why the organizers invited an XTI representative to take a seat.
The commercial side of the XTI Aerospace drone operation supplies hardware distribution, training, service, repair and lifecycle support to enterprise, public safety and government customers. The company markets a range of unmanned systems platforms aimed at sectors such as agriculture, construction, energy, inspection and security. XTI Aerospace is headquartered in Addison, Texas, and has tied its near-term direction to domestic supply chains and secure, mission-ready technology. Those are the same priorities that regulators and government buyers have pushed toward the top of their lists as they review how unmanned systems are sourced and built.
“The domestic drone industry is at a pivotal moment as government agencies, enterprise customers and defense organizations increasingly prioritize secure, NDAA-compliant technologies and U.S.-based supply chains. XTI is both helping customers deploy secure, mission-critical solutions and working to expand domestic manufacturing and technology capabilities. Alex’s deep technical expertise and leadership in advancing these initiatives make him exceptionally well qualified to contribute to this discussion. We look forward to sharing our perspective on the opportunities shaping the future of the American drone ecosystem.” Scott Pomeroy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of XTI Aerospace
How to Watch the Maxim Group Drone Panel
The panel discussion will be available through Maxim Digital, and investors can register to access the live stream ahead of the June 25 session. The format gathers executives from three different companies working across the unmanned systems market, giving viewers a chance to compare how each leader reads the same set of pressures around manufacturing, sourcing and security. Scheduled topics include domestic production, the resiliency of supply chains and the regulatory environment that shapes where and how drones are built. The discussion is being held as part of the broader Maxim Group Research Analysts Virtual Conference, which connects company leaders with the research analysts and investors who follow them.
For XTI Aerospace, the session is a platform appearance rather than a product launch or a new contract, with Williams representing the XTI Aerospace drone strategy and the company’s technology leadership in a public setting. The conversation reflects a broader shift in the United States toward secure, NDAA-compliant hardware and locally sourced components, a trend that government agencies, enterprise customers and defense organizations have increasingly emphasized. By placing a senior technology executive on the panel, the company is signaling where it expects the American drone market to head and how it intends to take part in that growth.
