The expanded cooperation is aimed at addressing the growing security challenges posed by drones, the protection of critical infrastructure, and public safety within the EU.

Netanya, Israel, November 9, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Tessera Defense and Homeland Security Inc. ( NYSE American : HLSQ, referred to as " Tessera " or "the Company") announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Zorronet Ltd. (" Zorronet ") has expanded its strategic cooperation with D4P group s.r.o. ( D4P ). D4P is a subsidiary of Samura s.r.o. (" Samura "), which is a Czech company focused on distributing, implementing, and commercializing advanced technologies in Central and Eastern Europe.

This expanded cooperation extends the business of both parties from the agricultural and transportation sectors to the protection of national security and critical infrastructure across the entire European Union, with a focus on addressing the threats posed by drones ( UAV ).

The company stated that as European governments increasingly focus on protecting critical infrastructure from emerging physical, cyber, and hybrid threats, this expansion of cooperation comes at an opportune time. In July 2026, the European Commission issued new guidelines on the resilience of critical infrastructure, emphasizing prevention, physical protection, and coordinated response. The EU's "Critical Entities Resilience Directive" also establishes a framework to enhance resilience in key sectors such as energy and transportation.

Security issues related to drones are becoming an increasingly important consideration for governments and infrastructure operators in Europe. Military facilities, airports, energy facilities, and other sensitive locations are facing growing challenges from unauthorized drone activities. Addressing these threats requires integrated detection technologies, real-time situational awareness, and coordinated response capabilities.

At the same time, transportation and railway safety are another important potential area of application. According to data from the EU's railway safety regulatory agency, there were approximately 1,500 major railway accidents in 2024, resulting in 750 deaths and 548 serious injuries. The latest figures estimate that the cost incurred by railway accidents within the EU is around 3.5 billion euros.

The company stated that these developments reflect a broader transformation in the industry: from fragmented, passive security systems to integrated, intelligent-driven operational models.

This expansion is built upon the foundation of the initial cooperation between the two parties. That cooperation was announced in July 2026 and initially focused on agricultural pest management using AI technology, as well as protecting transportation infrastructure from wildlife and unauthorized intruders. Since then, D4P has received preliminary interest from Czech airports, national power utility companies, and operators of strategic facilities, which are seeking AI-driven detection and response solutions for large, distributed areas.

According to the expanded cooperation arrangement, Zorronet will provide its operational intelligence solutions based on AI. This solution utilizes AI, machine learning, and visual language models to integrate data from cameras, radar, and other sensors, reducing false alarms and automating responses. The company states that this solution is aimed at helping operators transform information within their existing security infrastructure into actionable intelligence without the need to replace the entire system. D4P will be responsible for business expansion, sales, and customer engagement in the relevant regions, as well as providing local implementation and support.

Based on the cooperation experience with Israeli Railways using Zorronet, both parties are exploring opportunities to enhance railway safety through AI-powered hazard detection and real-time alerts. Potential applications also include station security, early threat detection, and coordinated incident response. The company states that the scale of the railway networks in Czech Republic and Slovakia alone is approximately six times that of Israel's railway network, which demonstrates that Zorronet has the capability to successfully expand its solutions.

D4P has also identified potential opportunities for collaboration with police and fire departments in the region. The company states that the platform of Zorronet can provide a unified real-time overview for command centers, enabling early detection of fires, intrusions, and other incidents, and helping to dispatch the appropriate units more quickly.

Tessera CEO Michael Oster stated: "Europe is placing greater emphasis on the resilience of critical infrastructure, and the security industry is also shifting towards systems that can detect issues not only after they occur. This expanded collaboration with D4P aligns Zorronet's entity security capabilities, driven by AI, with these priorities. At the same time, leveraging D4P's local market expertise and network of relationships, we can introduce our technology to organizations across the EU. We see an opportunity to help operators move towards smarter, more interconnected, and more proactive security systems."

Zorronet CEO Idan Wasserman stated: "The threat environment faced by critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex, and drones introduce new risks that traditional security systems were not designed to address. Whether it's protecting military bases, railway networks, or power plants, operators need to detect potential aerial threats early on, distinguish between real risks and false alarms, and coordinate effective responses. Our deployment with the Israeli railways has demonstrated the value of integrated, AI-driven security solutions, and we look forward to expanding these capabilities to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other EU markets."

D4P group s.r.o. The CEO, Yaron Keren, stated: "Security requirements are changing rapidly, especially against the backdrop of increasing attention to the protection of drones and strategic infrastructure. In our interactions with the Czech market, we have clearly seen a demand for solutions that do not require replacing existing security systems, but rather connect them and enhance their effectiveness. We believe this is where Zorronet truly adds value: advanced technologies that can be integrated into existing infrastructure, with practical application scenarios and reasonable implementation costs. We see significant potential in the fields of national defense, critical infrastructure, public safety, and transportation."
