Mobilicom is one of only four companies to be exempted from import restrictions under the Covered List and the only company to have multiple products exempted

Mobilicom is expanding its production capacity and expects to manufacture its cybersecure mission-critical systems in the U.S. by the end of 2026

Palo Alto, California, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobilicom Limited (NASDAQ:MOB, MOBBW), MOBBW) ("Mobilicom" or the "Company"), a provider of cybersecurity and robust solutions for drones and robotics, today announced that its cybersecurity, hardware, and software solutions have been included in the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) first batch of "Trusted Drones" as determined by the U.S. Department of War (DoW).

This designation is an exemption for Mobilicom's product portfolio from the DoW's Covered List restrictions, which prohibit the import and sale of certain foreign-made drones and critical components into the U.S. through the end of 2026. Mobilicom is one of only a limited number of companies—just four in this initial batch—granted such an exemption, underscoring the importance of its technologies to U.S. defense and national security programs.

The exemption applies across nearly all of Mobilicom's full suite of offerings, including the SkyHopper product family, Mobile Ground Control Stations, OS3 Cybersecurity software and ICE electronic warfare protection & datalink cybersecurity software, and additional next-generation solutions. This broad recognition reflects Mobilicom's position as a comprehensive, end-to-end provider of secure drone and robotics technologies.

Mobilicom believes that its selection reflects several key factors, including the prior inclusion of its SkyHopper product family solutions in the DoW's Blue UAS Select Framework following rigorous testing, validation, TrustedCyber and NDAA compliance. The Company's SkyHopper family is a core communications component embedded in drones manufactured by prominent U.S. drone manufacturers, including systems deployed in DoW Programs. In addition, the waiver is typically reserved for providers of "UAS critical components" highlighting the importance of Mobilicom's integrated hardware, software, cybersecurity, and electronic warfare protection solutions to U.S. unmanned systems infrastructure.
