Pilot order from a tier-one, government-owned defense integrator supports customer evaluation with a potential pathway to a follow-on program of up to 500 additional units

NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE:BURU), a next-generation dual-use Defense & Security integrated platform company, today announced the first pilot order for its 1W laser dazzler, an optical system designed for law enforcement, public security and protective missions. The purchase order comes from a tier-one, government-owned defense electronics and systems integrator in a major Asia-Pacific market (the "Customer") and opens a potential pathway to a follow-on program of up to 500 additional units. The Customer has not disclosed the pilot units' ultimate operational end use.

The announcement follows NUBURU's September 3, 2026 expansion of its Optical Systems Hub into law enforcement and public security across the United States and NATO markets. The pilot is the Customer's second commercial engagement with NUBURU, following the approximately $250,000 order for a higher-power 7W laser dazzler system announced on March 31, 2026, which identified the 1W configuration as a follow-on opportunity.
