Critical Infrastructure Technologies Partners with U.S. Advisory Firm to Expand Defense Market Presence

Critical Infrastructure Technologies Ltd. has executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement with Pathfinder Ventures Inc., a U.S.-based strategic advisory firm specializing in defense, government, and advanced technology programs. This agreement establishes the foundation for exploring strategic collaboration in U.S. and allied defense markets, representing a significant step in CiTech's North American expansion strategy.

The partnership will focus on U.S. Government engagement, defense contracting, and technology integration opportunities for CiTech's Nexus 20 Rapid Deployment Radio Base Station. Pathfinder Ventures will leverage its extensive network across defense, intelligence, and technology sectors to support CiTech's market entry and partnership development. The NDA enables the exchange of confidential technical, strategic, and commercial information between the companies, facilitating deeper collaboration on government engagement and commercialization efforts.

Brenton Scott, CEO of CiTech, emphasized the strategic importance of this development, stating that Pathfinder Ventures brings exceptional experience in U.S. defense engagement. The collaboration aims to position CiTech's Nexus 20 system as a transformative communications and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capability for U.S. and allied forces. This alignment supports CiTech's objective to expand across NATO and Five Eyes nations while enhancing sovereign defense initiatives and coalition interoperability.

Jason Kirby, President of Pathfinder Ventures, brings senior leadership experience as former commander of U.S. Air Force Special Operations in the Indo-Pacific region. Kirby expressed excitement about partnering with CiTech to bring world-class Australian technology to the U.S. market, noting that the Nexus 20 system addresses critical needs in deployable communications, ISR, and counter-unmanned aircraft system infrastructure. The technology covers key priorities across U.S. and allied defense sectors with unique technological advantages.

The agreement marks the first step toward a broader business development and advisory partnership between the companies. Subsequent actions include an operational assessment for establishing domestic manufacturing and assembly at strategic locations within the United States. This domestic manufacturing capability could enhance supply chain resilience and support U.S. defense priorities for sovereign production capacity. The collaboration aligns with growing demand for rapidly deployable communications infrastructure in defense, homeland security, and emergency services sectors, where reliable mobile communications are essential for mission-critical operations.
