(OTC Pink: BURUD), a next-generation dual-use Defense &\nSecurity integrated platform company, today announced the expansion of its\ndirected-energy optical portfolio into law enforcement and public security\nthrough its wholly owned subsidiary, Lyocon S.r.l. (“Lyocon”). The\ninitiative extends NUBURU’s One Optical Systems Hub beyond the battlefield\nand into everyday protective operations – public order, checkpoints and\naccess control, tactical response and perimeter protection – with an initial\ngo-to-market focus on the United States and NATO-member countries.\n\nOne Optical Core. Two Protective Missions.\n\nAt the center of the public-security program is a Public-Security Dazzler\ndesigned to give trained operators a controlled, human-authorized optical\nresponse in the decisive gap where a verbal command has failed but kinetic\nforce is not proportionate. Handheld, weapon-mounted, and vehicle- and\nfixed-site configurations are in development to cover the full range of\noperational environments in which that gap occurs.\n\nBoth missions run on the same foundation: NUBURU’s One Optical Systems Hub,\na single photonics and optical-engineering core supporting public security and\ncounter-UAS optical denial. Each mission retains its own effects, operating\nparameters, safety envelopes, rules of engagement and validation pathway, but\nthey draw on shared beam-control engineering, shared targeting and\nrangefinding architecture, shared manufacturing and shared supply chain. One\nengineering investment, two addressable markets – and a cost structure that\nimproves as volume accrues across both.\n\nThe public-security architecture is built around operator accountability from\nthe outset: human-in-the-loop authorization, laser rangefinding,\ndistance-based output control, safety interlocks and tamper-evident engagement\nrecords. Around every fielded system, NUBURU intends to deliver integration,\ncalibration, software updates, operator training and lifecycle support – the\nservice layer that turns hardware placements into durable customer\nrelationships.\n\nCounter-UAS: The Same Core Against a Faster-Moving Threat\n\nNUBURU’s counter-UAS work applies that optical core to one of the most\nurgent unsolved problems in Western security: small uncrewed aircraft over\nairports, ports, energy and utility sites, correctional facilities, military\ninstallations, borders and mass-gathering venues. The operators responsible\nfor those sites face the same proportionality problem as the officer on the\nstreet. Kinetic interception is rarely available above a runway, a crowd or a\nrefinery, and jamming is constrained where spectrum is contested or legally\nrestricted.\n\nOptical denial addresses the aircraft’s ability to see rather than its\nability to fly – no fragmentation, no falling debris, no spectrum footprint.\nIt is a mission profile suited precisely to the populated and\ninfrastructure-dense environments where drone incursions are most\nconsequential and where existing counter-UAS answers are hardest to deploy.\nBecause both missions are built on the same hub, engineering progress,\nqualification learning and manufacturing scale earned in one program carry\ndirectly into the other, and a single customer relationship can span perimeter\nsecurity and airspace protection at the same site.\n\nA Large, Fragmented and Chronically Underserved Customer Universe\n\nThe scale of the opportunity is a matter of federal record. The 2024 National\nIncident-Based Reporting System eligibility frame included 19,328\nlaw-enforcement agencies, and the FBI’s 2025 employee collection reported\napproximately 752,000 full-time sworn officers in the United States alone.\nNATO comprises 32 member countries across Europe and North America. NUBURU is\ntargeting federal, state and local police, border-security services, military\npolice, special-response units and critical-infrastructure operators across\nthat footprint – many of which are also the natural first customers for\ncounter-UAS optical denial.\n\nMarket references: U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, Crime Known to Law\nEnforcement, 2024\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbjs.ojp.gov%2Fdocument%2Fckle24.pdf&esheet=54598180&newsitemid=20260903424921&lan=en-US&anchor=U.S.+Bureau+of+Justice+Statistics%2C+Crime+Known+to+Law+Enforcement%2C+2024&index=1&md5=690963c449e972fd33575366b7271fac)\n; FBI, Law Enforcement Employee Counts, 2025\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcde.ucr.cjis.gov%2FLATEST%2Fresources%2Freports%2FOfficers%2520Killed%2520and%2520Assaulted%2520in%2520the%2520Line%2520of%2520Duty%252C%25202025.pdf&esheet=54598180&newsitemid=20260903424921&lan=en-US&anchor=FBI%2C+Law+Enforcement+Employee+Counts%2C+2025&index=2&md5=cb8afe94d19493ff94dec53a6fcb5acd)\n; and NATO, Member Countries\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nato.int%2Fen%2Fwhat-is-nato&esheet=54598180&newsitemid=20260903424921&lan=en-US&anchor=NATO%2C+Member+Countries&index=3&md5=73c30cb1f38aee86a2a552716f7ba377)\n. These figures describe potential market reach and do not represent assumed\npenetration, revenue or financial guidance.\n\nA Pipeline Already in Motion\n\nThrough Lyocon, NUBURU is advancing an identified pipeline of prospective\nlaw-enforcement and protective-security opportunities in the United States and\nNATO-member countries, at varying stages of development and customer\nevaluation.\n\nTo accelerate industrialization and market access, NUBURU is in preliminary\ndiscussions and active outreach with established U.S. and European firearms,\nelectro-optics and defense-systems manufacturers regarding product integration\nand distribution. The objective is straightforward: pair NUBURU’s\noptical-systems engineering with partners who already hold the qualification\ncredentials, production capacity and channel relationships these agencies buy\nthrough.\n\n“Law-enforcement and public-security operators need tools that create time\nand distance when a verbal command has failed but kinetic force is not\nproportionate. That gap is where officers get hurt and where outcomes go\nwrong,” said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive\nOfficer of NUBURU. “The operator defending an airport or a power plant from\na drone faces the identical problem one level up, and we are answering both\nwith the same optical core. That is the logic of the One Optical Systems Hub\n– one engineering investment, two protective missions, each with its own\nauthorization, safety controls and validation pathway. With the right\nindustrial and distribution partners, we can move through qualification and\ninto the market across the United States and NATO-member countries far faster\nthan we could alone.”\n\nA Disciplined Path to Deployment\n\nNUBURU’s development pathway is structured around engineering validation,\nindependent laser-safety and human-factors testing, certification, legal and\nexport-control review, jurisdiction-specific use-of-force requirements and\ncustomer qualification. Performance, safety envelopes and operational\neffectiveness remain subject to completion of the applicable testing and\ncertification processes.\n\nAbout NUBURU, Inc.\n\nNUBURU, Inc. (OTC Pink: BURUD) is a next-generation dual-use Defense &\nSecurity integrated platform company developing software-orchestrated,\nhardware-enabled capabilities for defense and security, critical\ninfrastructure and digital-resilience markets. Its strategy includes\ndirected-energy and non-kinetic effects, EW/CEMA, defense mobility,\noperational-resilience software and advanced deployable manufacturing.\n\nFollowing the temporary 20-business-day post-split period, the Company’s\ncommon stock is expected to resume trading on the OTC Pink Market under the\nsymbol “BURUD.” For more information, visit\nhttps://ir.nuburu.net/corporate-profile/default.aspx\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fir.nuburu.net%2Fcorporate-profile%2Fdefault.aspx&esheet=54598180&newsitemid=20260903424921&lan=en-US&anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fir.nuburu.net%2Fcorporate-profile%2Fdefault.aspx&index=4&md5=90f185c923c5e39f15ddcbbb49b5e3e4)\n.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of\nthe Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
