MANITOWOC, Wis., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: OESX) (Orion Lighting), a provider of energy-efficient LED lighting, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and maintenance services solutions, today announced that a longtime customer has made a follow-on commitment to the Company for a new LED lighting project estimated to represent revenue of $10 million to $15 million. The new project is at additional locations operated by this retailer.

This latest commitment involves retrofitting interior LED Lighting and IoT system installations at selected locations not previously retrofitted by Orion. Orion maintains that this most recent expansion of work demonstrates the confidence that Orion has earned with this leading retailer over the course of numerous projects spanning several years.

The customer’s latest commitment is expected to be fulfilled on the basis of individual purchase orders, the timing of which is not certain at this time. However, Orion expects to recognize a significant majority of the revenue from this project in the second half of the current Fiscal Year 2027, which ends March 31, 2027.

As a result of today’s announcement, Orion also announced that it expects to achieve total revenue of $100 million to $102 million for FY 2027, representing an increase from its previous outlook of $95 million to $97 million. As previously announced, Orion expects FY’Q2 revenues to decrease compared to the recently announced FY’Q1 revenue of $25.7M. The Company continues to expect to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year as a whole.

“Orion has once again earned a significant increase in its scope of work on behalf of one of the biggest names in retailing,” said Orion Chief Executive Officer Sally Washlow. “Orion continues to add substantially to its workflow with this Global Fortune 50 company, as we expand our management of LED Lighting, IoT, Maintenance and Electrical Contracting.

The cooperation brings together the companies’ detection, threat analysis and physical interception capabilities into a unified and complete Counter-UAS architecture

KFAR SABA, Israel, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (“ParaZero” or the “Company”), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, today announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with ThirdEye Systems Ltd. (TASE: THES), an Israeli defense technology company specializing in advanced electro-optical recognition and Counter-UAS systems.

The non-binding MOU establishes a framework for the companies to explore the development, integration, and commercialization of a complete Counter-UAS solution combining ThirdEye’s advanced detection and sensor capabilities with ParaZero’s DefendAir net-based physical interception technology , which shall be subject to the execution of definitive documentation..

The cooperation includes the creation of a complete integrated detect-to-defeat architecture covering the full Counter-UAS engagement cycle — from detection and identification of an approaching aerial threat, through threat analysis and engagement management, to controlled physical interception and neutralization. the companies will initially focus on protecting armored vehicle platforms from the rapidly evolving drone threats and may also explore applications for critical infrastructure, strategic sites, and other sensitive assets requiring an integrated detection-to-interception capability.

The already field-tested architecture is intended to connect detection, threat analysis, engagement management, safety, and controlled physical interception within a unified Counter-UAS system. This approach reflects the growing operational requirement for solutions capable of supporting the full engagement cycle, from identifying an approaching drone to physically stopping it.

“Protecting armored vehicles and strategic assets from evolving drone threats requires detection, decision-making, and interception capabilities to operate as one integrated system,” said Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero Technologies. “ThirdEye brings advanced electro-optical detection and AI-driven recognition capabilities, while ParaZero provides the physical interception layer through DefendAir. This MOU creates a framework to combine theses technologies into a practical and complete Counter-UAS architecture.”

Lior Segal, CEO of ThirdEye Systems, added:

“Our collaboration with ParaZero represents a significant force multiplier for both our company and our operational customers. The ability to provide field forces with a comprehensive protection solution, from the initial detection of a threat through to its actual interception, is critical, particularly for armoured vehicles and sensitive assets. We are confident that the combined system will deliver significant value to defence markets in Israel and around the world.”
