T3 Defense Inc (Nasdaq: DFNS) is a defense technology holding company that acquires and integrates Israeli defense businesses. The company generates revenue through its subsidiaries across simulation and geospatial software, drone and unmanned systems, and precision motion control hardware sold to defense and homeland security customers. T3 Defense completed a full business model transformation from financial technology, divesting its Digital RFQ business and acquiring four Israeli defense companies, Star 26, Tiltan, Nimbus, and ITS, with the Star 26 acquisition closing on January 12, 2026. The company, formerly Nukkleus Inc., is led by a board that includes CEO Menachem Shalom alongside independent directors David Rokach, Tomer Nagar, and Reuven Yeganeh. By its own disclosure in the 10-K filed April 9, 2026, the company has never held a government contract, never managed a defense program, and has no established relationships with prime defense contractors, making its transformation strategy entirely unproven as of the filing date.

Revenue is generated through subsidiary operations: Tiltan sells simulation, geospatial, and operational software to defense and homeland security customers; Positech manufactures direct-drive motors and gearless motion control systems for defense subsystems.
