Why Did GXAI Stock Surge Over 50% Today?

• Under the licensing agreement, America First Defense will further develop and commercialize the technology. 
• America First Defense products include counter-drone systems and a biomimetic soft robotics platform.
• Last month, Gaxos.ai partnered with ByteDance’s unit to gain preferred pricing and early access to BytePlus’ advanced video generation models.

Shares of Gaxos.ai (GXAI) surged more than 50% on Thursday after the company said America First Defense, in which it holds a 20% stake, secured a license for the Detachable Drone Highjacker, a drone-mounted electronic warfare system designed to counter hostile drones.

The Detachable Drone Highjacker operates by attaching to a friendly drone to target and neutralize enemy unmanned aircraft systems through cyber operations rather than traditional signal jamming.

Under the licensing agreement, America First Defense plans to further develop and commercialize the technology for defense, security, and critical infrastructure protection applications.

America First Defense is a technology company developing next-generation security platforms for both air and ground operations. Its products include a counter-drone system that can disable hostile UAVs through targeted cyberattacks without widespread jamming, and a biomimetic soft robotics platform for low-detection ground and subsurface missions.
