archTIS Limited (ASX:AR9, OTCQB:ARHLF) has secured a contract to provide services to Copper River Technologies on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD). The contract, valued at A$250,000, will see archTIS provide services for its NC Protect product, specifically to develop new features requested by the U.S. DoD for additional functionality and deeper integration with existing Defense classification and Microsoft tools in a highly classified security environment. On completion of this contract work, the Company will be looking to enter into a large licensing deal for its NC Protect product and continued support for the expected additional licensing sales. The engagement is being procured and managed through Copper River Technologies, a U.S.-based federal contract holder and reseller of archTIS' products. The new features address mission-specific requirements essential for enterprise rollout. While modest in immediate financial value, this contract represents a critical operational bridge between the initial license issuance and a broader enterprise award. It enables continuous collaboration, accelerates product enhancements demanded by the DoD, and positions archTIS for the broader multi-phase adoption expected to scale from thousands to potentially hundreds of thousands of users over the coming period.

The contract is valued at A$250,000 and must be completed by 16 January 2026.

This contract represents a critical step towards a larger licensing deal with the U.S. DoD for the Company's NC Protect product, which is expected to scale from thousands to potentially hundreds of thousands of users over the coming period.
