xReality Group Limited (ASX:XRG) announced on 7 October 2026 that its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, Operator XR LLC, has secured its first contract with the United States Marine Corps. The order is also the first commercial sale of the OP-2 Interceptor.

About the Order

The order covers the OP-2 Interceptor, a training system for countering small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS). Delivery is scheduled for Q2 FY27.

XRG said the contract value is not material to the company but is strategically significant. CEO Wayne Jones said the order follows a sustained period of demonstrating and evaluating Interceptor with Marines across numerous units.

What the OP-2 Interceptor Does

OP-2 Interceptor is a virtual reality platform that lets single or multiple users practise counter-drone tactics. It uses simulated drone threats and realistic counter-drone weapons such as shotguns and AR-platform rifles.

The sale marks Operator XR's first entry into the counter-drone training market.

Strategic Significance

The Marine Corps joins Operator XR's existing customers, which include the U.S. Air Force, Space Force and Army National Guard. The company expects the order to serve as a reference for counter-drone training opportunities across the Department of Defense and allied forces.

XRG noted that Joint Interagency Task Force 401 was set up in August 2025 to speed up counter-drone capability, and that the Marine Corps introduced its first counter-small UAS training lanes at Twentynine Palms in July 2026.
