SAN DIEGO, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is developing the addition of long-range standoff weapons to its top-of-the-line MQ-9B SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian®.Demand continues from naval and air warfighters for platforms that can hold targets at risk from great ranges, especially over the expanses of air and water in the Western Pacific. That's why GA-ASI engineers have begun the work of adapting MQ-9B's payload, stability, range and other features to accommodate the new generation of extended-range precision weapons."MQ-9B continues to impress in the field and we keep adding to our global customer list," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "We want to continue to build value in the aircraft by expanding into more missions. MQ-9B features extraordinary payload capacity, so it only makes sense to add to our mission sets with the ability to carry long-range weapons."So far, GA-ASI has performed all the performance analytics and is confident in MQ-9B's ability to carry long-range weapons over long distances, while providing a measure of persistence and endurance. Company engineers and others continue to refine the technical aspects of this integration and potential concepts of operation, eyeing weapons such as the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile andLong-Range Anti-Ship Missile, as well as the Kongsberg/Raytheon Joint Strike Missile.GA-ASI plans to fly at least one of these new weapons as early as 2026.Hypothetically, a mission profile might look like this: MQ-9Bs could launch from a number of friendly bases in the Western or Southern Pacific, fly to a hold point and loiter there outside a hostile power's weapons engagement zone. If the order came to release the weapons, the aircraft could launch them in coordination with other U.S. or allied operations.In addition to the SkyGuardian and SeaGuardian models, MQ-9B also includes the Protector RG Mk1 that is currently being delivered to the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force (RAF). GA-ASI also has MQ-9B procurement contracts with Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, Taiwan and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command.

SAN DIEGO, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is giving its U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft a new name: YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.Dark merlins, deadly falcons known for their black feathers and devouring of other falcons as prey, often collaborate in groups for maximum effect against their targets. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes the merlin as a "small, fierce falcon that uses surprise attacks" to bring down its prey in flight. The dark merlin is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, often migrating into southern California, where bird spotters routinely report seeing them near the YFQ-42A's manufacturing home in San Diego.The 1962 book "Profiles of the Future" imagined global technological marvels yet to change the world, offering that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It's no coincidence that the Dark Merlin name also reflects the wizardry of Merlin from Arthurian legend, paying homage to the somewhat supernatural new era of semi-autonomous air combat."Dark merlins are hunting machines, built for speed and aerodynamics," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "They harass other falcons for fun, and they eat what they kill. The name sums up our new uncrewed fighter perfectly."The U.S. Air Force official prefix "Y" denotes that the initial few aircraft are early, production-representative test models, while "F" denotes fighter and "Q" denotes uncrewed aircraft. When aircraft enter production, they drop the "Y" - for example, the YF-16 became the F-16 with the nickname "Fighting Falcon" - and GA-ASI expects its new CCA to become the FQ-42A with the nickname "Dark Merlin."The Dark Merlin has been stacking up milestones and achievements since GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. In August 2025, YFQ-42A delivered the U.S. Air Force its first successful CCA flight and followed that this month with the service's first CCA flight using mission autonomy software. Between those milestones, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple Dark Merlins, conducting push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings and other accomplishments as the test program continues.YFQ-42A Dark Merlin is a purpose-built CCA platform developed as part of GA-ASI's ongoing investment in next-generation autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft's modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems. GA-ASI's autonomy architecture, demonstrated through multiple live flight tests, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, offers a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

BOSTON, MA, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Bioxytran, Inc. (OTCQB: BIXT), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing breakthrough antiviral treatments, today announced it has initiated a research collaboration with the University of Georgia (UGA) as part of a $100M grant to explore the efficacy of its lead drug candidate in blocking the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus, commonly known as bird flu.The collaboration follows a previously announced Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed in March 2025 and formalizes the framework for evaluating Bioxytran’s novel galectin antagonist as a potential therapeutic for infected poultry . The research is being led by Dr. Daniela Rajao DVM, MS, PhD, a renowned expert in virology and poultry medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Population Health at UGA .Bioxytran’s drug candidate, PHM23, utilizes a novel mechanism of action that targets galectin proteins critical to viral replication. By blocking viral spike proteins from attaching to host cells, the therapy aims to neutralize the virus and halt its spread . In vitro studies have already demonstrated the molecule's effectiveness against viruses similar to H5N1, providing a strong foundation for this new research ."The initiation of this research with the University of Georgia, a world leader in poultry health, marks a significant milestone for Bioxytran," said David Platt, CEO of Bioxytran, Inc. "The ongoing H5N1 outbreaks present a urgent threat to the global food supply and economy, requiring immediate mass culling that results in billions of dollars in losses. We believe our galectin antagonist technology offers a promising path forward—not just for containment, but for a humane and sustainable solution to protect animal health."The potential of this research has already garnered significant academic recognition. Following the establishment of the collaboration, UGA selected PHM23 as one of a handful of molecules to be featured in its grant submission to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) prestigious $100 million HPAI Poultry Innovation Grand Challenge . This inclusion underscores the scientific promise of Bioxytran’s platform in addressing one of agriculture's most pressing challenges.Current protocols for managing bird flu outbreaks often necessitate the culling of entire flocks to prevent the virus's spread. Bioxytran’s approach could offer a more effective alternative, enable rapid containment of the virus and mitigate the devastating economic impact on farmers and consumers .Bioxytran is actively seeking further partnerships with academic, industry, and government stakeholders to accelerate the development and deployment of PHM23 in response to this urgent global need .About Bioxytran, Inc.

HONG KONG, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (0697 HK) accelerated its consumer robotics strategy ahead of the Lunar New Year, opening three Taozhu New Creation Hub stores in Beijing as it scales its offline commercialization network.The new locations — at Rongshi Plaza Phase II, Shougang Park, Beijing APM in Wangfujing, and Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 2 (T2) — establish coverage across three high-traffic scenarios: cultural landmark redevelopment, core commercial district and major transportation hub.Management positions the rollout as a transition from pilot-stage deployment to scaled consumer penetration, structured around a closed-loop model integrating experience, sales, service and industrial empowerment.Flagship Upgrade at Shougang ParkThe Phase II exhibition hall at Rongshi Plaza serves as the upgraded flagship location.Situated near Jin’anqiao Station (Beijing Subway Line 6) and Beixin’an Station (Line 11), the store spans more than 400 square meters. It adopts a “front store, back workshop” format, adding a robotics maintenance facility co-developed with Accelerated Evolution.The front-of-house focuses on immersive product experience and high-end sales. The back-end workshop provides standardized maintenance services, addressing a gap in China’s offline robotics service infrastructure.During its National Day launch window, the store recorded average daily foot traffic exceeding 12,000 visitors in the first eight days. First-month cumulative traffic surpassed 900,000 visitors. The site also captured spillover demand from the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), lifting overall traffic at Rongshi Plaza.Wangfujing: Targeting the 18–35 Urban DemographicThe Beijing APM store is located in Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, one of Beijing’s highest-traffic retail corridors. The mall is operated by Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd.The store targets consumers aged 18–35, emphasizing “trendy technology” and first-release products. The product mix focuses on lightweight, design-forward smart devices, including transformable robots, smart earphones and portable speakers.Opening-day traffic exceeded 11,000 visitors. Cumulative traffic has surpassed 60,000, with daily averages above 8,000 visitors. More than 70% of visitors fall within the younger demographic bracket.Airport T2: Travel Retail PositioningThe Terminal 2 store at Beijing Capital International Airport spans approximately 100 square meters and is located near duty-free retail clusters.Terminal 2 handles about 35 million passengers annually. The product assortment is structured around short airport decision cycles — described as a 40-minute pre-boarding window.Featured products include compact companion robots, translation devices from iFLYTEK Co., Ltd., and portable smart charging products.Average daily traffic exceeds 2,200 visitors, with international travelers accounting for roughly 18% of footfall. Interactive robot displays have driven organic social-media exposure and expanded brand visibility beyond Beijing.Spring Festival Gala Exposure Converts to Store TrafficAt the 2026 China Media Group (CMG) Spring Festival Gala, humanoid robot performances became one of the event’s most discussed technology segments.Three robotics companies invested in by Shoucheng — Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, and Galbot (Beijing Galbot Co., Ltd.) — appeared in featured programs.In the segment WuBOT, Unitree Robotics deployed a humanoid formation performing synchronized martial arts routines.

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has emerged as a core target for post-holiday capital market positioning due to a series of heavy-hitting moves. These include the operational launch of the Taozhu New Creation Hub - a comprehensive robotics technology experience, sales, maintenance, and service center—followed by the dual boost of Spring Festival Gala exposure and New Year's Eve livestreaming conversions. Coupled with the positive signal of continuous recent share buybacks, the company’s solid industrial layout and clear earnings growth are expected to trigger a formal valuation recovery.By establishing a closed-loop of "Offline Landing + Strategic Investment + Traffic Conversion + Buyback Support," Shoucheng Holdings has not only demonstrated its deep layout in the robotics track but has also provided the capital market with a high-certainty investment logic through concrete industrial actions and capital behavior. The window for valuation recovery has officially opened.I. Grand Opening of the Offline Complex: Solidifying the Foundation for MonetizationAs the traffic dividends from the Spring Festival Gala and livestreaming were released, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched Taozhu New Creation Hub, its flagship robotics technology retail brand. This complex captures the core of the offline smart consumption track and injects deterministic growth into Shoucheng’s performance. It serves as a solid physical carrier to convert gala traffic and livestreaming orders, marking a new stage in Shoucheng’s full-chain service layout for offline robotics commercial scenarios.Integrated Ecosystem: The Hub constructs an "Experience + Sales + After-sales + Investment" full-model ecosystem."Store-Factory" Innovation: Utilizing an innovative "front-store, back-factory" layout, it includes a robotics maintenance and repair workshop created in collaboration with Accelerated Evolution to provide one-stop services.Market Validation: With an exhibition area exceeding 400 square meters, the Hub serves as a core scenario for investee companies to implement technology and validate market demand.Strategic Store Matrix:Wangfujing APM Store: Located in a premier trendy commercial district, focusing on "Trend Tech + First-Store Economy," targeting consumers aged 18–35.Capital Airport T2 Store: Situated in a core transportation hub with 35 million annual passengers, targeting the "40-minute pre-boarding decision" window with portable and practical smart products.This layout is a key execution of Shoucheng’s "Capital + Scenario + Ecosystem" strategy. By capturing consumer demand through digital means, it provides investee companies with valuable data for product iteration, forming a virtuous cycle of "Industry + Consumption + Maintenance".II. Dominance of the Gala Trio: National-Level Endorsement of Ecosystem StrengthThe Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala featured a humanoid robot cluster performance as its most high-tech highlight. Among the four core robotics companies featured, three - Unitree Robotics, NOETIX Robotics, and Galbot - are Shoucheng Holdings' portfolio companies. This dominant presence provides national-level brand endorsement for the offline scenarios.The three portfolio companies demonstrated world-class capabilities across core tracks:Unitree Robotics: Deployed a 16-robot formation in the program "Wu BOT," performing high-difficulty martial arts. It achieved world-firsts in continuous parkour flips and rapid maneuvers (up to 4m/s) using self-developed dexterous hands.NOETIX Robotics: Earned the title of "Exclusive Bionic Humanoid Robot Partner" for the gala. Its "Xiaowantong N2" and "Xiaobumi" consumer products displayed lifelike facial expressions and synchronized breathing movements, signaling the acceleration of robots entering the home.Galbot: Debuted as the "Designated Embodied AI Model Robot". Its robot, "Xiao Gai," autonomously performed real-time tasks—such as picking up glass shards and folding clothes—driven by its "AstraBrain" Embodied AI model.This collective appearance is a result of Shoucheng's long-term deep layout, building a complete investment matrix across core components, whole units, and "intelligent brains".III. New Year's Eve Live-streaming: Immediate Traffic MonetizationOn the night of the Gala, Shoucheng Holdings launched the "PoBiren (Barrier-Breaker) Initiative" Live-streaming event, becoming the only industrial investor in the sector to achieve immediate traffic conversion. This successfully closed the loop of "Offline Landing - Stage Exposure - Online Traffic - Order Conversion".Solving Pain Points: The livestream addressed the "unreachable" nature of online consumption through product demonstrations and professional technical interpretations.Seamless Integration: It linked online orders to the Taozhu New Creation Hub for offline delivery and maintenance.Professional Branding: By sharing industry trends from an investor's perspective, Shoucheng deepened consumer trust and solidified its leadership in hard tech investment.ConclusionShoucheng Holdings has achieved a triple breakthrough in national exposure, immediate traffic conversion, and offline operations. Under the resonance of these multiple benefits and continued buybacks, the logic for both valuation and performance enhancement is further strengthened, allowing Shoucheng to lead the hard tech investment track and provide long-term stable returns to investors.

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala concluded with a spectacular display that served as a global collective debut for China’s robotics industry. On a stage shared by millions, companies such as Unitree Robotics, Magic Atom Robotics, Galbot, and Songyan Dynamics showcased the peak of domestic engineering and embodied intelligence. All of these companies are either invested in or deeply positioned within the robotics portfolio of Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK).This showcase, described by industry observers as the "Chinese Embodied Intelligence Parade," signaled the industry’s imminent transition into large-scale commercialization. As a national-level flagship event, the Gala serves as a barometer of technological readiness. The simultaneous appearance of multiple portfolio companies highlights Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial standing and marks a strategic pivot from the validation stage to the harvest phase.Systematic Deployment: Building a Robust Industry-Chain StructureShoucheng Holdings’ investment logic extends beyond simply picking star startups. Instead, it has constructed a systematic framework covering the most critical nodes of the robotics industry chain:Full-Machine Manufacturing and Scalability: Represented by Unitree Robotics, focusing on engineering maturity and the capability for large-scale commercial production.Embodied Intelligence Systems: Represented by Galbot, focusing on the deep integration of AI and hardware—the brain-body coordination that defines the future of the industry.Core Engineering and Power Systems: Represented by Songyan Dynamics, diving deep into the underlying power systems and mechanical components that provide the foundation for all robotic movement.This multi-layered approach—covering Full Machine, Systems, and Components—provides the portfolio with both growth elasticity and structural stability against market volatility.2026 Inflection Point: Driving Value Re-ratingFrom a financial perspective, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics returns are shifting from incremental growth to structural explosion, driven by two core catalysts:First Catalyst is Valuation Re-rating through Industrial Leadership: As robotics moves from laboratory concepts to real-world delivery, companies with proven execution are seeing significant valuation uplifts. The national-level endorsement of the Spring Festival Gala has solidified these companies' market-leader status, generating positive feedback in financing and orders. According to market data, projects such as Galbot and X Square Robotics have already generated absolute investment returns exceeding 10x in recent financing rounds.Second catalyst is The "IPO Harvest Year" of the Capital Cycle: 2026 is poised to be the year when Shoucheng’s long-term bets move into concentrated realization. Unitree Robotics is currently in the final stages of IPO counseling and is expected to become the flagship robotics IPO of China. Analysts estimate that approximately four robotics companies within the portfolio will launch or complete their IPO processes within the year. As these assets move from private to public markets, the pricing logic will shift from technological speculation to performance-driven liquidity premiums.Scenario Closed-Loop: Evolving into an "Industrial Orchestrator"Beyond capital deployment, Shoucheng Holdings’ most forward-looking move is the construction of a commercialization closed-loop. The company is leveraging its deep resources in core commercial districts, smart parking networks, and medical parks to provide high-frequency application scenarios for its portfolio companies.Global Debut of the Robotics Service ComplexIn February 2026, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched the world’s first Integrated Robotics Service Complex in Shougang Park. This facility integrates experience, sales, maintenance, and service, marking Shoucheng’s transition from a pure investor to a deep industrial operator and "scenario orchestrator."Scenario Empowerment through "Taozhu New Creation Hub"This commercial pathway is being accelerated through the Taozhu New Creation Hub brand. By creating a path from stage exposure to offline experience and livestream conversion, Shoucheng is turning high-tech innovations into tangible consumer products. This model allows the company to capture not only equity appreciation but also stable commission and service-based cash flows, shifting toward efficiency-driven growth.Shoucheng Holdings has evolved far beyond a traditional financial investor to become an Industrial Resource Integrator and Scenario Orchestrator. Through its Capital + Scenario + Platform model, the company has built a multi-dimensional return structure. As 2026 marks the first year of large-scale robotic commercialization, Shoucheng’s years of strategic accumulation are reaching a point of resonance, triggering a comprehensive re-rating of its market value.

HONG KONG, Feb 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (0697.HK) said all outstanding convertible bonds have been fully converted into shares, marking the completion of a capital event affecting both shareholder structure and market liquidity.The conversion optimizes the company’s capital structure and releases trading liquidity. Early participants in the bonds have largely taken profits, removing a technical constraint on the company’s equity and prompting investors to reassess valuation as the firm advances its robotics-focused strategy.Convertible bonds, which combine debt and equity characteristics, were originally issued to raise long-term funding for the company’s robotics ecosystem while offering flexible exit options for investors. The conversion period coincided with a concentrated results phase for the portfolio: three invested companies — Unitree Robotics, Galbot and Songyan Dynamics — gained national attention during China’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala, providing visible validation of investment value.During the “Wu BOT” performance, Unitree Robotics’ humanoid robot formation executed complex movements including backflips and martial-arts stances, demonstrating advanced dynamic control capabilities. With 0.001-second servo response and millisecond-level synchronization, the robots completed continuous table-jump parkour and aerial flips. A proprietary dexterous hand enabled rapid prop switching. As a third-time participant in the broadcast, the company’s progress reflects Shoucheng’s early positioning in robot manufacturing.Songyan Dynamics made its first appearance, presenting consumer-oriented humanoid robots capable of lifelike eye movement, facial expression and breathing-like body motion. Positioned in the consumer segment, the company’s pricing strategy targets broader adoption, and the nationwide exposure is expected to accelerate retail demand.Galbot demonstrated embodied intelligence through real-time autonomous manipulation tasks including cracking walnuts, picking up glass fragments and folding clothes. Actions were driven by its AstraBrain model rather than pre-programmed sequences, illustrating practical deployment of embodied AI and highlighting Shoucheng’s positioning in core decision-making technology.Together, the three companies covered motion, interaction and intelligence capabilities, presenting a complete robotics ecosystem and reinforcing the company’s “capital + scenarios + industrial chain” investment model. The timing of the conversion alongside the technology showcase provided gains for bondholders and clarified the pathway for value realization.Liquidity Release and Shareholder Structure AdjustmentMarket performance suggests the conversion was driven by accumulated gains. Since issuance, the company’s share price rose alongside progress in hard-technology investments, particularly in 2025 as robotics commercialization accelerated. Bondholders realized profits through share conversion and subsequent selling, while some long-term institutional investors retained shares, forming a structure combining short-term exits and long-term holdings.Completion of the conversion removes potential selling pressure linked to convertible bond redemption. Newly issued shares have been largely absorbed, improving the shareholder base and trading flexibility. Capital raised through the conversion strengthens the balance sheet, supporting expansion of the Taozhu retail network, robotics investment and secondary development services.Shift Toward Fundamentals-Driven ValuationThe conversion occurs at a key development stage. Shoucheng has built a full-chain robotics investment matrix covering upstream materials, manufacturing and downstream application scenarios. The Taozhu network plans more than 20 locations nationwide by mid-2026, while secondary development and materials businesses expand simultaneously.With technical trading factors removed, investor focus is expected to return to fundamentals. Commercialization progress and earnings realization will become primary drivers of valuation.Analysts say completion of the conversion reflects coordination between capital operations and business development. Long-term funding supports participation in the robotics commercialization cycle, while liquidity release shifts valuation from a capital-structure-constrained model toward fundamentals-based pricing reflecting ecosystem growth potential.Industry ContextEmbodied intelligence has been incorporated into national industrial planning, and 2026 is widely regarded as the first year of large-scale scenario deployment. Shoucheng’s model combining capital, deployment scenarios and supply-chain positioning provides differentiated exposure to the sector’s growth.Market participants expect volatility to stabilize after technical pressure clears. Over the longer term, commercialization of portfolio companies, expansion of retail channels and scaling of secondary development services may support both earnings and valuation growth.Company representatives said completion of the conversion reflects market confidence and will allow continued investment in distribution channels, development services and materials. The company aims to strengthen its role as an integrated robotics ecosystem service provider and deliver long-term shareholder value. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
