NUBURU Expands Into Defense-Grade Software With Orbit Acquisition—Aiming for $19.29M Revenue by 2028
Strategic Acquisition Targets $3.6B Defense Resilience Market
NUBURU, known for its high-performance blue laser technology, announced it will acquire Orbit S.r.l.—an Italian software specialist in operational resilience and crisis management. This move signals NUBURU's intent to compete in the booming defense and critical infrastructure market, with the operational resilience sector expected to reach $2.9–$3.6 billion in 2025 and grow over 10% annually.
Integration of Hardware and Software Unlocks End-to-End Solutions
The acquisition expands NUBURU’s Defense & Security Hub by blending Orbit's SaaS platform with its own laser and vehicle systems, plus Tekne’s electronic warfare tools. The goal: to deliver a comprehensive solution covering real-time situational awareness, crisis management, continuity planning, and operational readiness for mission-critical clients. Orbit's technology already supports tasks like automated testing, OSINT data analysis, and crisis communications for defense agencies.
Projected Revenue Growth Highlights Scalable SaaS Model
| Year | Orbit Projected Revenue (USD Millions) |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $3.22 |
| 2027 | $10.75 |
| 2028 | $19.29 |
Orbit forecasts a sharp climb in SaaS revenue, from $3.22 million in 2026 to $19.29 million in 2028. These gains are fueled by its recurring, high-margin business model and expanding client roster across the U.S., EU, and NATO-aligned defense organizations.
Acquisition Terms Balance Cash and Equity
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total Consideration | $12.50M |
| Cash Advance to Owner | $2.40M |
| Receivable Offset | -$1.35M |
| Remaining Paid in Equity (by 2026) | $11.45M* |
*Amount subject to finalization and stockholder approval.
Corporate Governance and Conflict Review
Orbit is owned by NUBURU’s Executive Chairman and Co-CEO Alessandro Zamboni, prompting a review by independent non-executive directors and a U.S.-based Big 4 financial advisor to ensure proper governance and valuation.
Defense Applications Position NUBURU for Next-Gen Mission Assurance
- Real-time situational awareness and OSINT integration
- Automated crisis command, continuity planning, and response
- Continuous readiness management and evidence capture
With defense agencies rapidly digitalizing, NUBURU aims to meet increasing demands for resilience—turning its defense hardware portfolio and Orbit's SaaS into a single mission assurance platform.
Investor Takeaway: Transforming for Sustainable Growth in Defense-Tech
This acquisition marks NUBURU's evolution from a hardware-focused company into an integrated defense technology provider, seeking a direct foothold in a lucrative, fast-growing market. As the company awaits stockholder approval and continues building its Defense & Security Hub, investors and industry observers should watch whether NUBURU’s bold bet on resilience technology delivers the revenue and competitive edge projected.
