Exhibit 99.1
Duke Robotics Appoints Capital Markets and Public
Company Finance Veteran Avi Levin as Chief Financial Officer
Seasoned Finance Executive with Extensive Experience
Across Nasdaq-Listed Companies and Institutional Firms to Support Duke’s Growth Strategy
Strengthens Executive Leadership Team to Accelerate
Growth Plans as Company Seeks to Scale Innovative Drone Platforms Across Defense and Civilian Markets
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, September 17, 2026 - Duke Robotics Corp. (Nasdaq:
DUKR; DUKRW) (“Duke Robotics” or the “Company”), a leader in advanced robotics and drone-based solutions for civilian
and defense markets, today announced the appointment of Avi Levin as Chief Financial Officer, effective October 1, 2026. Mr. Levin succeeds
Shlomo Zakai, who is expected to continue providing financial and corporate consulting services to the Company to support a seamless transition
of financial operations.
The appointment comes as Duke Robotics enters an accelerated growth
phase following its recent Nasdaq uplisting and the arrival of Chief Executive Officer Yiftach Kleinman. As the Company looks to scale
commercial adoption of its drone platforms across defense and civilian markets, and expand its offerings, the Company believes Mr. Levin
will play a key role in developing Duke’s financial strategy, capital allocation, and corporate initiatives to support its growing operational
footprint and strategic expansion plans.
“Since assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer, my focus
has been to accelerate our operational tempo and assemble the executive leadership required to execute our growth strategy,” said
Yiftach Kleinman, Chief Executive Officer of Duke Robotics. “Duke is at a pivotal inflection point. In the civilian sector, our
utility grid solutions are commercially validated and addressing an urgent need for power infrastructure resilience amid rising geopolitical
challenges and surging energy demand associated with, among other things, artificial intelligence. In defense, our battle-tested platforms
are advancing toward broader commercialization. Bringing on an executive of Avi’s caliber is central to pursuing this market opportunity.
He brings a rare combination of deep capital markets experience, proven public company CFO leadership, and strategic transaction expertise
that we believe will be instrumental in scaling our business. On behalf of our Board of Directors and the entire Company, I also want
to thank Shlomo Zakai for his dedicated financial stewardship through our Nasdaq uplisting, and we look forward to his continued support.”
Mr. Levin is an accomplished financial executive and certified public
accountant with more than two decades of corporate finance, capital markets, and institutional leadership experience across the United
States and Israel. Throughout his career, he has raised more than $130 million through private placements and public offerings with Nasdaq-listed
issuers. He previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Ability Inc. (NASDAQ: ABIL), where he helped lead three Nasdaq offerings,
raising an aggregate of $100 million. He also served as Chief Financial Officer of RAD Data Communications, a leading global telecommunications
provider with over $150 million in annual revenue, where he managed a 49-person global finance and IT organization across 11 subsidiaries
and led the company’s official Nasdaq IPO readiness initiative. Mr. Levin also served as Chief Financial Officer of enterprise AI
software provider BlackSwan Technologies, securing a $30 million institutional financing round. Most recently, he served as a senior financial
advisor and executive consultant, advising late-stage technology companies on U.S. capital raising, IPO readiness, and strategic transactions.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Levin worked in New York City at Credit
Suisse (now part of UBS), where he worked on initial public offerings, follow-on equity offerings, and debt financings for NYSE-listed
companies. He previously held corporate finance and controller positions at Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE: BR), where his responsibilities
included acquisition accounting and post-merger integration, and served as Financial Reporting Manager at Overseas Shipholding Group (now
International Seaways, NYSE: INSW). He began his career in the audit practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in its San Jose, California
and Tel Aviv offices. Mr. Levin holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the NYU Stern School of Business and a Bachelor of
Arts in Economics and Accounting from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in both the United
States and Israel.
“I am thrilled to join Duke Robotics at such an exciting stage
in its development,” said Avi Levin, incoming Chief Financial Officer. “Duke has developed innovative, proprietary drone technologies
that I believe address clear and urgent operational needs across critical industries. With a strong public company platform on Nasdaq
and energized leadership under Yiftach, the Company is positioned to pursue its growth strategy. I look forward to partnering closely
with Yiftach, our Board of Directors, and our talented team to strengthen our financial foundation, support our strategic expansion, and
drive long-term value for our shareholders.”
