First Hydrogen Completes Design and IP Protection for Major Performance and Efficiency Optimization Including Amphibous Capabilities to Its Ground Drone Technology Platform

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 19, 2026) - First Hydrogen Corp. (TSXV: FHYD) (OTC Pink: FHYDF) (FSE: FIT) ("FIRST HYDROGEN" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the design and intellectual property (IP) protection of a significant performance and efficiency optimization including amphibious capabilities to its unmanned ground drone platform ("UGV").

Current UGV technologies generally fall into two categories. At one end are heavy, expensive autonomous tracked vehicles, which offer ruggedness but are costly, heavy, and limited in complex terrain navigation. At the other are quadruped robotic systems, which lack robustness and are constrained by lower speed, limited payload capacity, and restricted range.

First Hydrogen's UGV is designed to bridge this industry-recognized gap by delivering an extremely rugged, amphibious capable, mid-sized yet lightweight platform purpose-built for the demanding environments and high-speed operation. The latest upgrade is designed to enhance energy efficiency, while significantly improving traction and the UGV's ability to traverse steep, loose, and undulating terrain.

Based on the Company's review of existing technologies and patent filings, First Hydrogen believes the industry has long recognized the need for a ground mobility platform capable of combining rugged terrain performance, payload capacity, range and operational simplicity. The Company believes its approach is designed to address this need with a simpler, more robust and scalable solution with AI integration.

Purpose-Built Modular Architecture
At the core of the UGV is a patented, folding chassis architecture featuring eight articulated semi-robotic legs with integrated leg-wheel assemblies. This hybrid leg-wheel design enables continuous four-point ground contact, delivering exceptional stability, maneuverability and speed across terrain that typically grounds conventional wheeled or tracked systems.

The platform's hot-swappable mission modules allow operators to rapidly transition between roles, including logistics cradles, ISR sensor masts, drone launch and recovery systems, refueling stations and other payload interfaces. Identical interchangeable components across all positions reduce manufacturing complexity, improve serviceability and support high-volume production efficiency.
