Overview

We engineer inexpensive, autonomous strike drones designed to operate in the most contested combat environments on Earth!

By combining true hardware modularity with an agentic control system that lowers cognitive load on operators, we enable faster upgrades, broader adoption, and more than 2x reduction in lifecycle cost.

Our customers and partners include the UK Royal Marine Commandos, several other units in the UK, and 4 other NATO forces, and we are currently shipping prototypes for iterative feedback.

Think of us as Anduril, but with worse weather, and better banter.

Company history As recorded 2026-11-08

Alexander Le Maitre

Founder/CEO

I've been obsessed with unmanned systems since I was a kid. Nobody was going to teach me embedded electronics or PCB design, so I taught myself. Since then, I've built Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training and diagnostic hardware for militaries - plus a few projects I'm still not allowed to talk about. I've trained special forces in fifth-generation warfare and modern IED tech. I'm from a small island called Guernsey. These days I run a company building tech that keeps the country safe.
