If there is one thing that will define Fall 2025 in the defense tech world, it’s partnerships. Yesterday, edge computing company Armada announced that they’ve inked a deal with drone giant Skydio to “equip federal, state, and local agencies with the ability to capture and process drone intelligence in real time,” even in jammed environments. […]
In case you didn’t know, it’s like really, really hard to navigate at sea. And that gets even harder when you’re putting drones under the water—like autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) company Vatn Systems is. Well, yesterday, the Rhode Island-based startup announced that they’ve found a solution: They have developed their very own inertial navigation system […]
The great transatlantic team-up continues. On Tuesday, counter-drone big dog, Dedrone by Axon, and German startup TYTAN announced a partnership integrating Dedrone’s sensors and detection tech onto TYTAN’s autonomous Group 3 drone interceptors. Shoot ‘em down: Dedrone, which was snapped up by public safety tech company Axon (the Taser-maker) last year, is an OG in […]
Well, Anduril is certainly returning to its VR/AR roots. Yesterday at AUSA, the defense tech giant unveiled a new family of souped-up helmets called EagleEye that “unifies command and control, digital vision, and survivability within a single, adaptive architecture.” The helmets build on the work Anduril has done for the US Army’s Soldier Borne Mission […]
Autonomous ATV? Cute. Autonomous ATV with Anduril sensors, electronic warfare capabilities, and a supporting drone? That’s a whole different ball game—and Overland AI just proved it’s possible. Today, in an exclusive release to Tectonic, the ground autonomy company announced that it teamed up with Anduril to successfully demo a version of Overland AI’s ULTRA autonomous […]
Looks like the prime-startup love-fest is in full swing. This morning, directed energy c-UAS startup Epirus announced that it’s teaming up with General Dynamics Land Systems to build a mobile, counter-drone robotic ground vehicle. The RGV will be equipped with Epirus’ signature Leonidas system, and will be called the Leonidas Autonomous Robotic (AR). A full […]
The much-anticipated defense tech rollup era is in full swing, even on the other side of the pond. This morning, German defense tech darling Helsing, one of Europe’s most valuable startups, announced that it has acquired Blue Ocean, an Australian underwater drone company, to accelerate the development of its unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) program. Looks […]
You know what sucks? When you spend oodles on drone detection and jamming technology, and it doesn’t work because, say, Russia is flying its drones outside of normal frequencies. Well, lucky for us, Danish cUAS company MyDefence has a solution: Today, the company unveiled a new antenna called WideBand XF that can detect drones flying […]
Thought we were done with the partnership news? Think again. This morning, autonomous targeting company AimLock announced that it’s teamed up with ground autonomy startup Overland AI to build its “autonomous targeting and engagement systems” (read: hands-free pew-pew) onto Overland’s ULTRA unmanned vehicle. Sounds like a certain drone-car is getting a lethal glow-up. Big brain: […]
For an industry that hasn’t changed much in decades, the solid rocket motor (SRM) space has been on fire lately. On Tuesday, Anduril announced that it successfully completed a static fire test of an SRM it developed and built for air-to-air weapons with RTX. Looks like everyone’s favorite neo-prime is shaking up yet another industry, […]
