Autonomous defence · End to end

We build autonomous defence systems.

Things that should be autonomous. Built end to end, in-house.

Why we exist

Some things don't exist yet. Some things aren't autonomous yet. Both are reasons to build.

The catalog

What we make.

Defence hardware, built end to end under one roof.

OL · 0001 Aerial

Wave L

A sub-kilo autonomous drone for close-terrain survey, inspection, and search. Built in-house because the drones that fly themselves, instead of asking you to, didn’t exist yet.

Cylo

Force-sensing, compliant actuators for humanoid and quadruped joints. Built in-house because robots that share space with people need joints that can feel, not just move.

How we work

§1
One building.

Mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software under the same roof. Fewer hand-offs, shorter feedback loops.

§2
Real artifacts first.

We build things that fly, turn, and run. Papers, decks, and demos come after — if at all.

§3
Right tool, right layer.

Edge autonomy when the link drops. Hardware we build end to end. The right layer for the mission, not the demo.

§4
Small team, narrow scope.

We pick a short list of problems and go deep. Everything else we say no to.

Building something
autonomous?

We’re hiring engineers across mechanical, firmware, and ML — and we’re open to research and production partnerships.
