Build counter-drone systems in Austin.
We ship hardware on software tempo — AI perception, kinetic engagement, and the kill chain that closes them. Hard problems, real deployment, short iteration loops, and the people doing the work own the spec.

[ WHY 9 MOTHERS ]
Why this team. Why now.
If you've ever shipped hardware inside a slow program of record and thought we should be doing this in months, not years — this is the team for you.
1. 01
The work is the perk.
Autonomous perception, terminal engagement, manufacturable hardware — designed and built in one room. You'll own a system, not a Jira ticket.
2. 02
Short loops, real telemetry.
Range time, range data, range fixes. We instrument what we build and we iterate on what the data tells us — not on what the roadmap deck promised six months ago.
3. 03
Operators are users.
Mass, setup time, and human factors are first-class specs. The people carrying it are in the loop from week one — not at acceptance testing.
4. 04
Built to be afforded.
Cost-per-shot, serviceability, and manufacturability are design constraints. We're building weapons the U.S. and its allies can afford to use at scale.
[ A DAY ON THE LINE ]
What the work looks like.
1. 01 Range setup. Coffee. Comms check. 2. 02 Live-fire iteration on yesterday's filter taps. 3. 03 Operator debrief over food trucks. 4. 04 Bench rework. Solder. Print. Re-flash. 5. 05 Next-day spec on the whiteboard.
