About

We're building the first autonomous AI fighter-pilot for space to protect the critical infrastructure that orbits our planet. Our flagship product, Mithril, is a hardware-agnostic autonomy software suite that can turn any off-the-shelf spacecraft into an intelligent bodyguard satellite capable of detecting, characterizing, and responding to orbital threats in real-time. The space domain is getting crowded and contested - from anti-satellite weapons to debris collisions - and we believe the best defense is having capable guardians already on station, watching over high-value assets 24/7.

Our team combines deep expertise in machine learning, robotics, and aerospace engineering to tackle a genuinely hard problem: making spacecraft that can think and act autonomously in the harsh, unpredictable environment of orbit. We're not just building algorithms - we're developing end-to-end protection services that integrate seamlessly with existing satellite buses and deliver practical defensive capabilities to commercial and government operators. It's challenging, technical work that matters, and we're growing fast to meet the moment.
