Architecture analysis, company intelligence, and integration maps for every player in the autonomous systems era.
Deep-dive architecture analysis and integration intelligence from the autonomous systems ecosystem.
Architecture analysis of the most ambitious autonomous systems acquisition strategy in defence
Read analysis →Every company in the autonomous systems stack — OAS subsidiaries and key competitors.
Kelvin Hughes provides radar and surveillance systems for military and commercial customers, including drone detection and tracking solutions.
Leonardo DRS is a US-based subsidiary of the Italian company Leonardo, providing advanced defense technologies, including autonomous systems and unmanned vehicles.
Autonomous demining using ground-penetrating radar, metal detection, and IR signature analysis — separating detection from human decision-making in the most dangerous job in conflict-zone reconstruction.
ADICO is a leading developer of counter-drone systems, providing effective solutions for military and civilian applications. Their systems are used by various military forces worldwide.
AeroVironment holds 20+ years of US Army installed base across Raven, Puma, and Switchblade platforms — a doctrine and training moat that no technology advantage can quickly displace.
Airborne Technologies designs and manufactures autonomous drone systems for military and commercial applications, including surveillance, inspection, and mapping.
The Optimus System is a drone-in-a-box platform achieving persistent BVLOS ISR with no human physically present — the dock handles charging, maintenance, and mission cycling automatically.
American Robotics holds the FAA certification for fully-automated BVLOS drone operations — a multi-year regulatory moat that applies to the complete Optimus System architecture, not just a single aircraft.
Anduril builds Lattice OS first (the AI C2 brain) and hardware second — the most direct competitor to the full OAS system-of-systems concept, building their multi-domain stack organically rather than through acquisition.
Animal Dynamics develops autonomous drone systems inspired by nature, focusing on surveillance, inspection, and cargo transport applications.
Apeiro uses fiber-optic micro-spool tethered UAV technology — physically immune to RF jamming — enabling persistent aerial awareness in GPS-denied, RF-contested environments where Optimus cannot operate.
Asylon provides counter-UAS solutions to military and commercial customers, offering a range of products to detect and neutralize drone threats.
Austal is an Australian shipbuilding company that also develops and integrates autonomous systems, including unmanned surface vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
BIRD provides electronic protection (MAWS) and ISR sensing for manned and unmanned aircraft operating within the OAS stack, adding a non-RF threat detection layer to complement CoRF.
Blue Bear Systems is a UK-based company specializing in the development of autonomous ground vehicles for military and commercial applications, including mine clearance and surveillance.
BlueHalo is a US-based company providing advanced technology solutions, including counter-UAS systems, to the US military and other government agencies.
Cape is a US-based company offering an AI-powered platform for autonomous drone operations, serving industries such as construction, infrastructure, and public safety.
Cerbair offers counter-UAS solutions to military and commercial customers, including detection and neutralization systems for drone threats.
Cohort plc is a UK-based defense company that provides a range of services and products, including autonomous systems, cyber security, and electronic warfare.
Convexum offers counter-UAS solutions to military and commercial customers, including detection and neutralization systems for drone threats.
D-Fend Solutions offers an autonomous counter-drone system, using AI and machine learning to detect and neutralize drone threats.
Dedrone uses sensor fusion C-UAS — combining RF, radar, optical, and acoustic detection — competing with Sentrycs CoRF in the detection segment but relying on jamming for countermeasures.
Drone2Seq develops AI-powered software for autonomous drone systems, focusing on surveillance, inspection, and mapping applications.
DroneShield DroneGun works by overpowering RF signals (jamming) rather than protocol manipulation — effective in military contexts where collateral RF disruption is acceptable, but illegal in civilian environments.
How autonomous systems products connect at the protocol and architecture level.
CoRF detects and classifies the hostile drone via RF protocol analysis, passes GPS coordinates and drone model classification to Iron Drone Raider via a shared data protocol. Raider launches autonomously, confirms target via onboard optics, and executes net capture.
Palantir AI Flight Director sends mission tasking to the Stratollite, which runs SkyWeaver edge AI on-board for local inference without cloud connectivity. ISR imagery is processed on the balloon and only compressed intelligence (not raw video) is downlinked.
American Robotics provides the FAA BVLOS certification framework and autonomy software layer that Airobotics Optimus System hardware runs under. The certification covers the full dock-to-dock automated mission cycle.
