Company Directory
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.
Aerialtronics develops and manufactures drones for various industries, including inspection, surveying, and security. Their drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors, making them suitable for autonomous systems applications.
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.
Axon develops software and hardware solutions for law enforcement and public safety, including drones and body-worn cameras. Their products are used for surveillance, evidence collection, and situational awareness.
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.
