It designs artificial intelligence systems intended for military applications, with the stated aim of helping democratic governments maintain technological advantage. The company works exclusively with democratic states and positions itself as Europe's leading defence AI firm.
Its core technical work spans AI-enabled autonomous systems, precision-strike capabilities, and real-time data analysis.
