WARGdrones offers AI-led Drone Perimeter Defense
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Hamburg, Germany
Funding: USD 1,1 M
Reach out for Intruder Identification
WARdrones is a German startup that enables soldiers to protect their perimeter against unwanted intruders through AI-led drone perimeter defense. Its proprietary automated drone system, GARMR, consists of a drone-home, WARpad, and a drone, PEREGRINE. The drone searches the target coordinates for intruders and the system notifies the connected control center upon positive identification. It then confirms the identification and notifies concerned authorities. Further, the drone interacts with the intruders via a speaker and allows the operator to trigger a dye capsule, which makes the intruders identifiable should they flee the scene. Additionally, GARMR takes on patrol duties or functions as a first responder to fight emerging fires by dropping flame retardants at desired locations.
TurbineOne simplifies Frontline Perception
Founding Year: 2020
Location: San Francisco, US
Funding: USD 3 M
Partner with TurbineOne for Combat Situational Awareness
US-based startup TurbineOne designs a frontline perceptions system for warfighters. It utilizes machine learning (ML) to offer data-driven insights on battlefields. This includes threat detection, target identification, AI-based video analysis, and classification of killer robots. Moreover, the startup provides this data and alerts even in disconnected, intermittent, and low bandwidth (DIL) environments through a self-healing mesh protocol. This enables fighters to receive smart alerts for unseen dangers in the field without having to code or depend on the internet.
Vizgard advances AI-based Threat Tracking
Founding Year: 2020
Location: London, UK
Funding: USD 750 000
Innovate with Vizgard for Automated Visual Threat Detection
Vizgard is a UK-based startup that provides AI-based object tracking for unmanned and counter-unmanned systems. The startup’s edge processing platform, VizEDGE AGX, deploys its computer vision server, FortifAI, on its proprietary drone, VIZEDGE AIR. This enables automatic visual confirmation and tracking threats such as unauthorized drones. VizEDGE AGX‘s image enhancement functionality also reduces image degradation due to external factors like heat turbulence, fog, and platform movements. Further, Vizgard’s real-time track position information directs any internet protocol (IP) or serial digital interface (SDI) camera-based system. This allows automation and reduces the cognitive burden on operators.
