Foundation model company building AI for defense robotics and autonomous systems.
About
Scout AI builds foundation models for defense robotics. Their main model, Fury, is a multi-domain model for unmanned systems across air, land, sea, and space. It runs at the tactical edge in comms and GPS-denied environments, on commercial off-the-shelf hardware, with as little as one RGB or thermal camera stream. They also build G01, an unmanned ground vehicle, and Ox, a C2 orchestrator for autonomous vehicles.
