Country: UK | Funding: €3,8M
Occam Industries is developing software that enbales drone autonomy without changing the design of the device. The software allows drones to perform tasks without constant manual control, GPS or external communication. This should reduce dependence on operators and make the systems less vulnerable to signal jamming. According to the company, its solutions have already undergone field testing in Ukraine through the Brave1 platform. The next stage is Proof of Concept based on the Ukrainian unmanned platform with adaptation to real combat conditions.

Smack Technologies develops Alpha, a wrist-worn device designed to connect operators in the field to real-time data collected and processed through Smack’s Omega AI software. The sensors that are out collecting information about enemy forces and their location are sending that information to a screen on soldier's forearm along with actionable decision options informed by campaign equities and adjacent units.

Tern AI is an AI-based company that develops technology infrastructure-free alternative to GPS. It allows military vehicle to essentially determine its own position independently, using edge processing, which is helpful both on- and off-road, in tunnels or in deserts. The startup has a contract with U.S. Army
