Grid Aero develops and manufactures autonomous cargo drones for long-range flights. Its Lifter aircraft is capable of carrying thousands of kilograms of cargo over thousands of kilometers. Combining ultra-simple and low-cost designs with advanced autonomous systems, it can reliably operate in remote or hostile environments, where infrastructure is limited or military operations are taking place. Furthermore, the loss of such a drone does not incur significant losses. Grid's autonomous control system combines classic control systems with modern AI, enabling aircraft to operate intelligently over long distances. It learns from other aircraft in the Grid network and minimizes the need for human oversight. Lifter aircraft operate as a fault-tolerant distributed network. With seamless fleet-wide control, a small ground team can manage dozens of aircraft over vast regions.

Skylark creates AI for physical applications, aiming to create a superintelligence that can learn and act in the real world. The company is developing the KEPLER edge platform for collecting data from optical, thermal, radar and unmanned sensors and rapidly recognizing threats, providing improved situational awareness for military operations. Its second platform, TURING, is designed for intelligence agencies. It can analyze data from linguistic and visual sources to recognize information threats. Skylark also produces compact industrial computing units for edge computing and solar-powered, trailer-mounted Scout AI towers for real-time surveillance using multiple sensors. They integrate LiDAR, radar, audio, thermal, visible light sensors with on-device adaptive artificial intelligence and provide real-time perimeter monitoring, threat detection and autonomous alerting.
