Castelion develops and manufactures affordable hypersonic strike missiles Blackbeard for the US Army. These missiles travel through the upper atmosphere at more than five times the speed of sound, enabling them to overcome traditional defenses. Missle's flight computer features mission critical real-time capability, hardware-enforced isolation and real-time cryptographic acceleration. Castelion is working on integrating Blackbeard with the HIMARS missile platform. The company is building a solid-fuel rocket manufacturing facility in New Mexico to support large-scale production of hypersonic missiles. The company is founded by SpaceX veterans.

Frankenburg Technologies is developing miniature anti-drone missiles that are at least ten times cheaper than those currently available on the market. These missiles were designed specifically to destroy drones and Shahed loitering munitions and are intended for mass production. The startup has also created an AI-powered situational awareness platform, enabling it to anticipate threats and stay ahead of adversaries. The company has already conducted tests at a NATO base, using a short-range missile to destroy a 2-meter (6.5-foot) drone traveling at 200 kilometers per hour (124 miles per hour).
