One of the reasons why drones have become such a key component in the modern battlefield is because they are commoditised, making them relatively cheap and easy to produce in the tens of thousands. What drone hardware models lack, however, is software to make them effective. This is where Auterion comes in. The company develops operating systems that can be used for single UAVs and larger swarms, covering both reconnaissance and attack. The systems, critically, are vendor-agnostic — leading one investor to refer to it as the “Android for drones.” It works with a number of partners that include defence manufacturers like Rheinmetall, startups like Airlogix, as well as European and US forces. It’s profitable and is on the cusp of ‘unicorn’ status. IL
