Aurelius Systems

Defense marketsecurityCurated record

Builds Archimedes, a compact autonomous directed-energy counter-UAS platform that fuses AI-guided detection/tracking, advanced optics and a high-power laser in a single unit to identify, track and eliminate low-cost drones in real time at a fraction of the cost of missile-based systems. Working with Rheinmetall on a mobile laser variant. Re-adjudicated: prior watchlist exclusion rested on the voided defense-dominant doctrine; autonomous C-UAS systems are eligible (Anduril/Fortem/Origin precedent).
