Terminal Autonomy company

Terminal Autonomy is a defense technology company that develops and mass‑produces autonomous, low‑cost precision strike drones and unmanned aerial systems to support democracies and frontline forces with scalable, combat‑proven airpower solutions.

Terminal Autonomy overview

Terminal Autonomy was founded to transform how democracies defend themselves. As the war in Ukraine revealed the urgent need for scalable, autonomous systems, the team moved rapidly to build and deploy drones that delivered real impact on the front lines.

Founded by engineers, veterans, and technologists, Terminal Autonomy set out to create the defense company they believed was missing—fast-moving, principled, and operational from day one. The focus is not on experimentation, but on delivering systems that perform under real combat conditions.

Autonomous Arsenal of Democracy

Terminal Autonomy develops autonomous systems designed for warfare, not laboratories. Its battle-tested AI software suite enables real-time targeting, strike coordination, and swarm control. Built in Ukraine and deployed in large numbers, these systems emphasize reliability, scale, and effectiveness in contested environments.

Trusted and Deployed

Terminal Autonomy’s systems are deployed by frontline units and defense partners worldwide, supporting operational forces across multiple branches and allied organizations.

Products

The company develops autonomous, combat-proven aircraft optimized for mass production, precision strike missions, and GNSS‑free operation:

• AQ 100 Bayonet

• AQ 400 Scythe

Mission and Team

We don’t build prototypes — we build systems that go to war.

The team brings together combat veterans, AI engineers, and builders united by a single goal: delivering autonomy at scale to defend democracies where it matters most.
