Why we're watching

No. 1

CTO Cameron Fiore built aircraft autonomy at Anduril, and before that planning and controls at Shield AI - just valued at $12.7B for its Hivemind autonomous pilot. He knows how these aircraft think because he built the brains.

No. 2

CEO Anshul Ahluwalia was a Senior Robotics Engineer at Shield AI, forward-deployed with the military on planning and controls for autonomous aircraft. Together they've built the AI that flies drones - now they're building the OS that defeats them.

No. 3

Counter-drone operators juggle 10+ sensor feeds across disconnected screens. No common picture. Decisions take minutes; threats move in seconds. ParallaxOS fuses every sensor and effector into one screen - hardware-agnostic, NATO-native, AI-powered at millisecond latency.

No. 4

To-be-announced YC P26. The counter-UAS market is $4B in 2026 and growing - the Pentagon just launched JIATF-401 and a Counter-UAS Marketplace with 1,600+ items. Ukraine proved cheap drones rewrite warfare; every base, ship, and forward position now needs air defense.
