Scout AI is a defense technology company founded in 2024 with locations in Silicon Valley and Maine. The company develops the reasoning layer intended to transform commander intent into coordinated autonomous action across the battlespace for U.S. defense. Its technical work spans Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models, autonomous systems, robotics, multi-agent collaboration, and Command and Control (C2) systems.
The company's primary product is Fury, a defense-specific VLA foundation model designed for unmanned warfare. It enables human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language, allowing them to sense, decide, and act as a unified force. The system is platform-agnostic, operates across air, land, sea, and space domains, and functions in communications and GPS-denied environments without external connectivity or cloud infrastructure. Its other product, Ox, is a C2-based autonomous vehicle orchestrator.
Scout AI has booked $11 million in contracts within its first 18 months of operation. In 2024, the company raised a $100 million Series A funding round, which it claims is the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history. The company is focused on assembling a technical team to support its mission of ensuring U.S. and allied dominance in the age of intelligent machines.
