Defense Technologies

Modern security increasingly depends on speed, autonomy and technological superiority. Defence systems are becoming more software-defined, connected and capable of operating across increasingly complex environments.

Companies such as Anduril and Shield AI are advancing autonomous platforms and AI-enabled mission systems, while Palantir has demonstrated the role of software and real-time intelligence in defence operations. Kratos Defense is helping expand the use of high-performance unmanned aircraft and supporting technologies.

We seek companies building the systems that will define the next generation of defence. Our focus includes autonomous platforms, advanced sensors, secure communications, decision-support software, counter-drone systems, electronic warfare and technologies improving operational awareness.

As governments modernize their capabilities, we believe significant opportunities will emerge across both defence platforms and the software connecting them.
