Fiber-optic guided drones are immune to electronic warfare jamming, a capability most drone companies cannot match. Swarm control software enabling single-operator coordination of multiple platforms is technically complex. Field testing with UK Royal Marine Commandos, Estonian Military, and European Armed Forces creates reference accounts that competitors need years to establish.
Using agentic multi-drone autonomy for swarm coordination, combat-adaptive path planning, and on-edge target classification.
AI SOC platform automating security triage, investigation, and response.
Torq is buying the SOAR replacement window with agents, workflow depth, and enterprise security distribution before legacy platforms reset the category.
Makes Earth visible 24/7 by converting radar satellite data into clear imagery through clouds.
SAR satellites see through clouds and darkness, but the data is unusable without expert interpretation. AxionOrbital's foundation model converts raw SAR into optical-quality imagery at 1/100th the cost of tasking an optical satellite, making 24/7 earth observation accessible to any buyer.
Builds space solar arrays that launch small and expand to football-field scale in orbit.
Space power demand is expected to grow 500x by 2030 (orbital datacenters, stations, lunar outposts), and no one can launch enough solar arrays to meet it. Beyond Reach's deployable structures expand from a dining table to a football field in orbit, with $175M+ in LOIs already signed.
Predicts satellite link failures 3-5 minutes ahead and reroutes automatically in under 2 seconds.
Satellite operators fight link failures reactively. ConstellationOS predicts failures 3-5 minutes ahead with over 90% accuracy and reroutes in under 2 seconds, and the founding team managed Starlink constellation health at SpaceX.
