About the Client
The client builds a family of low-cost, high-altitude and long-range systems: stratospheric balloon platforms, balloon-deployed ISR and communications buses, autonomous glide vehicles and dispensers, and a family of ultra long range (ULR), affordable-mass, ground-launched one-way attack and ISR drones. The company has closed a recent funding round backed by a top-tier venture syndicate, and its systems are flying and being tested in operationally relevant environments today, including active flight test campaigns forward-deployed overseas. The team is small, moving fast, and every engineer owns hardware that flies.
