Hardware-agnostic common C2 for counter-UAS

About us

Surtr Defense Systems is building the open operating system for counter-UAS. Today's defense ecosystem is fragmented. Sensors, effectors and software platforms are often built to operate in isolation, creating unnecessary complexity for operators in the field. ParallaxOS changes that. It connects existing systems into a single operating picture, making it easier to integrate new capabilities, share data and respond to evolving threats. Founded by former engineers from Anduril and Shield AI, Surtr is focused on one thing: building software that makes defense systems work better together. We believe the future of defense belongs to open architectures, rapid integration and interoperable systems. Building defense technology to unite the West.

    Today we're excited to share that Surtr has raised a $4.8M pre-seed round as we continue building the software that connects the modern battlefield. A sincere thank you to our investors Allegis Capital, Eniac Ventures, Gaingels, Robinhood Ventures, Streamlined, and the incredible angel investors backing our mission. All of the support we have received gives us the opportunity to keep building. #DefenseTech #CounterUAS #Interoperability #Autonomy #NationalSecurity Read the full article by Tectonic:

    We recently returned from Ukraine, where we had the opportunity to test ParallaxOS and spend time with the operators confronting the drone threat every day. While validating the effectiveness of the technology was important, the real value came from the conversations. Hearing directly from the people who rely on these systems in the field provided insights that can't be replicated anywhere else. As threats continue to evolve, sensors, effectors, and command systems need to work together seamlessly. The operators on the ground don't need more disconnected tools. What they need are systems that work together. We're grateful to the BRAVE1 team for the opportunity to test in an operationally relevant environment and to the soldiers and operators who took the time to share their experience and feedback. Every conversation made us better. Those lessons will directly shape how ParallaxOS continues to evolve. At Surtr, our mission is straightforward: build technology that helps protect the people on the front lines and save lives. Thank you to everyone who made the trip possible, with special thanks to Olha Pelypenko, Yuriy P., Kateryna Chaikivska, and Yevheniia Kachan. Check out a video from the trials.

    Sound. Sight. Speed. ⠀ Thanks to AI-powered technology, data from acoustic and optical sensors is instantly combined into a single picture of the battlefield. As a result, the system detects and calculates the coordinates of aerial targets with minimum latency. ⠀ We tested an FPV drone detection solution from the American startup Surtr Defense Systems (YC P26) as a part of the Test in Ukraine program. The testing results demonstrated a promising level of technological maturity for a prototype-stage solution. ⠀ The developers received direct feedback from the Ukrainian military and Brave1, which will help them further refine and adapt the system for combat operations. Technologies like this are the first step toward creating active protection systems against drones, which are capable of radically changing the game on the battlefield. ⠀ See the photos of the trials.

    Surtr Defense Systems (YC P26) is building ParallaxOS, the open operating system for drone defense. It fuses data from any sensor or effector into a single unified threat picture with AI fire control and engagement recommendations, all in one interface, human in the loop. Drone defense operators today face a wall of screens from incompatible systems, each with its own interface and data format. The operator's brain becomes the fusion engine, mentally correlating detections under extreme time pressure. Integrating a new sensor into existing C2 takes months and millions of dollars. ParallaxOS removes that friction. Built on open standards, it works out of the box with common interoperability protocols and adapts proprietary sensor APIs in days. Partners own their integrations. Customers own their data. Both of Surtr's founders are autonomy engineers who built and shipped autonomous systems for Group 3 aircraft deployed in active combat theaters. Anshul Ahluwalia (CEO) comes from Shield AI, Cameron Fiore (CTO) from Anduril. They saw the interoperability problem firsthand and started Surtr to solve it with an OS people actually trust and want to build on. Congrats to the team on the launch! https://lnkd.in/gJjTTmz3
