Scout AI, founded in 2024 and headquartered in Silicon Valley with a center of excellence in Maine, develops AI systems for command-and-control of unmanned platforms across air, land, sea, and space domains. The company's core technical focus is converting natural language operator intent into coordinated autonomous action through frontier AI, with particular emphasis on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation models, multi-agent collaboration, and reasoning layers designed for tactical environments.
The company's primary product, Fury, is a defense-specific VLA foundation model engineered for unmanned warfare that operates without external connectivity or cloud reliance - critical for communications-denied and GPS-denied environments. Fury integrates platform-agnostically with existing robotic systems and enables operators to command robot fleets through natural language interfaces. A second product, Ox, functions as a command-and-control–based autonomous vehicle orchestrator. Within its first 18 months, Scout AI publicly demonstrated a fully autonomous end-to-end strike mission executed by AI agents and secured $11 million in contract bookings with the Department of War.
Scout AI closed a $100 million Series A funding round backed by Align Ventures, Draper Associates, Booz Allen Ventures, and Decisive Point. The company targets U.S. defense customers and focuses on supporting U.S. and allied operational requirements, with technical work centered on edge AI, on-device operation, multi-agent systems, and integration with existing military platforms and command-and-control infrastructure.
