Scout AI

About

Scout AI is the premier frontier AI lab for U.S. defense, developing the reasoning layer that transforms commander intent into coordinated autonomous action across the battlespace. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Silicon Valley with a center of excellence in Maine, Scout AI is building Fury, the first defense-specific Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model designed for unmanned warfare. At its core, Fury enables human operators to command fleets of robots through natural language, empowering those machines to sense, decide, and act together as one unified force. The technology is designed to operate across all domains - air, land, sea, and space - with a platform-agnostic approach that integrates with existing robotic systems. Fury functions in communications and GPS-denied environments without relying on external connectivity or cloud infrastructure, making it purpose-built for the tactical edge. In its first 18 months, Scout AI booked $11 million in contracts with the Department of War, unveiled Ox (a C2-based autonomous vehicle orchestrator), and publicly demonstrated a fully autonomous end-to-end strike mission executed by AI agents. The company's $100 million Series A - the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history - will accelerate the development of foundational military AI and multi-agent collaboration capabilities. Backed by leading investors including Align Ventures, Draper Associates, Booz Allen Ventures, and Decisive Point, Scout AI is assembling a world-class team to ensure U.S. and allied dominance in the age of intelligent machines.
