Vandaris Defense Systems

Win the cost exchange—against drones and armor.

Our mission is to make autonomous kinetic effects affordable at scale: defeat hostile UAS, tanks, and other high-value targets with expendable platforms operators can actually procure in volume.

The insight

Warfare is now a math problem on both axes: cheap drones overwhelm expensive air defense, and cheap autonomous strikers can make armored platforms untenable to deploy at scale.

Vandaris builds the expendable autonomous vehicle for that math—one architecture for air defense and surface strike, priced to fire in volume.

Operating concept

Launch autonomous strike vehicles against priority targets in the air and on the ground—without tying up scarce missile batteries or manned attack aviation for every engagement.

Counter-UAS

Autonomous intercept of hostile drones and low-altitude air threats.

Surface strike

Terminal kinetic engagement of armor and high-value mobile targets.

What we’re proving next

Closed-loop autonomous terminal engagement in flight—counter-UAS and anti-armor profiles. Then reliability, manufacturing learning rate, and early design partnerships on the path to fielded capability.
