UK defense startup Mutable Tactics secured about €1.8 million (~$2M) in pre-seed funding to develop AI software that enables autonomous drone teams to operate even when communications are disrupted.
The software focuses on:
- autonomous decision-making for drone swarms
- mission coordination without GPS or network connectivity
- integration across air, land, and maritime unmanned systems
Investors include:
- Seraphim Space
- national security investment funds
- early-stage deep-tech investors
Investor takeaway
Resilient autonomy software—especially edge AI for denied environments—is becoming a high-priority investment theme in defense tech.
