Aurelius Systems

Aurelius Systems develops autonomous, AI-powered directed energy laser systems designed to neutralize drone threats. The company's work sits at the intersection of several demanding technical domains: directed energy lasers, AI/ML autonomy, optics and photonics, high-power fiber lasers, and mission systems engineering. Its flagship product, Archimedes, is a compact, field-portable platform that combines these disciplines to detect threats beyond 2 km and neutralize drones at ranges exceeding 1 km.

The company has demonstrated notable speed in execution, moving from prototype to operator field tests in under 18 months. This pace contributed to Aurelius Systems winning the U.S. Army's inaugural FUZE competition. The firm has secured $10 million in seed funding to advance its work in defense, military applications, and critical infrastructure protection.

Based in San Francisco, Aurelius Systems draws on a team that includes former Department of Defense and intelligence community operators alongside experts in optics and photonics from leading U.S. laser manufacturers. The combination of operational experience and deep technical specialization underpins the company's approach to building field-deployable autonomous systems.
