Scout AI, founded in 2024, is a frontier artificial intelligence laboratory focused on U.S. defence applications. The company develops what it describes as a reasoning layer that translates commander intent into coordinated autonomous action across the battlespace. It operates from Silicon Valley and Maine.
The company's flagship product, Fury, is a defence-specific Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model built for unmanned warfare. It allows human operators to direct fleets of robots using natural language across air, land, sea, and space domains, and is designed to function in communications- and GPS-denied environments without cloud infrastructure. Scout AI also offers Ox, a command-and-control-based autonomous vehicle orchestrator.
Technical work spans VLA foundation models, autonomous systems, multi-agent collaboration, robotics, and unmanned warfare. The firm secured $100 million in Series A funding, the largest defence-technology Series A in U.S. history, and booked $11 million in contracts with the Department of War within its first 18 months.
