Independent C-UAS AI

Vigil Autonomy is a stealth defense company building the common detection stack and evaluation plane for counter-UAS systems.

Why We Exist

Counter-UAS systems need better perception infrastructure.

Modern defense teams are moving faster than the data and evaluation infrastructure around them. Vigil focuses on the inputs that make fielded systems reliable: synchronized data, real scenarios, and repeatable measurement.

We are not trying to own the whole weapon stack. We build the shared perception layer that helps integrators, operators, and evaluators make better decisions before the airspace is contested.
