Defense & Drones

Defense robotics spans autonomous drones, ground uncrewed systems, and perception stacks built for contested, GPS-denied, and high-reliability missions.

COMMERCIALMARKET $10.1B+FORECAST CAGR +31% (UAV segment)

Why it matters: Defense procurement shapes dual-use perception, autonomy, and edge compute — often surfacing in commercial robotics years later through veterans, suppliers, and open research.
