About the Company

Seeing Systems is a small, NATO-focused defence startup, specialising in development of, and training on small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and AI-enabled embedded swarm systems. We’ve worked with UK Commando Royal Marines, Estonian Military, Luxembourg Army, among others.

We are currently working with a US manufacturer to produce our next-generation one-way effector drone, along with our own control system, breaking the current 1:1 operator-to-drone ratio with a unique usability-first approach, allowing full swarm autonomy for pilots with no prior training or experience.

Python, Rust, OCaml, ROS, AirSim, World Models, MAVLink, SLAM
