Swan develops autonomous systems - including drones and other platforms - designed for reliable operation in contested environments where GPS and GNSS signals are degraded, denied, or unavailable. The company's work sits at the intersection of defense and critical infrastructure, addressing navigation and precision-targeting challenges that conventional systems cannot.
At the core of Swan's offering is a modular autonomy platform that delivers navigation, sensing, mapping, and precision-targeting capabilities. These modules can be fielded independently or combined, running on individual assets using onboard sensing and advanced algorithms rather than relying on external positioning signals.
The team brings deep technical expertise in autonomous systems, with backgrounds spanning companies such as Aurora and Uber's self-driving divisions, as well as Carnegie Mellon's National Robotics Engineering Center. Swan is backed by venture capital firms including a16z's American Dynamism fund.
