YC-backed Earendil Robotics builds autonomous interceptor drones for affordable air defense
ycombinator · x · 2026-09-15
Y Combinator-backed Earendil Robotics is building autonomous interceptor drones, along with the software and training to stand up air-defense capability from scratch. Its systems can take off, transit, and intercept targets on their own, reducing months of pilot training to a few clicks — aiming for air defense cheap enough to deploy at scale.
