Auterion
Auterion develops AuterionOS, a commercial distribution of the open-source PX4 autopilot stack, providing the AI software layer and operating system for autonomous unmanned aerial systems across defense and commercial markets. The platform enables edge AI inference, swarm coordination, and autonomous mission execution on low-cost commodity UAV hardware, making it a drone-agnostic autonomy stack in the spirit of the Aurora/Flexion precedent. In July 2025, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded Auterion a $50M contract to provide 33,000 AI-based drone guidance kits to Ukraine. A $130M Series B closed in September 2025, valuing the company above $600M.
