High-speed autonomous systems that detect, pursue, and defeat robotic battlefield threats at machine speed.
Code19 Autonomy is a defense technology company building high-speed autonomous counter-robotics systems designed to detect, pursue, and defeat unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime threats at machine speed and sustainable cost. Founded by veteran military officers and robotics PhDs, the company's flagship product — the Maveric Interceptor — is a low-cost, jet-propelled autonomous drone that restores favorable cost exchange against Shahed-class one-way attack UAS. Code19 integrates cutting-edge machine learning, sensor fusion, synthetic data generation (via NVIDIA Omniverse), and optimal control techniques into NDAA-compliant, MOSA-compliant interceptor systems. The company is a finalist in the DoD's Low-Cost Interceptor Challenge (LCIC) and has secured early government contracts, positioning it for a $30–42M APFIT procurement award in 2027.
