The Greek company will use the funds to accelerate the production of affordable, autonomous systems that defend against invasion and incursion at a national scale.
Delian is expanding its engineering and field teams across Europe to meet the growing needs of NATO and allied democracies.
The company is also improving its engineering efforts and investing in research to operate in challenging environments without GPS.
Delian Alliance Industries: Autonomous systems for modern warfare
Founded by Dimitrios Kottas, Delian Alliance Industries is a defence technology company developing affordable, scalable, and autonomous systems for modern warfare.
The company aims to deliver rapid situational awareness and effective area denial through software-defined platforms, AI, and electronic warfare.
Delian is developing a new system that combines sensors and effectors to automatically find and eliminate threats on land, in the air, and at sea.
This system creates a protective “dome” for democratic countries.
Delian uses advanced AI and commercial hardware from allied nations, learning from recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Instead of depending on outdated and costly weapons, Delian offers affordable, autonomous systems that can be quickly rolled out on a large scale.
Delian Alliance Industries product suite
Its product suite is split into two primary areas: Sense and Strike.
Sense Capabilities:
LAST Towers: Autonomous surveillance towers that fuse visual feeds from UAVs and ground sensors for 24/7 area monitoring.JERICHO: A rugged, portable communications and targeting system integrating GSM, satellite, and edge computing for field-level intelligence and control.StrikeWeb: A command-and-control suite for fully automated mission planning and multi-domain execution.
Strike Capabilities:
OSIRIS: A GPS-denied navigation module that enables UAVs to fly autonomously with near-zero location error.Interceptigon-A: Fixed-wing kamikaze drones capable of high-speed swarm attacks from concealed coastal or terrain launch points.Interceptigon-N: A stealthy unmanned surface vehicle (USV) designed to lie dormant on the seabed and surface to eliminate maritime threats.M4K15: A next-gen electronic warfare module that neutralises incoming UAVs via non-kinetic disruption.
“Our adversaries are arming themselves with emerging technologies at a rapid industrial scale,” says Dimitrios Kottas, founder and CEO of Delian. “We’re in a race against time and should measure deployments in days, not decades. We’ve proven our systems in mission-critical environments and will now ramp up production internationally”.
