The Case for AUGUR
The Battlefield Has Changed
The modern battlefield is dominated by low-cost, rapidly proliferating unmanned systems.
Drones now account for an estimated 60–70% of enemy equipment damage. Their use is no longer episodic—it is constant, adaptive, and increasingly autonomous.
Yet defensive systems remain fragmented and slow.
Why Current Defenses Fail
Current counter‑UAS responses rely on:
- • Manual interpretation of sensor data
- • Voice-based relay up the chain of command
- • Independent sensor systems that do not communicate
This creates delays measured in minutes—long enough for threats to strike before a response is possible.
In 2023–2024 alone, these gaps contributed to over 170 attacks on U.S. bases.
"Miss the warning and all you're left with is the sound of an incoming drone with seconds to dive for cover."
The AUGUR Way
AUGUR is designed to eliminate delay at the source.
It captures live sensor outputs, correlates detections across systems, and delivers a unified threat picture in near real time.
The result is immediate, shared awareness—across operators, commanders, and analysts—without changing existing hardware.
Why This Team
AUGUR was built by operators who lived the threat.
The founding team brings direct experience from high‑risk deployments, battlefield communications, and real‑time data systems.
This is not theoretical security. It is practical survival.
Why This Market
The drone threat is not cyclical.
It is structural.
As drones become cheaper and more capable, the demand for low‑latency, integrated defense will only increase—across military, critical infrastructure, and high‑profile civilian environments.
