Scout AI is a frontier AI lab building Fury, a vision-language-action foundation model that translates commander intent into coordinated autonomous action across mixed fleets of unmanned air, land, sea, and space systems. In April 2026 the company closed a $100M Series A — the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history — co-led by Align Ventures and Draper Associates, on the heels of $11M in DoD contracts and a public demonstration of a fully autonomous, end-to-end AI-executed strike mission.
