Building a horde of tactical robots trained on gameplay. Starting with Spike: a swarming anti-drone system defending high-value targets.
About
Mara builds autonomous, short-range, AI-powered robotic defense systems. Our first product is Spike: a dirt-cheap air defense system which protects military equipment & critical infrastructure from simultaneous attack by dozens of jam-proof enemy drones. Unlike traditional cUAS, which is slow, expensive, and centralized, our system is fast, distributed, and built for frontline deployment. What makes us different? We train our autonomy in a video game—combining simulation-driven AI with player data to develop constantly adapting tactics.
