About

Tenet Industries is building low-cost, mass-manufacturable strike drones. We have developed our own HW and SW platform optimized for automated manufacturing, enabling hyperscaling of production across multiple defense categories (FPV, fixed-wing, shahed-type, missiles). We're using design-for-manufacturing and first principles to reimagine how a defense product is developed and manufactured. Our first product is a kamikaze quadcopter.
