Avalor AI

Avalor AI, founded in 2021, is a Dutch software company that develops artificial intelligence solutions for autonomous military systems. The company's flagship product, Nexus, is a hardware-agnostic AI platform that enables unmanned systems across air, land, and sea domains to autonomously plan, coordinate, and execute complex missions through a single human-machine interface. This technology allows for the integration and operation of unmanned systems from different original equipment manufacturers and countries, enhancing the efficiency and safety of military operations.

The Nexus platform digitizes command and control, allowing drones to perform tasks independently while collaborating with each other, even without continuous connection to a military unit. This autonomous capability is compared to human soldiers who can carry out operations without constant radio contact with a command center. The system is designed to work with various hardware components, integrating navigation, perception, and other technologies under Avalor AI's overarching software.

Avalor AI has been involved in several projects, including the SPEAR (Swarm-based Persistent Autonomous Reconnaissance) project for the Dutch Ministry of Defence. This project aims to develop an autonomous drone swarm for tactical intelligence collection, where a single operator can launch multiple drones that perform tasks independently and cooperatively. The company has also collaborated with partners such as Estonian ground robot manufacturer Milrem Robotics and Dutch drone manufacturer Deltaquad to showcase practical applications of their technology.

The company has conducted missions in Ukraine.

Key customers and partnerships

Avalor AI's primary customer is the Dutch Ministry of Defence. The company has collaborated with TNO, Delft Dynamics, and Tective Robotics on the SPEAR project for the Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS) unit of the 13th Light Brigade, a Dutch independent combat unit within the Royal Netherlands Army. Avalor AI has also worked with Milrem Robotics from Estonia and Deltaquad, a Dutch drone manufacturer, to demonstrate the practical applications of their technology.
