Aquila is a Sydney-based deep tech startup developing optical power-beaming systems. Its flagship product, Lightway Sentry, is a wireless energy product that uses optical power beaming to charge a drone in flight so it can remain airborne indefinitely. The company is preparing to 'leave the nest' with Lightway Sentry, signaling near-term product progress or deployment. Aquila announced a follow-on $2 million funding round led by Alua Group with participation from existing investors Blackbird and Icehouse Ventures. This follow-on comes about a year after the group's $3 million seed round announced in June 2023. The fundraising was announced on the company's LinkedIn page.
