Participated · Series A · May 2026
Arkeus designs AI-powered hyperspectral sensing systems that enable autonomous drones to detect targets up to eight times farther than existing military optical systems in degraded conditions. Its solution processes electromagnetic-spectrum signals in seconds using a 4kg cube form factor, compared with traditional room-sized equipment that can require day-long processing. Founded in 2020 in Melbourne, the company reports that about 80% of its revenue comes from the U.S. market and that it works with the U.S. Department of Defense as well as manufacturers including Boeing and Textron. After closing a $25 million Series A at a $100 million valuation, Arkeus plans to establish manufacturing in Queensland and the United States to scale production.
