Featured Organization Spotlights

Meet organizations advancing Counter-UAS, AI, autonomy, sensing, and related defense technologies, with solutions addressing operational challenges and accelerating the transition to operational capability.

The Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF 401), reporting to the Deputy Secretary of War, is the U.S. Department of War (DoW)'s lead organization for Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS). It aligns authorities and resources to rapidly deliver Joint C-sUAS capabilities for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Groups 1, 2, and 3, strengthening sovereignty over the national airspace.

JIATF 401 synchronizes C-sUAS efforts across the DoW and the interagency to support a whole-of-government approach, reducing duplication, accelerating capability development and delivery, and rapidly fielding joint capabilities at scale. Its mission supports the defense of the homeland, the protection of U.S. and allied forces, critical infrastructure, and the delivery of capabilities to America's warfighters.

As the small UAS threat continues to expand in scale and sophistication, JIATF 401 provides centralized leadership for Department-wide C-sUAS efforts. Its transformation priorities emphasize speed, affordability, mobility, accountability, rapid integration into operational formations, and a threat-adaptive approach. By streamlining coordination and expanding execution authorities, JIATF 401 rapidly delivers capabilities that outpace the evolving threat.

Raytheon, an RTX Business, delivers combat-proven counter-UAS solutions trusted to defeat the full spectrum of unmanned threats. Raytheon systems have neutralized enemy drones in conflicts around the globe, providing customers with scalable, fielded, and highly producible capabilities built for today’s rapidly evolving threat environment. Raytheon’s C-UAS systems offer layered defense options tailored to the mission, including advanced sensing, kinetic and non-kinetic effectors, and directed energy.

At the Counter-UAS Accelerator, Raytheon will bring that expertise to a broader conversation about how industry can work together to address the evolving UAS threat. We look forward to engaging with operators, government, small businesses, and technology innovators to identify complementary capabilities, explore new partnerships, and accelerate promising technologies toward operational use. By combining Raytheon’s mission, integration, and fielding experience with innovation from across industry, we can help build adaptable, layered C-UAS architectures that integrate the best available capabilities and evolve as quickly as the threat.

Vantorix Systems develops autonomous and remotely supervised medical technologies designed to extend critical care into environments where traditional medical access is delayed, degraded, or impossible. The company focuses on integrating robotics, computer vision, sensing, and human-in-the-loop decision-making with unmanned aerial and ground platforms.

Vantorix’s lead system, RemIO, is a robotic vascular-access platform being developed to identify anatomical landmarks, position an intraosseous access device, and enable remote confirmation and intervention when a medic cannot immediately reach a casualty. The company is also developing broader autonomous casualty-care concepts, including ground-based evacuation and treatment architectures capable of supporting monitoring, stabilization, and medical payload integration.

Vantorix is focused initially on contested and austere environments, where drone warfare, prolonged evacuation, and denied access are creating new gaps in casualty care. Its mission is to build the medical hardware and autonomy required for unmanned systems to go beyond sensing and transporting, allowing machines to bring help one step further.

AeroGear Telemetry provides telemetry and data acquisition solutions for the defense and aerospace sectors, with a strong emphasis on building long-term relationships with military branches and defense contractors. The company represents data acquisition and telemetry products across mulitple sectors, including flight testing, space, and munitions. AeroGear collaborates with innovative partners such as OPTISYS, Quasonix, enDAQ, AstroNova, and FISICA, while also offering specialty vehicles and transit cases. Dynamic world events have led the company to expand into applications supporting Counter-UAS, hypervelocity munitions, autonomous vessels and aircrafts, and space-based assets of all types. Today’s needs are shifting toward smaller munitions designed to improve cost-exchange ratios, alongside the equally important C-UAS and Golden Fleet priorities.

Teaming Interest: AeroGear organized a team that received AFWERX STTR Phase I and Phase II awards for weather sensor development. The work focused on UAV/UAM operational capabilities at the critical elevation of 4,000 to 6,000 feet, where icing, turbulence, and flight safety are paramount to viable UAV/UAM operational planning and implementation. AeroGear also supported a small aerostat company in the area of LTA deployment. The company is interested in continuing to work with small businesses to develop proposals addressing autonomous platforms, C-UAS solutions, and related core capabilities that enable the warfighter to complete their missions. AeroGear seeks technical organizations capable of serving as the prime contractor on an SBIR, STTR, or BAA opportunity. AeroGear’s contribution would include high PWin components featured at AeroGear.us, along with knowledge of program offices and mission requirements.

Autonomy Oklahoma Symposium | September 15, 2026: rxrworldwide.com/autonomy-oklahoma

TruWeather Solutions delivers weather intelligence purpose-built for low-altitude airspace, where drones, Advanced Air Mobility, public safety, logistics, defense, and autonomous systems increasingly operate. We combine government, commercial, customer-owned, and proprietary weather data with high-resolution modeling, analytics, and operational decision tools to address gaps in traditional aviation weather coverage.

Through the V360 Weather Platform—available as a web application or through APIs—TruWeather provides real-time observations, mission-specific weather guidance, route risk intelligence, alerts, and decision-support tools that help operators identify viable flight windows, reduce weather-related delays, and improve mission reliability.

At the heart of our business model is a commitment to reliable science and scalable solutions that address the challenges operators face as low-altitude operations expand. Satellites and radar are important components of the weather ecosystem, but they cannot fully resolve many of the localized conditions that affect low-level aviation, including winds aloft, cloud ceilings, visibility, icing, wind shear, and turbulence.

V360 is designed to close those gaps. Its scalable, plug-and-play architecture integrates traditional weather data with specialized sensing and observation networks deployed where additional coverage is needed. The result is a unified weather intelligence platform that transforms complex environmental data into clear, actionable insights for operators, dispatchers, and airspace managers.
