Company

Arlo Industries is building the sensing infrastructure layer for the drone age.

We build distributed passive optical sensing systems for tracking drones and missiles.

Our systems combine edge AI, optics, and distributed networking to create persistent aerial awareness without relying on traditional emitting radars.

We are a YC-backed defence tech startup operating across the US, Europe, and Ukraine.
