Company Overview

Scout AI is a defense technology company founded in August 2024 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California. The company builds AI foundation models that enable autonomous operation of unmanned military platforms across ground, air, maritime, and space domains. Scout AI focuses exclusively on defense and national security applications, developing software that allows a single warfighter to command multiple autonomous robots through plain natural language or voice input.

Scout AI's primary product is Fury, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model for defense robotics. Fury takes real-time camera input — either standard RGB or thermal imagery — combined with natural language or voice commands and outputs direct motor control signals to unmanned platforms. The model is designed to operate in GPS-denied and communications-denied environments where conventional autonomous systems typically fail. Fury is compatible with commercial off-the-shelf hardware; a single camera stream is sufficient to enable autonomous operation, lowering integration barriers for existing defense platforms. The model supports one-to-many coordination: one operator commanding a squad of heterogeneous autonomous systems through conversational instructions rather than manual teleoperation.

The company also offers Ox, a command-and-control orchestrator for autonomous vehicle coordination. Scout AI publicly demonstrated a fully autonomous end-to-end strike mission executed by AI agents during its first year of operations.

Scout AI was co-founded by Colby Adcock (CEO), a former technology private equity executive and board member at Figure AI, and Collin Otis (CTO), previously founding engineer and Director of Autonomy and AI at Kodiak Robotics and Head of Data Science at Uber ATG. The team has grown to approximately 34 to 40 employees.

The company raised a $15 million seed round in April 2025 led by Align Ventures and Booz Allen Ventures, followed by a $100 million Series A in April 2026 led by Align Ventures and Draper Associates, with co-investors including Decisive Point, Booz Allen Ventures, BVVC, and several other defense-focused funds — totaling approximately $115 million raised. In its first year Scout AI booked $11 million in U.S. Department of Defense contracts and won the U.S. Army xTechOverwatch Competition.
