A Delaware-based U.S. company building AI-enabled counter-UAS detection software for national security.
Neura Defense Systems is a software-first counter-UAS company. Our sensor-agnostic platform fuses data from commercial radar, electro-optical/infrared, RF, and acoustic sensors and uses AI to detect, classify, and prioritize small-drone threats — including fiber-tethered and autonomous FPVs that defeat RF-based detection — then cues the operator to act, with a human on the loop. We provide the detection-and-decision layer and integrate with the countermeasures operators already field.
Built under Volantyx Aerospace, Inc.

Adversaries built mass-produced drones because they could out-economy any defender. We're closing the gap. Make persistent counter-UAS defense affordable, autonomous, and operationally sustainable.
Neurex — the fusion and decision core — ships first, because it runs on sensors customers already own. Every hardware tier that follows is a carrier for the same brain.
Multi-modal fusion, track custody, threat classification, tamper-evident audit, operator gating.
Edge compute node, enclosure, power — the carrier for the core.
Seven modalities operational in software; native pipelines brought onto our hardware.
The full-aperture integrated build — fixed-site or vehicle-mounted.
Patrol, Scout, Sentry — then Stations meshed into one air picture.
Station augmented with an integrated effector for customers who require defeat as well as detection. Subject to export-control review and applicable authorizations.
Every design decision trades cost, latency, and survivability against the operational reality of the warfighter. If it doesn't matter in the field, it doesn't ship.
Autonomy, not automation. The Neura Station decides on-node, in milliseconds, without a cloud round trip. Comms-denied environments are the threat model, not the exception.
Software licenses and support subscriptions compound across deployments. A model that scales with operational tempo instead of fighting against it.
A leadership team with deep experience in defense, technology, capital markets, and execution. Key technical and capture hires planned within six months of the bridge round.
Serial entrepreneur with 35+ years as investor and executive. Took three companies from $0 to IPO — Infrax Systems, Nuvus Corp, and CB Scientific — with combined market cap exceeding $630M. Achieved 10,000x ROI in crypto and blockchain. 20+ years of SEC and FINRA experience. Dual studies in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
A U.S. Air Force Major with prior enlisted Navy service, Paul brings over 20 years of military leadership across aviation maintenance and operational command — including senior roles overseeing high-tempo organizations of up to 800 personnel and multi-billion-dollar mission assets. He holds an active top-secret security clearance and applies a systems-driven approach to operational design and scaling. As Chief Operating Officer, he leads day-to-day operations and builds the company’s operating architecture and execution framework.
As Chief Technology Officer, John leads the build of the Neurex platform — multi-modal fusion, the decision and audit architecture, and the engineering roadmap that carries the software core onto the company’s hardware tiers.
Leads the company’s capital strategy and fundraising execution, with responsibility for investor relations, the capital roadmap, and financing structure. Curtis brings experience in capital formation and corporate operations, guiding Neura Defense from early financing through its growth rounds.
PhD in Marketing Science. Expert in research methods, statistical analysis, survey design, and data modeling. Brings rigorous, data-driven marketing and communications strategy to grow the Neura Defense brand and customer base.
Leads engagement with federal and defense program pathways. Responsible for identifying relevant opportunities, shaping proposals, supporting non-dilutive funding strategy, and building strategic relationships within key defense ecosystems — SOCOM, Army Futures Command, USMC, AFWERX, DIU.
Leads company-level growth strategy through market validation, strategic partnerships, and internal operating discipline. Responsible for refining company positioning, supporting partnership development, and establishing execution cadence.
Delaware-incorporated. Built to meet DoD, DHS, and FAA vendor requirements from day one.
Diversified AI-for-national-security holding company. Defense Systems is the counter-UAS operating unit.
Thirteen provisional patent applications filed, fourteen more in preparation — a 27-filing program. Trade-secret documentation and clean chain of title.
