Austere Aerospace, Inc.
Autonomous aircraft systems for the environments others can't reach.
Defense
Built for what matters: Organic, infrastructure-independent, ultra-long endurance capability for operators working in austere and contested environments. A two-person team can launch, operate, and recover the platform with no runway and minimal logistical footprint.
Commercial
Solutions for what's next: Ultra-long endurance for a Group II-class platform, delivering long-dwell aerial data collection for missions that don't have a runway to work with.
About
Austere Aerospace is developing unmanned aircraft systems designed to launch, operate, and recover without runways, fixed sites, or heavy logistics. Built for defense and commercial missions where the environment is the hardest part of the problem. The platform is designed around a minimal footprint: a two-person crew, no fixed infrastructure, and endurance built for long-dwell missions well beyond typical Group II expectations.
Founded and led by a team with backgrounds spanning military aviation, aerospace manufacturing, and quality systems leadership, based in the Pacific Northwest.
