ABOUT KOMIKAZE

BUILT FOR THIS MOMENT

The world changed. Cheap drones rewrote the rules of warfare. We're writing the next chapter.

The immune system of the free world.

THE THESIS

Defense Is Broken. We're Fixing It.

The $2 trillion global defense industry was built for a world that no longer exists. We're building for the world that does.

Defense spending is $2T/year globally — built for threats that no longer exist.

Modern conflicts proved that $400 drones defeat $10M systems. The math is brutal and irreversible.

The winner isn't who builds the best weapon. It's who builds the best factory + the best AI.

We're building both. Simultaneously. At a pace defense has never seen.

WHY NOW

The Window Is Open

Five things became true simultaneously. That's never happened before. It won't last.

AI models crossed the capability threshold for real-time autonomous operation.

3D printing + commodity electronics made $200 interceptors physically possible.

Edge compute (40 TOPS) fits inside a drone that costs less than a laptop.

The Pentagon's $100M drone swarm challenge proves the DoD is ready to buy.

The market is proven. Billion-dollar defense factories are being built. We're going 100x cheaper and 100x faster.

THE TEAM

The DNA

We don't list names. We're too early and too busy. But here's what we're made of.

DARPA Program Managers

People who know what the DoD actually needs — not what contractors tell them they need.

Frontier AI Researchers

From the labs building the most capable models on Earth. They build AI that thinks at machine speed.

Defense Manufacturing Engineers

They built the systems we're replacing. They know exactly where those systems break.

Combat Veterans

They understand what it means when defense fails. That urgency is in everything we build.

PRINCIPLES

How We Operate

These aren't aspirations. They're constraints. Every decision gets filtered through them.

SPEED OVER PERFECTION

Ship fast. Iterate from real data. The 80% solution today beats 100% in 3 years. Wars don't wait for your roadmap.

COST IS A WEAPON

$200 units produced at 500/day. When your interceptor costs less than their drone, the economics of attack become impossible.

AI-NATIVE, NOT AI-ASSISTED

The AI doesn't help humans make decisions. Humans set intent. AI executes. Millisecond response times, not minutes.

THE MESH OVER THE NODE

Individual drones are expendable. The network is immortal. Kill one, the swarm adapts. Kill ten, it gets smarter.

STRENGTH IS DETERRENCE

The best war is the one that never happens — because the cost of aggression is infinite.

Join the Hive

We're hiring people who build things that matter.

Engineers who ship. Researchers who deploy. Veterans who refuse to accept "good enough" when lives are on the line. If you want to build the most consequential defense technology of this generation, we want to talk.
