AnsuR
Founder Harald Skinnemoen
Category Enabling technologies
Location Fomebu, Norway
Product

AnsuR helps users communicate high precision visual content using a minimum of bandwidth. AnsuR software allows the receiver of audio-visual content to interact with the original data at the sender side, and focus network resources on sending operationally relevant content. Additionally, video encoders can adapt the rate of coding to unknown network capacity, using feedback from the receiver and finally allows senders to be connected to several types of networks simultaneously. Solutions specifically support mobile satellite communications.

Whitefox Defense Technologies
Founder Luke Fox
Category Defense
Location San Luis Obispo, CA
Product

WhiteFox produces drone detection and mitigation products to protect infrastructure, defense, public use areas, and homeland security sectors. WhiteFox verifies the identity of friendly, reckless, or malicious drones and manages drone fleets in real time. Their mobile & stationary solutions allow users to land or reroute targeted threats by automatically taking control of the drone & locking the original pilot out.

Natilus
Founder Aleksey Matyushev, Anatoly Starikov, LZ Zhang
Category
Location Richmond, CA
Product

Natilus is building and operating an amphibious freight drone capable of transporting goods worldwide at 50% the cost of traditional air-shipping methods. The Natilus amphibious drone has a blended wing body capable of carrying up to 100 tons and operates routes up to 30 hours at just below transonic speeds. Natilus is fully autonomous and doesn’t require a cockpit or heavy and complex life control systems such as pressurization and emergency escape routes. These simplifications reduce estimated manufacturing costs from $250MM for a Boeing 777 down to $50MM for a Natilus.

Crypta Labs
Founder Joe Luong
Category Enabling technologies
Location London, UK
Product

Crypta Labs has developed a suite of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) capable of solving a variety of randomness requirements including latency reduction, anti vibration, temperature fluctuation and radiation. Crypta’s latest patent can generate Quantum Enhanced RNG in excess of 1TB bps. The 1TB QRNG patent was designed to seed encryption for QKD in quantum satellite communications.
