Red 6
Founder Daniel Robinson, Glenn Snyder, Nick Bicanic
Category Defense
Location Santa Monica, CA
Product

Red 6 has developed the world’s only augmented reality ecosystem that works outdoors and in high- speed, dynamic environments, with an initial focus on the in-vehicle military training market, including for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, ships, and ground vehicles. Red 6’s modular and fully scalable approach allows warfighters to train realistically against any adversary (both real or imagined), as individuals, in numbers as a single service, or in a joint capacity including the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines.

Delfox
Founder Maxime Rey, Alice Memang
Category Defense
Location Mérignac, France
Product

Delfox combines symbolic AI and reinforcement learning to obtain non-deterministic systems for mobile and autonomous systems (drones, road vehicles etc.), industrial systems (robotic arms, production chains etc.), and virtual training systems/simulation environments. Delfox is developing AI algorithms for trajectory analysis & prediction and flying object identification and has created a product that can observe space from Earth, detect satellites visually or debris through their light signature and identify their trajectory from Earth with optical sensing.

Orbital Sidekick
Founder Dan Katz, Tushar Prabhakar
Category Space
Location San Leandro, CA
Product

Orbital Sidekick uses unique space-based hyperspectral imaging and analysis to prevent oil & gas leaks through early detection and monitoring. OSK’s analytics platform converts hyperspectral data into actionable information for optimizing safety while also achieving compliance obligations. Orbital Sidekick developed the most compact hyperspectral sensor to collect hundreds of narrow contiguous color bands from visible light through infrared, providing unique chemical fingerprints for each pixel in the data set. OSK’s high-frequency sensor system has been deployed on the ISS in partnership with the US Air Force and is performing monitoring for the energy and defense sectors.

ZeroAvia
Founder Valery Miftakhov
Category Aviation
Location Hollister, CA
Product

ZeroAvia develops a hydrogen-electric aircraft propulsion system that is zero-emission and slashes operational costs common to traditional combustion engines by reducing fuel expenses and costly maintenance. ZeroAvia converts clean hydrogen produced through electrolysis and renewable energy to electricity using best-in-class fuel cells.
