Darkhive is a defense technology startup focused on developing open architecture Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) integrated with a secure software delivery system. The company aims to create an accessible situational awareness system for U.S.-allied military and public safety personnel by developing lightweight, short- and mid-range reconnaissance drones supported by a proprietary software continuous delivery platform called FleetForge. This platform is designed to build, scan, test, and securely deploy Department of Defense (DoD) accredited software to UAS, including secure updates, and ultimately enable comprehensive fleet and device management in the field. The funding will support the development of its product portfolio, expansion of resources for secured DoD contracts, and pursuit of new business opportunities.
