Boid Labs is building autonomous interceptor drones — low-cost airframes that detect and destroy hostile UAS.
[email protected] →A first-person-view drone costs a few hundred dollars. The radar-cued missiles, high-power microwave arrays, and crewed interceptors we currently use to stop them cost ten thousand to ten million times more per engagement. That math already broke defense in Ukraine. It will break it in every theater that matters to the U.S. this decade.
The only interceptor that's economical against a drone is another drone. Ukraine proved the concept under fire. No American company is yet producing interceptors at the cost and scale the threat requires.
The companies that define this category over the next decade are being formed now. We're building one of them.
Target detection, classification, and engagement happen onboard. No cloud, no uplink. The system has to work in GPS- and comms-denied environments where cloud-tethered counter-UAS fails.
Every design decision assumes tens of thousands of units, not hundreds. American supply chain. No exquisite components we can't make at scale.
Our airframes coordinate through local rules — the principle that gave the company its name. Lose one unit and the network reroutes; there is no command aircraft to take down.
Soldier and squad-level air defense. Man-portable launcher. The mission we're building toward first.
Vehicle- and convoy-integrated air defense. Shared airframe, vehicle-specific launcher.
Critical-infrastructure site defense. Airports, energy, bases, data centers, stadiums.
Our first target is the dismounted soldier. The same airframe extends to vehicle-mounted and fixed-site configurations as the product matures.
We are Dmitriy and Yotam. We know how to make hardware work.
We want to hear from potential customers, operators who've faced drone threats, investors in hard tech, and engineers who want to build hardware that matters.
