Skapion Native Counter-Swarm AI intercept system debuts at AUSA with $36 M seed round

Published 18 October 2026

Israeli-American firm Skapion presented its Native Counter-Swarm system at AUSA 2026. The system pairs small interceptor missiles with modular launch units and an AI-driven fire-control layer designed to detect, track, and engage multiple simultaneous drone targets. Skapion raised $36 million in a seed round backed by UP.Partners and Khosla Ventures to develop the concept, with the stated design goal of reducing the cost-exchange penalty of defeating mass swarm attacks.
