Directed energy,
built for modern
air defense.
Archimedes brings sensing, tracking, and directed energy into one compact, autonomous counter-UAS platform.
Air defense has to scale.
Small UAS can be produced in volume. Archimedes is designed to add a directed-energy layer across fixed sites, mobile platforms, and wider air-defense architectures.
- Forces and installations
- Mobile and robotic platforms
- Critical infrastructure, within approved authorities
Intended mission contexts. Not a claim of current deployment.
One system. From sensing to effect.
Archimedes combines optical sensing, machine-learning-enabled autonomy, directed energy, and flexible power in a compact counter-UAS platform. Open interfaces support integration with wider command-and-control environments.
- AI-powered sensing
- Real-time detection and tracking
- Directed-energy effect
- Compact, power-flexible architecture
Tested. Integrated. Advancing.
Public demonstrations and integration milestones document the platform’s progress.

A partnership to advance integration of Archimedes with robotic combat vehicles.
Directed energy works as a system.
Sensing, autonomy, power, controls, and interfaces determine how directed energy fits a mission. Aurelius develops these elements together, with integration and operational constraints in view.
Strengthening the source behind the system.
Aurelius Manufacturing is building U.S. capacity for high-power fiber laser sources and optical assemblies. The division serves defense and industrial customers through a dedicated manufacturing business.
Systems in San Francisco. Manufacturing in Detroit.
Product engineering, autonomy, optics, testing, and domestic production shape one connected company. Each discipline helps turn technical learning into systems that can be built and supported.
Make directed energy deployable.
Work across optics, autonomy, software, hardware, test, and production. Help advance Archimedes and the industrial capability behind it.
