Scout AI
Foundation model for unmanned warfare and multi-robot autonomy
About Scout AI
Scout AI is a Sunnyvale, California frontier AI lab for unmanned warfare building Fury, a Vision-Language-Action foundation model that translates commander intent into coordinated autonomous action across heterogeneous air, land, sea and space robots at the tactical edge. Founded in 2024 by CEO Colby Adcock and CTO Collin Otis, Scout focuses on the AI reasoning layer rather than hardware manufacturing, and has demonstrated end-to-end autonomous strike missions executed by AI agents alongside Ox, its C2-based autonomous vehicle orchestrator; the company reported booking about $11 million in Department of War contracts in its first year. After emerging with a $15 million seed, Scout raised an oversubscribed $100 million Series A in April 2026 co-led by Align Ventures and Draper Associates, with Decisive Point, Booz Allen Ventures, BVVC, Neman Ventures, Evolution VC Partners, Heraclitus Capital Management, Sigmas Group, Disruptive Founders Fund and Vaughn Capital Partners, to scale foundational military AI and multi-agent collaboration.
