Praetorian Aeronautics

Praetorian Aeronautics is an Australian company that builds autonomous aerial systems. The site says it is proudly Australian. Its products include the Dagger counter drone interceptor and the Hadrian AI command and control system. The stated mission is to deliver scalable, AI enhanced autonomous systems that are modular and cost effective.

The Dagger is an autonomous interceptor for unmanned threats. The site says it launches and navigates to a target beyond visual range, even in degraded communications. It says Dagger systems confirm the strike outcome and send assessment data back to the command system.

Hadrian is an AI enhanced command and control system. It combines data from multiple sensor feeds to detect threats across air, land and maritime domains. It ranks several contacts by intent, range, payload and risk. It matches each target with the Dagger launcher in the right position.

The site lists a baseline detection range of 500 metres and a maximum range of 1,200 metres for its scanning mode. It describes sensor fusion and AI triangulation to find a threat's position and velocity in real time. The site says the systems support layered defence against swarms.

The site's enquiry form has four types: general, defence, careers and investment. It also has a page of open positions for engineers and innovators. The company describes its aim as giving allied forces faster response and better intelligence.

The site has a LinkedIn page and an X account. It lists a privacy policy and a notification feature. The site does not list a telephone number or a street address.
