A new challenge is emerging as autonomous systems spread across the battlefield: coordinating disparate platforms toward a single mission without constant human direction. Austin-based NODA AI is moving fast to solve it. Less than a month after winning a $10-million Department of Defense contract to build MAESTRO — orchestration software tied to the Pentagon’s LUCAS attack drone program — the company has landed a follow-on contract worth 1- times as much: $100 million to scale its autonomous mission command software across the entire Joint Force.

ABOUT NODA AI

NODA AI is a defense technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas, delivering Mission Command for Autonomous Forces. NODA’s Software-Defined Effects (SDFX) engine projects and maintains commander’s intent across heterogeneous unmanned systems in contested, multi-domain environments, transforming fleets that are merely coordinated into a decisive force that executes a human intent across any vendor, any domain. NODA brings the largest network of integrated government and OEM platforms spanning every physical domain from subsurface to the stratosphere, including LUCAS, the Department of War’s attritable unmanned strike system, providing unified intent to any mixed-vendor, multi-domain fleet with no hardware onboard and no changes required from the manufacturer. Founded by Marine Corps veterans and AI practitioners, NODA’s mission is to make mission command for autonomous forces the decisive advantage for the warfighter.
