AI-Enabled Systems for the Next Battlespace

Evolved Aerospace designs autonomous mission platforms capable of adaptive flight, data fusion, and real-time coordination. From the Muotse M200 and M400 to the SkyGhost system, its aircraft combine AI, sensor fusion, and electronic warfare capabilities to operate safely and effectively in high-threat environments.

Built for teaming and interoperability, these systems can collaborate with other UAVs or crewed aircraft, sharing data in real time to enhance mission performance and situational awareness. Each platform is designed for scalability, modular payload integration, and autonomy at the tactical edge.

Dual-Use Technology, Global Reach

Evolved’s technology bridges defense precision with commercial adaptability. Its dual-use systems support missions ranging from border and maritime security to environmental monitoring and emergency response.

With operations spanning the UK, U.S., Sweden, and Ukraine, and partnerships across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, the company has established itself as a trusted partner for allied defense and aerospace agencies. Collaborations with organizations such as Pindad (Indonesia) and SAMI (Saudi Arabia) demonstrate its ability to deploy advanced capabilities through localized manufacturing and rapid technology transfer.

Intelligent Autonomy for Global Security

For Sway Ventures, Evolved Aerospace reflects the future of defense innovation: AI-driven, modular, and mission-ready. By combining autonomy, data fusion, and human-machine collaboration, Evolved is creating the systems that will secure and sustain tomorrow’s aerial domain.

Taveniku’s message at Sway Minds was clear — the next generation of air power will be defined not by size or speed, but by intelligence, adaptability, and trust in autonomous systems.
