Overview
Israeli defense robotics company developing edge-AI robotic weapon systems and multi-drone command-and-control platforms, battle-tested by the IDF. Formerly known as eyesatop, Aitan rebranded in 2026 and pioneered the category of "robotic sovereignty-as-a-service" — giving governments and militaries a backbone to build autonomous forces with lessons from the Middle East and Eastern Europe already digested.
