Aeon

We’re grateful to have had Jim be a part of our journey since day one. He’s opened countless doors for us — just at the shop he fired off 5 intros in 5 minutes! Every new defense company should start with him and his office at Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). He’s a true champion of innovation and the warfighter. Thanks for stopping by, Jim! Let’s keep building.

We're excited to welcome David Campbell as Aeon's Lead Aerodynamics Engineer! With almost a decade of experience as a lead engineer on advanced missile and weapons programs, David brings invaluable expertise and experience to the team to continue to drive innovation.

Big news from Aeon. https://lnkd.in/gXPfpy8N

The U.S. faces an urgent need for rapid, scalable missile production to maintain peace through strength. Aeon makes it possible to produce ‘small, smart, cheap, and many’ solutions at scale across critical defense domains.?I'm proud to support Naweed Tahmas & Joe Cieslik as they drive this mission forward.

Today, we hear from Joe Cieslik (Co-Founder & COO of Aeon) and Naweed Tahmas (Co-Founder & CEO of Aeon) on how tech companies are bringing much-needed competition to the production of weapons systems. https://lnkd.in/gEhs-FJc - The war in Ukraine, entanglements in the Middle East, and potential conflicts in Taiwan have revealed shortfalls in US weapons systems and structural vulnerabilities in our defense base. - To deter future conflicts with powerful, nuclear-armed adversaries, America’s defense force is modernizing to produce weapons systems more quickly, in greater numbers, and more cost-effectively. - Tech innovators are building autonomous, software-driven systems and using non-traditional approaches to manufacturing and supply chains. #venturecapital #quietcapital #nationaldefense #aeon

We’re excited to be opening our newest office in the FISTA Innovation Park! FISTA is a world-class defense innovation hub located near Fort Sill, bringing together both new and established defense companies, along with DoD and government partners, to develop cutting-edge capabilities for the warfighter. We’re looking forward to helping grow the ecosystem and expanding our team in Oklahoma!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week for the Aeon/Umbra/Cubit Capital Happy Hour during Fed Supernova! An incredible evening of meaningful conversations and connections among great founders, investors, and government officials, all committed to advancing national defense. Until next time, let's keep building! ??: King Kel P./Umbra

Aeon had the great opportunity of sitting down with Army Special Forces veteran Mark Buonforte for his Defense Tech Spotlight. Topics discussed include the current munitions shortage, how China is retrofitting 70s-era weapon systems to build up mass, and Aeon's approach to developing scalable precision missile systems. Check out the full article below!

Aeon had the honor of meeting with the Hon. Dr. Kevin Rudd AC, Australia’s Ambassador to the US, on building the next-generation of advanced precision missile systems in Australia. Providing allies with new sovereign capabilities that strengthen their defense base and address the tyranny of distance is critical to advancing US and allied defense. A special thank you to Sarah Nguyen and Mat C. of the Australian Embassy for setting this up. They’ve set the gold standard for creating the front door on transitioning advanced new defense capabilities from the US to Australia ????????

Aeon is finalizing testing and delivery of a handheld kinetic kill solution that fires rounds in a dispersed pattern over long ranges to destroy incoming drones. They will no longer have to rely on rifles and shotguns, which are ineffective against fast moving drones. More updates to follow soon.
