The Fourth Law raised funding with Axon among the investors

The Fourth Law secured funding, with Axon among the investors. Its autonomy modules let drones and other robotic platforms keep working in GPS-denied conditions and under electronic interference, using onboard AI in place of a remote pilot for the final stage of a flight.

We backed The Fourth Law because autonomy is the decisive capability for unmanned systems once the link to the operator goes down.

Ukrainian manufacturers including Vyriy now mass-produce drones with TFL-1 built in.
