## About

Based in France, Harmattan AI SAS develops autonomous defense systems tailored to the fast-evolving demands of modern warfare, focusing on advanced technologies like unmanned aerial systems and counter-drone solutions.

Harmattan AI SAS, founded in 2024 by Mouad M’Ghari (CEO), Marc Grelet, Edouard Rosset, and Martin de Gourcuff in Paris, France, specializes in autonomous defense systems. In January 2026, Harmattan AI SAS venture funding led by Dassault Aviation, with participation from Bpifrance Investissement and Future French Champions.


Harmattan AI specializes in the development of autonomous defense systems that are scalable and mission-ready. Their core offerings include advanced Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) that integrate real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. These systems are equipped with modular and repairable features for flexible deployment. Harmattan AI also provides counter-UAS solutions to detect and neutralize hostile drones, primarily serving armed forces of liberal democracies and allied nations. Their products are marketed in regions including France, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, targeting military organizations and defense contractors. 


The company operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, engaging directly with military and defense organizations. Clients may enter multi-year contracts for UAS and counter-UAS technologies, typically involving significant upfront payments alongside ongoing support and maintenance agreements.
The company plans to use the January 2026 funding to support the development of its autonomous defense systems and accelerate the integration of AI and controlled autonomy technologies into combat aviation platforms.
