Dual-use Doppler LiDAR and data platform that turn the sky into real-time wind and drone intelligence

Our Doppler LiDAR is in operational use with Japan’s Ministry of Defense, and we are working with the Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) on new development programs. In our Series B (August 2026), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries joined as a strategic investor, and we are now co-developing defense products together. We are turning that defense-grade track record into civil demand: wind-monitoring pilots and proposals are under way with railway, airport, and electric-utility operators, and we deliver real-time 3D wind fields over the greater Osaka area. Overseas, we maintain research collaborations with NASA and the University of Oklahoma, and are in early-stage discussions with international defense and aerospace companies on sensor integration.
