Our Story
In 2015, inspired by the challenges he saw while serving overseas, former Navy SEAL Brandon Tseng returned home from his last deployment with an audacious goal: to employ artificial intelligence to protect service members and civilians.
Brandon had witnessed firsthand how challenging missions could become due to a lack of information and intelligence. He theorized that the application of artificial intelligence could be revolutionary in clearing the fog of war -- and in making a difference in protecting the lives of the service members he served alongside and the civilians he encountered within conflict zones.
