# Scout AI

> Scout AI is a Silicon Valley defense-tech company building Fury, a Vision-Language-Action foundation model that turns unmanned robots - ground, air, sea, and space - into autonomous agents that perceive the world, understand natural-language commands, and act in GPS- and comms-denied environments. Founded in 2024 by Colby Adcock and Collin Otis, the company raised a $100M Series A in April 2026 (which it billed as the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history) after emerging from stealth in 2025 with a $15M seed and early Department of Defense contracts.

- **Founded:** 2024
- **Headquarters:** Sunnyvale, California, United States
- **Founders:** Colby Adcock (CEO & Co-Founder), Collin Otis (CTO & Co-Founder)
- **Team size:** ~34-48 employees

- **Notable:** Raised a $100M Series A in April 2026, described by the company as the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history, Booked ~$11M in Department of War contracts in its first year, Publicly demonstrated a fully autonomous, end-to-end strike mission executed by AI agents

## Products & services

- **Fury** — A defense-specific Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model - an embodied AI system that perceives the physical world, interprets natural-language commands, and issues real-time motor commands. Hardware-agnostic, runs on minimal hardware (a single camera and a low-power inference chip), and operates in GPS- and comms-denied environments. Enables robot-to-robot natural-language communication for swarm coordination.
- **Ox** — A C2-based (command-and-control) autonomous vehicle orchestrator that coordinates heterogeneous unmanned fleets and translates commander intent into synchronized action across platforms.
- **G01 / A01 prototypes** — Reference unmanned ground (G01) and aerial (A01) vehicles used to demonstrate Fury running on real hardware.
