Aeon
Aeon is an Austin-area defense manufacturer building low-cost, software-defined tactical missiles for U.S. and allied forces. Its flagship Zeus system is a modular, shoulder- or platform-launched guided mini-missile with swappable payloads, paired with ODIN autonomous targeting software. By vertically integrating propellant, rocket motors, fuzes and flight computers and leaning on 3D printing and AI-assisted production, Aeon aims to field precision weapons at a fraction of the traditional cost - tens of thousands of dollars per unit rather than hundreds of thousands to millions.
Naweed Tahmas
Naweed Tahmas is the founder and CEO of Aeon (Aeon Industrial), an Austin-area defense startup building Zeus, a software-defined, 3D-printed modular guided missile priced around $50,000 - a fraction of legacy tactical munitions. Before defense, he was a Special Assistant to the President and Associate Director in the Trump White House, coordinating policy and personnel across 15 federal agencies. Years earlier he was the combative vice president of the Berkeley College Republicans at the height of the 2017 campus free-speech battles, a fight he carried all the way to a DOJ-backed lawsuit. He has since traded the campus quad for a Cedar Park factory floor, where Aeon aims to turn out more than 10,000 missiles a year.
