Aitan announces $41m. raise, along with a new identity and mission for sovereign robotic warfare

Aitan has re-emerged under a new name with a broader ambition: to build robotic warfare systems for allied countries and expand what it calls “robotic sovereignty-as-a-service.” The company, formerly known as eyesAtop, announced a $41 million financing round co-led by Deep33 and Dell Technologies Capital.

The new investment brings Aitan’s total funding to $54 million. It will finance further product development, faster international growth and an expanded global team as the company responds to growing customer demand.

The rebrand reflects Aitan’s move beyond its original role as a multi-drone operating system provider. It now develops edge-AI robotic weapon systems designed for modern battlefields, where forces must be produced at scale, function in contested electromagnetic environments and adapt continuously as fighting changes.

Aitan’s founders, Udi Oster and Daniel Almog, are former officers in the Israel Defense Forces’ 8200 Unit and previously co-founded Tapingo. The company’s mission became personal after Hamas’s October 7 attack, when their friend Or Levy was kidnapped from the Nova music festival and Oster’s younger brother, Eitan, was killed during Israel’s ground operation in Lebanon. The company took its new name in his honor.

We built Aitan because we had no choice. Our friends and family went to war, and we were determined to build what could bring them home.

“We built Aitan because we had no choice. Our friends and family went to war, and we were determined to build what could bring them home,” Almog said. He added that the company had developed battlefield-tested technology and wanted to place it with allies that needed it.

Aitan says most autonomous systems still rely on separate controllers and interfaces, often requiring one operator for each platform. Its system combines drones from different manufacturers and turns them into a unified force. One operator can control multiple drones conducting different missions across different battlefields, while the platform helps connect sensors and weapons in real time.

The company says it continually improves the technology through operational feedback from reservists and veterans with combat experience.

Three years later, we've developed decisive battlefield technology, proven in combat, and we're on a mission to put these capabilities in the hands of the allies that need them.
