AirKamuy Inc., a developer of fixed-wing drone solutions, has raised 100 million yen in a pre-seed round of funding, including a third-party allotment of new shares to ANOBAKA No. 3 Investment Limited Partnership, Sparkle No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership, and STATION Ai Central Japan No. 1 Investment Limited Partnership, as well as loans from the Bank of Nagoya and the Japan Finance Corporation.
AirKamuy’s mission is to “provide scalable and sustainable solutions for global conflict deterrence,” and the company develops and provides services for fixed-wing drones, including the Σ-1, a fixed-wing VTOL* unmanned aircraft that can cover a wide area.
In today’s increasingly uncertain security environment, there is a growing need for unmanned assets.
Furthermore, with a shortage of airline pilots becoming an issue, the Maritime Safety Agency is also looking forward to the emergence of solutions that reduce manpower.
