Delian builds autonomous systems for defence.

About Us

About Us

We focus on areas of critical tactical importance, such as surveillance and UAV operations.


We design our products to be significantly more cost effective and scalable than legacy systems. We also build them for resilience, only using commercial parts sourced from allied countries.

Our team has particular expertise in autonomous systems for GNSS-denied environments. The team comes from Apple’s Special Projects Group, Palantir, NASA JPL, CERN and the national security community.

Delian has offices in London and Athens.
