Arkeus joins the Australian Defence Magazine Podcast to discuss hyperspectral AI sensing and expansion into Australia and the United States

Arkeus CEO Simon Olsen joined Grant McHerron on the Australian Defence Magazine Podcast to discuss our hyperspectral AI sensing systems and the next phase of our expansion across Australia and the United States.

In the episode, Simon covers the field experience that inspired Arkeus, how our hyperspectral optical radar systems work, and why autonomous platforms need sensing systems designed for AI from the ground up, not adapted from legacy hardware.

The conversation also explores our work with the Australian Army, contracts with the United States Department of War, integrations across major drone platforms, and the component sourcing and sovereign manufacturing considerations behind our technology.

Simon also discusses our A$25 million Series A raise and what comes next: scaling manufacturing, expanding our U.S. presence, and establishing advanced manufacturing capability in Queensland.

Thank you to Grant McHerron and Australian Defence Magazine for the conversation.
