Скачать или смотреть Inside Tiberius Aerospace With CSO Andy Baynes

Tiberius Aerospace wants to change how we build and field weapons. I spoke with Andy Baynes, chief strategy officer and co-founder. He comes out of Apple and Nest, then time in Ukraine building an AI company. He has seen fast hardware cycles up close. He is now trying to bring that pace to defense.

The first line is concrete. Tiberius’ initial innovation was a liquid fuel ramjet missile that launches from a howitzer. They’ve also built a solid fuel ramjet with guidance and a stated 200 kilometer reach. Both sit inside an open architecture. Thanks to their Generative Real-Time Artificial Intelligence Lethality (GRAIL) technology, parts can be swapped, tested, certified, then pushed into production on tight cycles. If a better piece shows up from a third party, it should slot in without drama. Further, thanks to Baynes’ experience at Apple, he knows how to make software ecosystems that allow the weapons to modified in the field in real time.

Baynes calls this a design and delivery model that keeps the best engineers on program. That is normal in phones and cameras. In defense, it still feels rare. The aim is simple, field a working round today, build the next one at the same time, and repeat. Ukraine’s front shows why. Electronic warfare shifts week to week.
