Cambridge, MA – [June 4, 2026] – Tycho.AI, a pioneer in high-performance edge autonomy for contested environments, today announced it has officially secured Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 accreditation. This certification validates the company’s implementation of rigorous cybersecurity standards and ongoing commitment to safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), meeting the strict security standards of the U.S. Department of War (DoW).

Tycho.AI, a pioneer in high-performance edge autonomy, today announced an 18-month, $2 million Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) contract award from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to accelerate the development and deployment of resilient navigation and autonomous solutions for the modern battlefield.

Earlier this month, Tycho.AI successfully validated its high-speed Halley Group 1 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) uncrewed aerial system (UAS) during testing at the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering’s (OUSW R&E) Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) 26-2 event at Camp Atterbury, IN. The demonstrations showcased both Halley’s flight dynamics and its C-UAS and one-way attack capabilities.

Tycho.AI, a pioneer in autonomous intelligence in denied and contested environments, today announced the launch of Halley—a Group 1 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) uncrewed aerial system (UAS). Halley represents a new class of tactical drones, capable of speeds exceeding 200 mph with over 40km range. 

Since the early days of the Ukrainian conflict, there has been much discussion on the evolution of modern warfare. Though sophisticated technologies and multi-million-dollar cruise missiles still play a role in how we fight, there has been a fundamental shift toward strategic, attritable, one-way attack systems–often in large numbers.

Tycho.AI, a defense technology leader in autonomous navigation and edge autonomous intelligence in contested environments, today announced that it has achieved “Awardable” status through the Department of War (DoW) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
