Harmattan AI

Autonomous systems are reshaping the future of air combat. Together, Dassault Aviation and Harmattan AI have successfully demonstrated an in-flight collaborative engagement between a Rafale F4 and an unmanned aerial system equipped with NAMIB, a new electronic warfare payload jointly developed by both companies. This milestone is part of the strategic partnership between Dassault Aviation and Harmattan AI and contributes to defining the future of collaborative air combat. Link in the comments.

One year ago, Harmattan AI signed its first Program of Record with France. Today, that trust has been renewed. Following the successful delivery of 1,000 Sonora systems and their deployment during Orion 2026, France's DGA - Direction générale de l'armement has increased procurement volumes fivefold, ordering an additional 5,000 systems to support future autonomous unmanned operations. This renewed Program of Record reflects confidence in our ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver operationally relevant capabilities at the speed required by modern warfare. We are proud to continue supporting Ministère de la Défense and its armed forces as a trusted long term partner. Link in the comments.

It was a privilege to welcome Secretary Dan Driscoll at Eurosatory. We established Harmattan Industries in the United States to build a long term presence and advance autonomous and mission ready capabilities for the U.S. defense community. As threats continue to evolve, armed forces require solutions that can be deployed quickly, integrated seamlessly, and produced at scale. Ensuring that innovation translates into real operational systems for those who serve remains at the core of what we do. We are proud to be building our presence in the United States and contributing to the future of American defense. Thank you to Secretary Driscoll for taking the time to visit our team.

Today, I’m honored to announce that I have accepted the role of CEO of Harmattan Industries, Inc., the US arm of Harmattan AI. Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to organizations that challenge convention, embrace innovation, and pursue bold ideas with the potential to reshape entire industries. Harmattan embodies that spirit. We are living through one of the most transformative periods in human history. Artificial intelligence is no longer a future possibility—it is becoming a foundational force that will redefine how we work, create, solve problems, and unlock opportunity. The organizations that succeed in this new era will be those that combine technological excellence with a clear sense of purpose. That is what excites me most about Harmattan. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me by our founders and leadership team, including Mouad M., Jean-Patrice Coste and Lucile Poivert. Most importantly, I am excited to work alongside an exceptional team in the US including Amy Alfier Halm, Connor Gansrow, Robert Reed and Callie Groth. We will be establishing our US HQ in #Austin. The next chapter starts now. We have ambitious goals, significant opportunities and important work ahead. I couldn't be more excited for the journey. #HarmattanAI #ArtificialIntelligence #Leadership #Innovation #Technology #cuas #defense #FutureOfAI

Today, Harmattan AI announces a major strategic partnership with the Forces Armées Royales (FAR) - MAROC. This long-term collaboration will support the development of Morocco's sovereign defense industrial base through local manufacturing, advanced AI research and development, and partnerships with Moroccan higher education and research institutions. At Eurosatory, our CEO and Co-founder, Mouad M., met with Mr. Abdellatif Loudyi, Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of National Defense Administration of the Kingdom of Morocco, underscoring a shared commitment to strengthening sovereign defense capabilities and advancing technological leadership in an increasingly complex security environment. We are proud to support Morocco's vision and contribute to building the autonomous forces of tomorrow. Link in the comments.

After more than 7 incredible years with Palantir developing business across the GCC region, I'm thrilled to announce my next chapter: joining Harmattan AI as General Manager, building and leading the Morocco subsidiary from the ground up. Harmattan AI is a defense technology company at the forefront of building autonomous forces. We're opening our office in Morocco for a simple reason: the talent is exceptional, the supply chain runs deep, and the defense industrial base is growing fast. Some of the most advanced defense technology in the world is about to be built here, with R&D, engineering, manufacturing and field operations all under one roof. We're hiring 50+ people in the coming months. Engineers first — and not only: ops, finance, program and field roles. This is a chance to put Moroccan talent at the frontier of defense technology. If that's the work you want to do, I want to hear from you. Apply here or reach out to me directly: https://lnkd.in/eUa2Hi4g

From concept to capability, autonomous forces demand relentless engineering. Pierre-Louis leads Validation at Harmattan AI, where testing, verification, and iteration are essential to transforming advanced robotics into operational systems. As we continue to grow, we're looking for talented engineers and builders ready to develop the future of autonomous defense capabilities. Our Talent Acquisition team will be at Eurosatory 2026 to connect with candidates interested in joining the mission. https://lnkd.in/ePE6rpzh

Join the Mission. The future of defense will be shaped by those willing to tackle the hardest challenges. Meet Olivier, Computer Vision Engineer at Harmattan AI, and hear what drives him to build autonomous systems designed for the realities of modern warfare. Behind every breakthrough is a team committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Ready to make an impact? Join us.  https://lnkd.in/ePE6rpzh

Built for mission readiness. Harmattan AI will exhibit at Eurosatory 2026, engaging with armed forces and defense leaders to present autonomous military systems designed to operate as integrated forces. From autonomous platforms deployed in the field to the intelligence that commands them in real time, Harmattan AI enables coordinated action across missions and operational environments. Let’s talk mission success. See you there. 📍 Paris Nord Villepinte, France | June 15-19, 2026 https://lnkd.in/eZx7ybS7

Advancing operational edge through autonomy. Harmattan AI will exhibit at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, FL, engaging with U.S. and allied forces to present autonomous mission systems designed for real world operations. SOF Week marks an important step in Harmattan AI’s engagement with the U.S. defense ecosystem, supporting mission readiness with systems engineered for speed and autonomy at the tactical edge.
