About Keres
Summary
Keres builds reusable unmanned jet interceptors for air defense. Its vehicle, the Garmur, launches on command, closes on targets at jet speed, identifies and destroys drones and cruise missiles, then returns to land and fly again. The system gives military commanders a fighter-class intercept capability at a fraction of the cost of crewed or single-use alternatives.
Go-to-market
Keres sells to military operators and defense procurement, led by a founding team with direct operator backgrounds in the U.S. defense sector.
From the Y Combinator listing
