At Chariot Defense, were building the intelligent hardware and software infrastructure to solve the military’s most critical bottleneck: how energy is transformed, controlled, and distributed as power across the modern battlefield. Todays battlefield looks a lot different than 5 years ago. Autonomous drone swarms, sophisticated sensors, AI control rooms, and directed energy weapons — all reliant on noisy diesel generators or constantly idling vehicles. Our Amphora product line delivers silent, variable power specifically designed for distributed operations, electronic warfare, and autonomous systems at the tactical edge. With a deeply experienced team from Anduril, Uber, Tesla, and frontline military operations, were already fielded and proven with the Department of Defense. Ready to lead the charge?
