In the next high-intensity conflict, the U.S. will not have time to surge production. We are building systems that can be produced affordably and fielded in quantity - now. Purple Rhombus designs and manufactures fixed-wing UAS built for mass production and operational use - not for showroom demonstrations. Our WASP family is designed from the outset for mass production - built with precision-formed metal airframes, modular architecture, and manufacturing processes that can deliver meaningful quantities today. We build aircraft the way warfighting equipment should be: repeatable processes, proven materials, and production lines that can scale - not boutique composites or fragile prototypes.

Durin builds and operates automated drill rigs to accelerate mineral discovery. Our modern way of life, from smartphones to skyscrapers, starts as ore in the ground. But mines dont simply appear. In fact, the exploration process required to find valuable ore is incredibly long and expensive. This is done by drilling hundreds of surgical holes into the earth to recover cylindrical core samples. Mining is a trillion-dollar industry, but the drills used to explore havent changed in nearly 100 years. Mines are becoming harder to find, which is a danger to the future of civilization. Our mission is to change that. The first step is mass production of automated drilling rigs to find more mines, faster. That is just the beginning. Weve brought together a mission-driven team of builders, scientists, and engineers reinventing how humanity finds the minerals it needs to survive. Coming onboard means taking on some of the hardest challenges of your life. Join a tight, no‑nonsense team where you’ll attack real engineering problems, ship hardware to the field, and help secure the resources our future depends on. Learn more at learn.durin.com
