AeroVironment to Acquire Tomahawk Robotics

AeroVironment said it is planning to acquire Tomahawk Robotics, a company that deals with AI-enabled robotic control systems.

“The acquisition will enable deeper integration of both companies’ technology, leading to enhanced interoperability and interconnectivity of unmanned systems through a singular platform with similar control features. This will ultimately enable warfighters to operate various connected robotic solutions in the battlefield and share information between multiple domains with one common controller,” the company said in an official release.

The two companies entered into a definitive agreement under which AeroVironment will acquire 100% of Tomahawk Robotics equity for a total purchase price of $120 million to be paid in a mix of cash and stock.

Tomahawk Robotics designed Kinesis Ecosystem, a tactical capability designed for the warfighter. At its heart lies Kinesis, an AI-enhanced and open architecture common control system that integrates the network of unmanned expeditionary vehicles, sensors, and third-party software onto a single pane of glass. The Kinesis Ecosystem delivers targeted situational awareness and precision strike capabilities for the human-machine teams across the battlespace.

Tomahawk Robotics’ Kinesis control system was integrated into AeroVironment’s small unmanned aircraft family of systems including Raven B and Puma 3 AE in 2022.
