Overview

Problem We dominate in the air and at sea — but on the ground, $500 drones outmaneuver warfighters still aiming by hand. In close combat, even elite shooters miss — and that’s where we lose the advantage.

Solution ZeroMark adds real-time auto-aiming to rifles and weapon stations, physically steering the weapon like a gimbal so shooters stay on target — without changing how they operate or when they fire.

Field Validation Live-fire validated at TREX 25, L-SHORAD, and Red Sands Hard Kill.

Technology Maturity (TRL) TRL 7 — integrated into fielded weapons and proven on rifles, crew-served platforms, and vehicle-mounted systems in live-fire conditions.

Strategic Advantage ZeroMark requires no change to doctrine or behavior. Operators aim and fire as always. Our dataset enables real-time target segmentation — hitting motors, batteries, or electronics for maximum kill probability. No other system combines human-in-the-loop control with automated precision.

Go-to-Market Access Engaged via AFWERX SBIR Phase III, JUON deployments, and OTs. Active with SOCOM, AFSOC, NSWC, and allied MODs. Integrating with primes on RWS and mobile C-UAS platforms.

Dual-Use Potential Law enforcement, VIP security, infrastructure defense, and hunting safety — anywhere precise firearm use under pressure is critical.

Team Founded by MongoDB’s former CISO. Team includes Tier 1 operators, ex-Meta and Google AI leads, and BD leaders from Anduril. Tactical depth meets technical execution.

Competitive Landscape Smart Shooter gates the trigger. ZeroMark moves the weapon. We deliver physical auto-aiming with the shooter in control.

Primary User Dismounted gunners & crew-served teams responsible for drone defeat and force protection.

User-Critical Problem When drones appear, gunners have seconds to aim and shoot. Under stress, they miss. ZeroMark keeps them locked on target and alive.
