Harmattan AI Autonomous Defense Systems

Harmattan AI is a French defense technology company headquartered in Paris, specializing in the development and industrial-scale manufacturing of autonomous military systems. Founded in April 2024 by Mouad M'Ghari, Martin de Gourcuff, and Edouard Rosset, the company has rapidly ascended to become France's first defense 'unicorn' following a significant Series B funding round in January 2026.

The company's product portfolio includes the Sonora ISR drone, the Gobi counter-UAS interceptor, and the Sahara radar payload. These systems are vertically integrated, meaning the company handles both the high-level AI software development and the physical manufacturing in-house to ensure scalability and sovereignty. Harmattan AI serves various NATO and allied forces, including the French and UK Ministries of Defence, providing mission-ready solutions for intelligence, surveillance, and electronic warfare.
