SE3 Labs, a Munich company that makes spatial intelligence software for autonomous systems, has closed a $30 million Series A round led by Accel, with Keen, Lakestar and Seedcamp taking part, the company announced.
According to SE3, its software runs on the devices themselves and merges the sensor data of drones and ground vehicles from different makers into a shared 3D picture of their surroundings. It steers drone swarms, choosing each one's route and position from its understanding of the terrain, and is meant to work when satellite navigation is disrupted. Operators can give it all commands by voice.
The company says it is focused on European defence for now, that its technology is already in use in Ukraine, and that it has delivered thousands of systems in the past two years while working on several contracts with Ukraine and the Bundeswehr. It names Hensoldt, Auterion and ERC System among its partners. The money is to grow its engineering, sales and operations teams in Germany and Ukraine and to open an office in the UK.
