Summary by Marcus Reyes · October 21, 2026
Stellios Technologies, based in Austin, Texas, emerged from stealth with a $5 million pre-seed funding round. The company reports $2 million in signed purchase orders for its first product line: high-power microwave systems designed for counter-drone defense and industrial uses.
Microwave systems are one of several approaches to stopping drones, alongside jamming, interceptor drones and other methods. Stellios says it will use the funding to build its contracted systems and set up research and pilot manufacturing in the U.S.
