Build. Drone defence. College dropout. Techno-optimist. @ArmoryShield

[Amardeep Singh @singhamardeep]

Sovereign Defence. Nothing less.

We did not get here by talking. We got here because a small team burnt the midnight oil bent over oscilloscopes, RF benches, soldering stations, and FPGA toolchains, building things from first principles when it would have been easier to import them.

This contract matters but what it represents matters more: that Sovereign Defence capability is not a slide in a deck anymore. It is a deliverable, on a PO, with a delivery schedule.

This changes nothing about how we work tomorrow morning. The next system still has to be designed, debugged, qualified, shipped.

To the early investors who wrote cheques on conviction, before defence in India was a fashionable thesis, and who understood that this work does not move on consumer timelines - a big thank you!

If you build things on hard mode, if you want to contribute to building Sovereign Defence, we are hiring across the stack. Reach out.

Breaking: Armory has won a ₹100 Cr order from the Ministry of Defence and Surge is going to the frontlines.

We are officially an Indian Defence Manufacturer and we're not going to pretend to be cool about this. We're proud. Really, really proud.

Built from zero. 20+ trials. Took notes from the soldiers who'd actually use it. Went back. Enhanced it. And won MoD’s trust in us.

To the frontlines. Surge is ready. 🇮🇳

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

Armory is officially a manufacturer for the Indian Defence Forces...
..and we can't stop saying this sentence out loud.
In service of Bharat 🇮🇳

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

2 years of product evolution in 30 seconds.

Whiteboard sketches. Prototypes. 20+ trials. Soldier feedback. Sleepless nights - all culminating into a contract from the Ministry of Defence.

SURGE is headed for the frontlines.
and this is just the beginning. 🇮🇳

Anatomy of a drone - Bayraktar.
A 🧵:

Built by someone who wasn't a defence contractor but an MIT graduate student whose father-in-law happened to be the President of Turkey.

Selçuk Bayraktar built the TB2 almost against the grain of how great weapons are supposed to be made. Nobody saw it coming, and that was the point.

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

Current war economics are disproportionate and conventional.

The math of these modern conflicts barely adds up. Crores to defend. Thousands to just dismantle it.

We, the folks at Armory, are not okay with that.
If you want comfort, this isn’t it.
If you want impact and work with a high agency and low tolerance for mediocrity, come build where it actually matters.
Where we create products like SURGE that challenge standards of defence systems, and raise them.

Catch our founder, @singhamardeep, at the @OfficialINDIAai tomorrow.

He will be speaking on how Armory leverages AI in Surge and our plans to build an intelligent air defence for the new era of warfare using AI.

See you at the summit tomorrow!

Drone ID-based detection sucks.
Here's a breakdown on why it is a system designed to trick you into believing it works.
It works, but not on the drones you actually need to worry about.

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

Not your regular off-the-shelf jammer. Surge was built in India from the ground up, from design to the tiniest screw and solder, engineered into a battle-ready counter-drone system, created with the front-liners in mind.

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

Come to think of it, Surge has travelled more than the engineers who built it. 🤔

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

Seriously. Why would you want to work anywhere else but Armory? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Armory @ArmoryShield]

At the Counter UAVs & Air Defence Systems conference organised by @phdcci, our founder, @singhamardeep, joined the panel to emphasise what currently matters: Why execution matters more than endless planning. India’s soft-kill journey is progressing, but the future demands faster, harder, and more affordable kinetic solutions, which Armory aims to build.

An OS that gives you the first view of rogue drones.
Evolving with every threat it meets.
Jamming only the signals the drone would hate.
Sky control is now tap-ready, with Samaritan OS.

Good news: We raised funding.
Better news: We’re spending it on humans who wish to build a defense arsenal for Bharat.

With this new funding, we're aggressively scaling our team because we haven’t run out of problems to solve yet. 

If building hardware and the defence of the nation is something that gets your blood pumping more than corporate KPIs or standup calls, check out our openings on our website.

This fundraiser means bigger lab, more builds, and more room for brilliant misfits.

We raised a round. Now, we're raising the bar.
