Los Altos, California — Antaris™, creator of the AI-powered Antaris Intelligence™ platform that simplifies satellite design, simulation, manufacturing, and operations for ISR and communications satellite missions, today announced the first close of a $28 Million Series A funding round. The raise was led by WestWave Capital with participation from Lockheed Martin Ventures, other insiders, and new investors.
The fundraise follows a breakout year for Antaris, marked by strong demand for its AI-powered Full Mission Virtualization™ platform in support of U.S. Department of War satellite missions, as well as growing momentum for its fully localized satellite manufacturing partnerships in allied nations. Antaris recently announced an MOA with SARsatX to develop a 16-satellite constellation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as initial exploration of the Japanese market. The company is working with sovereign governments and commercial partners to develop regional and global ISR and communications satellite capabilities.
Antaris will use the funds to accelerate development of its Antaris Intelligence™ platform to power the entire lifecycle of satellite missions with unmatched speed and agility. At its core is the TrueTwin™ simulation environment, which enables customers to “fly” entire missions virtually before committing to specific hardware choices. This virtualization underpins Antaris’ AI/ML capabilities, which range from predictive design modeling and anomaly detection to constellation orchestration and autonomous on-orbit operations.
