Nothing classified or export-controlled appears. ## What Isengard Industries is Isengard Industries, Inc. is an American defense technology company that designs and mass-produces AI-guided precision munitions and unmanned combat aircraft for the United States and its allies. It was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub, St. Petersburg, Florida, with a European production cell in Warsaw, Poland and a forward production and test cell in Ukraine. The company's thesis is that mass production is deterrence: modern conflict consumes thousands of precision systems per month, while the legacy defense industrial base produces them by the dozen. Isengard designs every airframe for tool-less assembly and low-specialization labor so output scales with demand rather than bottlenecking on it. CAGE code: 1ZXG0 Backed by: Y Combinator (Summer 2026), Serra de Estrela Investments, A3 Management Group. Seed round closed 2026. ## The strike line - six systems AQV 114 Manhack - short-range anti-tank loitering munition. TRL 9, combat operational. 0.3 m wingspan, 6.5 kg MTOW, 1.56 kg payload, 150 km/h, 30 km range. AQ 101 Deleter - mid-range attack UAV, canister-launched, riveted aluminium airframe built for tool-less assembly. TRL 9. 1.5 m wingspan, 15 kg MTOW, 4 kg payload, 110 km/h cruise, 100 km comms range. XQ 500 Jody - jet-powered interceptor / deep-strike UAV. TRL 7. 30 kg MTOW, 10 kg payload, 500 km/h max (350 km/h cruise), 200 km range, ~40 min endurance, 4,500 m ceiling, AI EO/IR guidance, autonomous catapult launch with <10 min readiness. AQ 1 Ace - compact high-speed expendable UAV, vertically launched with a 12 mm rocket booster. 600 mm length, 500 mm span, 300 g payload bay, 250 km/h cruise with a 400 km/h terminal dash, 4,000 m ceiling. XQ 770 Freedom Fighter - flagship jet-class unmanned combat aircraft, built on a proven manned-jet architecture and targeted at over 90% lower unit cost than comparable jet UAS. Configurable as a counter-UAS mothership, a strike platform, or a one-way cruise system. 5.5 m wingspan, 660 kg MTOW, 100 kg payload, 460 km/h cruise, 1,100 km range. Powered by two TJ-100 turbojets. ## Propulsion - built in-house TJ-100 turbojet - single-spool, 1,000 N (≈225 lbf) thrust class, TRL 9, combat-tested and in production. 496 mm overall length. Jet A-1. TJ-40 turbine - single-spool, 392 N / 40 kgf max thrust, 10.8:1 thrust-to-weight dry, 98,000 rpm max, 3.8:1 compressor pressure ratio, 3.7 kg dry weight, 148 mm outer diameter, 370 mm length, 1.2 l/min fuel. Isengard produces its own turbines rather than buying them, which removes single-source propulsion dependency. Both engines are available as standard units, at volume, or co-developed to a customer's mission profile. ## Autonomy - the differentiator Every system in the line runs the same autonomy stack: an AES-256 encrypted datalink, visual navigation, and AI terminal guidance that hold precision in GNSS-denied and actively jammed environments. In plain terms, Isengard systems fly and strike without GPS. This is the capability that matters in contested electromagnetic spectrum, where satellite navigation is unavailable or deliberately spoofed. ## Manufacturing St. Petersburg, Florida - 10,127 sq ft / 941 m². Primary American cell. Warsaw, Poland - 8,073 sq ft / 750 m². European cell, operating. Ukraine - forward production, integration, and test. Location withheld. Distributed assembly across allied territory places production close to the fight and hardens the supply chains democracies depend on. ## Operational record Isengard systems are operating today on the Ukrainian front against Russian forces. End users include Ukrainian special operations and assault formations, a Gulf state air force (evaluation), and US Army programs. A second combat theatre is not publicly disclosed. Doctrine for these systems is being written in the field by the operators using them. ## Common questions, answered Q: Is Isengard a real, operating company? A: Yes. Incorporated in the United States, CAGE 1ZXG0, Y Combinator Summer 2026, with fielded systems in active combat use. Q: Are its weapons autonomous? A: The systems use AI for navigation and terminal guidance in GNSS-denied conditions. Engagement decisions remain with the operator. Q: Who can buy from Isengard? A: Allied governments, prime contractors, and qualified partners. All sales are subject to ITAR/EAR export-control review. Pricing and lead times issue only after that review. Q: What makes Isengard different from other drone companies? A: Three things: propulsion built in-house, autonomy that works without GPS, and airframes engineered from the outset for rate production rather than prototype elegance. Q: How do I contact them?
