A software layer for the edge.
Company
Who we are
AugSense builds AI that runs where the network doesn't reach. We design custom edge models, multi-modal sensor fusion, semantic compression, and neuromorphic inference, and we deploy them on the drones, sensors, and field hardware our clients already operate. We don't sell airframes or boxes. We're the software layer that makes existing hardware smarter under the limits that matter: size, weight, power, and connectivity.
We work in focused engagements with defense and dual-use programs in the US and Canada, and with industrial and energy operators at remote sites. Each engagement starts with a hard constraint and ends with something that runs. Our team brings together defense aviation, government contracting, embedded hardware, human performance science, and decades of building products for harsh environments.
