About Mantis
Built for the Unmanned Era
Mantis Technologies was founded on a simple conviction: the future of defense is unmanned, and the existing sustainment infrastructure is woefully unprepared for it.
Our Team
We are a team of patriots, engineers, and operators from top technology companies and defense institutions. We combine deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems with firsthand knowledge of the operational challenges facing the Department of War.
