Booz Allen Hamilton, through its venture capital arm Booz Allen Ventures, has made a strategic investment in Scout AI to advance autonomous capabilities across U.S. defense operations. Scout AI’s technology features a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model, FURY, that enables unmanned ground and aerial vehicles to operate with improved autonomy and decision-making.
Booz Allen’s investment highlights its continued efforts to accelerate the adoption of AI-enabled solutions across military domains, including land, air, maritime, and space. Randy Yamada, Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton, commented, “As a strategic investor, Booz Allen is hyper-focused on fast-tracking results through private sector innovation and bringing capabilities that will disrupt the federal technology market. Scout AI’s technology will play a pivotal role in outpacing emerging threats with the realization of uncrewed systems, specifically in communications-constrained environments.” The collaboration aims to enhance operational readiness, reduce costs, and strengthen human-machine teaming.
