Traysar, a defense technology startup developing autonomous underground systems for military and infrastructure applications, has launched publicly and secured $25 million in funding led by Silent Ventures. The round included participation from Lux Capital, Ora Global, and several defense-focused angel investors.
Expanding the Subterranean Battlefield
The company is focused on addressing growing security challenges beneath the Earth's surface, where underground facilities, tunnels, and hardened infrastructure are becoming increasingly important in modern conflicts.
“For decades, we have allowed a massive capability gap to widen beneath our feet. Our message to adversaries is clear: there is no place to hide. Traysar’s mission is to expose every subterranean threat and equip the armies of the free world to fight in this new-yet-ancient dimension.” — Yadin Soffer, Co-Founder & CEO of Traysar
Autonomous Underground Platforms
Traysar is developing autonomous "subterra" platforms designed to navigate, map, and operate in underground environments. The initial product lineup includes a tunnel exploration and breaching system as well as a rapid-burrowing platform capable of creating underground access points and delivering payloads below the surface.
Defense Infrastructure Applications
Beyond military operations, the technology can support infrastructure protection, secure manufacturing facilities, and strengthen logistics networks in contested environments.
“Traysar is pioneering the doctrine and developing the technology required for U.S. military supremacy across the subterranean domain, a war-fighting realm steeped in history dating back to WWI, through the Vietnam Conflict, and is now quickly emerging as the defining 21st century battlefield.” — Jackson Moses, GP at Silent Ventures
