TRL 7
A proven, revenue-generating team with active special forces deployments, proprietary edge AI decision-making, and a platform-agnostic architecture that no competitor has replicated.
Breaker develops AI agents that to enable robots to act like humans.
Breaker's Avalon is a platform-agnostic AI agent that deploys onto existing unmanned systems, enabling a single operator to orchestrate teams of robots via voice on standard PTT radios. Currently deployed and revenue-generating, Avalon breaks the 1:1 operator-to-platform ratio.

Avalon is a software agent that deploys onto standard onboard edge compute hardware — no proprietary components or external infrastructure required. Operators command robot teams through natural language voice on existing PTT radios, briefing systems as they would human teammates. Pre-mission context enables Avalon to make mission-aligned decisions independently, with all choices remaining auditable through plain-English explanations.

Defence forces face a critical constraint: each unmanned system requires a dedicated operator monitoring screens with specialist equipment, limiting the tactical utility of robotic platforms. This 1:1 operator-to-platform ratio prevents force multiplication and pulls warfighters away from their primary combat roles, particularly in communications-degraded and GPS-denied environments.
