ZeroMark, Inc.
Apex
America has overmatch everywhere but the trigger where our warfighters still fight peer-to-peer.
Why it mattersZeroMark is a defense technology company focused on embedding advanced AI-driven sensing, computer vision, and embedded hardware into existing weapons to enable auto-aiming and networked distributed strike capabilities. By leveraging real-time analytics and intelligent targeting, our systems enhance everything from counter-UAS operations to broader perimeter and asset defense, ensuring a rapid and precise response in dynamic environments. We concentrate on modular, scalable solutions that seamlessly integrate into current defense ecosystems, augmenting them with advanced automation and connectivity. This approach allows for coordinated, networked engagement across multiple weapon platforms—substantially improving both speed and accuracy while reducing personnel risk.
About
Problem
We dominate in the air and at sea — but on the ground, $500 drones outmaneuver warfighters still aiming by hand. In close combat, even elite shooters miss — and that’s where we lose the advantage.
Solution
ZeroMark adds real-time auto-aiming to rifles and weapon stations, physically steering the weapon like a gimbal so shooters stay on target — without changing how they operate or when they fire.
Field Validation
Live-fire validated at TREX 25, L-SHORAD, and Red Sands Hard Kill. Technology Maturity (TRL): TRL 7 — integrated into fielded weapons and proven on rifles, crew-served platforms, and vehicle-mounted systems in live-fire conditions.
Strategic Advantage
ZeroMark requires no change to doctrine or behavior. Operators aim and fire as always. Our dataset enables real-time target segmentation — hitting motors, batteries, or electronics for maximum kill probability. No other system combines human-in-the-loop control with automated precision.
Go-to-Market
Engaged via AFWERX SBIR Phase III, JUON deployments, and OTs. Active with SOCOM, AFSOC, NSWC, and allied MODs. Integrating with primes on RWS and mobile C-UAS platforms.
Dual-Use Potential
Law enforcement, VIP security, infrastructure defense, and hunting safety — anywhere precise firearm use under pressure is critical.
Team
Founded by MongoDB’s former CISO. Team includes Tier 1 operators, ex-Meta and Google AI leads, and BD leaders from Anduril. Tactical depth meets technical execution.
Primary User
Dismounted gunners & crew-served teams responsible for drone defeat and force protection.
