Big move in the AI drone space: Dassault, the aerospace company behind the Rafale fighter jet, just pumped $200 million into Harmattan AI. Not exactly a household name until now, but the funding round just put them on the unicorn map as one of Europe's freshest $1 billion+ startups.
What's interesting here is the cross-sector play—a traditional defense contractor betting serious capital on autonomous drone tech. Whether this signals broader institutional confidence in AI-powered systems or just smart portfolio diversification from Dassault, it's definitely worth tracking. The space is heating up.
