About Origin Robotics
Origin Robotics develops autonomous defence systems for counter-drone and precision-strike missions. BLAZE combines radar cueing and computer vision to intercept hostile uncrewed aircraft, while BEAK is a portable drone-launched precision-guided weapon intended for tactical teams.
The Latvian company builds low-cost hardware around software-driven autonomy and rapid iteration, targeting European and NATO requirements. Its systems integrate detection, guidance and mission control to shorten the path from identifying a threat to engaging it. Origin invests its own capital in product development and supplies government customers through testing, procurement and field-support programmes.
