Company context
Perennial Autonomy is a U.S. defense autonomy company building AI-enabled counter-UAS systems and low-cost interceptor drones for tactical air defense. Its public product evidence is strongest around Merops and Bumblebee, with Hornet referenced as part of the broader contract portfolio but not yet detailed enough for a standalone product profile.
