Helsing — Valuation, Funding & Investors

Helsing designs AI software and hardware for European defence, building strike drones such as the HF-1 and HX-2, underwater surveillance systems, and AI that analyses sensor and weapons data to support battlefield decisions. It has integrated its software into the Eurofighter Typhoon EK and the Saab JAS 39 Gripen, agreed to acquire German aircraft manufacturer Grob Aircraft, and pledges to sell only to democratic governments.

Torsten Reil, Gundbert Scherf and Niklas Köhler founded Helsing in Munich in March 2021, and the company has since opened subsidiaries in Estonia, France and the United Kingdom. In 2025 its AI agent Centaur was tested piloting a Gripen E fighter jet in a real-world dogfight trial against a human-operated Gripen D.
