Gallium Defense Seed

Paris-based drone detection startup Gallium Defense has emerged from stealth after closing a €7.1 million ($7.7 million) Seed round led by Keen Venture Partners and 360 Capital, with participation from Omnes Capital and Polytechnique Ventures. Founded in April 2026, the company has already conducted open-air field trials for its flagship GDS-10 radar, an AI-native system designed to track Class 1 and FPV drones at a 10km range with 360° coverage at 20% of the cost of legacy hardware. Gallium Defense plans to use the capital to expand its team and industrialize the production of its dual-use radar systems for military and critical infrastructure operators.
