Harmattan AI Awarded Multi-Million Dollar Strategic Program of Record Just One Year After Founding

We just set a record.

Harmattan AI, a global next-generation defense prime, has been awarded a multi-million-U.S. dollar contract by a NATO government for the delivery of AI-enabled small drones; marking a breakthrough moment in the defense sector and a rapid ascent for one of its most ambitious new players.

Founded in April 2024, Harmattan AI has secured this landmark contract just over one year into operations, making it the fastest company in the defense industry history to be selected for a program of record of this scale. The achievement sets a new industry benchmark for sovereign capability development and mission-ready delivery in a highly regulated and traditionally slow-moving sector. 

The system, developed entirely by Harmattan AI, will be delivered in mid-October. Designed to be autonomous, scalable, and conflict-ready, it meets urgent operational requirements for NATO-aligned forces and demonstrates the value of Harmattan AI’s integrated model, from R&D to manufacturing.

“This is more than a contract. It’s a strong demonstration of trust and a validation of our mission,” said Mouad M'Ghari, CEO & Co-Founder of Harmattan AI. “We’re building next-generation defense technology that delivers battlefield relevance at unmatched speed. In just over a year, we’ve gone from concept to Prime contract. That’s the new standard we’re setting for the defense industry.”

The solution is part of a broader trend toward software-defined, AI-enabled systems that accelerate decision-making and enhance operational flexibility in contested environments. Harmattan AI’s approach combines deep AI expertise with field-tested hardware and software engineering, as well as an industrialized production capability built for wartime resilience.

With operations across Europe, the Middle East, and the United States of America, Harmattan AI is positioned to partner closely with allied defense stakeholders, delivering adaptable systems that strengthen situational awareness, enable tactical advantage, and support long-term strategic readiness.
