Inturai Ventures’ DomeCommand just skipped the line into Asia’s defence tech fast lane.
The drone-swarm command-and-control platform, tied to the Company’s pending acquisition, was picked in the first wave of applicants (out of 450+) for SDTH 2026, a three-month Singapore accelerator built to push defence tech toward procurement.
WHY IT MATTERS
DomeCommand will develop within Little Red Dome, the program’s counter-drone mission focused on detecting and defeating drone swarms, with partners including DSTA, DSO National Laboratories, ST Engineering, and Shield AI.
Inturai is targeting the C2 layer, the software that fuses sensor data into a coordinated response, which the company argues is underserved compared to the crowded sensor-and-effector hardware market.
Paired with Inturai’s spatial sensing tech (built for contested environments where cameras fail), the company is positioning itself in what it calls a greenfield niche rather than competing directly on hardware.
The program runs three months and culminates at the main SDTH event, September 25-27, 2026, with pathways to incubation, milestone funding and testbeds.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
CEO Ed Clarke called the program a way to compress years of defence market entry into months, framing the C2 gap as the opportunity and pilot deployments as the near-term goal.
BOTTOM LINE: Beyond defence, the company is pitching the same detect-decide-respond system for critical infrastructure (airports, power grids, ports, correctional facilities) facing rising drone incursions, giving it two markets from one platform.
