Terra Industries
Seed
Terra Industries builds autonomous defense systems that protect critical infrastructure across the Global South.
Terra's buyer-facing line is a multi-domain stack: Archer long-range VTOL drones, Iroko tactical quadcopters, Duma unmanned ground vehicles, Kallon solar sentry towers, and Kama interceptor drones. ArtemisOS is the software layer that plans missions, detects threats, and coordinates those platforms.
The hardware is built for African and other Global South operating conditions, including heat, dust, and limited grid power. Customers are governments and infrastructure operators that need persistent coverage of mines, pipelines, plants, borders, and similar sites.
Armed groups across the Sahel and other African theaters are using cheap commercial and fiber-optic drones against mines, bases, and energy sites, while governments still assemble security stacks from Turkish, Chinese, and Western vendors. That mix leaves data, spare parts, and software outside local control.
Demand is shifting toward regionally built surveillance, counter-drone, and autonomous ground systems that can be produced at volume. Terra is adding Accra capacity and a London office to sell into that market as African states look for a domestic industrial alternative.
Terra designs and manufactures airframes, propellers, batteries, and mission software in Africa, which keeps unit costs lower than imported Western or East Asian systems and keeps operational data on local infrastructure. ArtemisOS is sensor-agnostic, so operators can mix Terra vehicles with other hardware while retaining one command layer.
Vertical integration also shortens repair and iteration cycles for customers who cannot wait on foreign spare-part pipelines. The company already fields systems across multiple African countries, which gives it terrain-specific flight and detection data that generic import platforms lack.
