Odisseyspace
Odissey is an early-stage aerospace startup (in stealth) building next-generation directed energy infrastructure to enable persistent, autonomous operations at scale. Modern defense, space, and autonomous systems are fundamentally limited by energy. Persistent, autonomous operations are critical for modern defense and disaster response missions: from distributed logistics to ISR across infrastructure-poor environments. Today’s systems: UAVs, distributed sensors, remote infrastructure, are constrained by battery life, fuel logistics, and operational overhead. Endurance is measured in minutes or hours when it should be measured in days or months. There is no existing solution that enables continuous airborne or remote operations without significant downtime, recovery cycles, or logistical burden. We’re building the missing layer: wireless, distributed energy infrastructure. What We’re Building We are building a full-stack directed energy platform designed to deliver low-cost, reliable power for applications ranging from national security to in-space infrastructure. Our system is a software-defined, hardware-enabled platform: a vertically integrated architecture that combines command-and-control software with advanced energy transmission, autonomy, and sensing systems. Our team includes serial entrepreneur, photonics experts, hardware engineers, designers, and U.S. Air Force veterans. We are developing a reconfigurable wireless power distribution network enabled by proprietary photonic power beaming technology. At the core of the system is our Directed Energy Unit (DEU), a modular platform capable of transmitting ~1 kW of optical power at 1064 nm over ~1 km to laser photovoltaic receivers. This enables persistent, distributed energy delivery for autonomous systems.
