Tiberius Aerospace looks to transform collaboration with launch of Grail AI-powered software platform

Defence technology company Tiberius Aerospace announced on 29 August 2025 that it has officially launched Grail: its next-generation, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software platform designed to transform how weapon systems are manufactured, evaluated, deployed and sustained.

A foundational pillar of the Tiberius Defence-as-a-Service (DaaS) model, Grail was born from the desire to rapidly quantify and analyse all available data across multiple defence-related systems and domains to align how weapon systems are evaluated, designed, manufactured, deployed and sustained with best practice from Silicon Valley.

The first output of this Grail analysis was Sceptre: a liquid-fuelled, ramjet-powered, extended-range precision-guided 155 mm artillery round that was launched in May 2025.

“Having been positively received by multiple key defence organisations, Grail is now being launched as a platform to empower NATO members, global allies and the defence industry with an agile defence ecosystem, independent weapon analysis and intelligent national resilience planning tool,” Tiberius stated in a press release.

“User-centric, problem-orientated, data-driven and bringing full accountability and transparency to capability development, Grail fuses real-time insights from both the battlefield and technology sector to deliver war-winning capabilities at affordable, relevant and scalable speed,” the company stated. “While technology is evolving at lightning speed on the battlefield, an increasingly contested peace demands economic agility and industrial innovation at pace. Grail analyses, quantifies and qualifies solutions to these strategic challenges, delivering national capital efficiencies and enhanced domestic resilience.”

Grail facilitates a decentralised, data-driven and collaborative defence ecosystem (Grail Alliance) where contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and allied governments can work together to build faster, smarter and more adaptive defence capabilities while ensuring interoperability and maintaining sovereign-controlled sourcing.

At its core, Tiberius Aerospace says that Grail comprises two critical modules: Grail Lethality calculates weapon system relative cost and efficiency against target sets in all environments, enabling allied members to objectively assess inventory, investment and system-of-system balance; Grail Agility, meanwhile, establishes a component marketplace for thousands of suppliers to collaborate and compete in a secure, vetted and managed environment. Grail Agility ensures every vetted manufacturer is exposed to a global community of technology vendors who compete on price and performance in a continuous and transparent process of spiral development, delivering timely, data-validated, solutions at affordable cost.

The benefits of Grail are available to all vetted contractors, original equipment manufacturers, subsystem suppliers, academic labs and government organisations that have joined the Grail Alliance.

“Unlocking the full potential of the dual-use industrial base, Grail Alliance members benefit from recurring, trusted exposure to ministries of defence across allied nations,” Tiberius stated, noted that the Grail Alliance, which was launched simultaneously with the Grail software platform, is already on the cusp of onboarding 100 vetted organisations, with more joining every day.

“Defence supremacy is not defined by the most lethal systems alone,” stated Andy Baynes, co-founder and CSO of Tiberius. “It is secured by weapons that endure, adapt, and evolve for every warfighter, in every domain. Grail transforms this challenge into strength by uniting breakthrough design with broad, secure mobilised national supply chains.  For the first time, every allied nation can wield Silicon Valley-style speed, agility and continuous innovation in pursuit of peace through strength.”
