Facts
as of Nov 14, 2026Harmattan AI is a French defence technology company founded in 2024 that develops autonomous strike and reconnaissance drones for European armed forces.

Headquartered in Paris and backed by European defence investors, it is part of a wave of new European companies formed to reduce the continent's dependence on American and Israeli defence suppliers.
It is hiring: 154 open roles, 32 of them posted in the last 30 days.
