Emil Falk

Founder of Tenet Industries, Low-cost, mass-producible defense systems

Company

Emil Falk is listed as a founder of Tenet Industries. Tenet Industries is building low-cost mass-producible defense systems, starting with attack drones. We're using design-for-manufacturing and first principles to reimagine how a defense product is developed and manufactured. We begin with the manufacturing, then solve all the inefficiencies and difficulties in the firmware/software. This allows us to hyperscale production in multiple defense categories such as strike drones, loitering munitions, jammers, radars, etc. Our first product is a kamikaze quadcopter. It assembles in two minutes and has half the parts to comparable systems.
