Spectral Autonomy is building platform-agnostic electronic warfare software that enables the same techniques used to jam enemy missiles, avoid detection, and spot incoming threats on advanced jets to protect transport planes, trucks, and civilian buildings. By creating a universal software layer that allows defensive capabilities to be built once and deployed across any platform without costly rewrites, they are expanding protection from jamming and electromagnetic attacks to the 80% of military platforms and nearly all civilian assets that currently remain vulnerable. Spectral Autonomy is led by Anton Njavro (CAS’27) and David Neary (Questrom’20).
