VANEA Defence is a European defence technology brand and a brand of SCP Standard Capital Partners AG. Its work focuses on developing sovereign artificial intelligence for defence, autonomous systems, and critical infrastructure, with the aim of helping free societies meet the challenges of autonomous warfare. At the centre of its offering is AGENOR, described as Europe’s Defence Foundation Model: an AI foundation model intended to support the next generation of defence capabilities.

VANEA develops perception and decision-making models that can identify threats, from hybrid attacks to high-intensity combat, and translate detected information into decisions. It also builds AI-supported effectors designed to make defence systems more capable of countering coordinated threats, including swarms. To support deployment at scale, the brand is developing fully robotic, containerised, AI-controlled manufacturing designed to produce autonomous systems where they are needed, in quantities and at costs suited to modern conflict.

Together, these technologies span threat understanding, response, and production
