Rubicon
AI-powered radar sensing to see beneath forests and concealed environments.
Rubicon develops advanced AI and radar sensing technologies to see beneath forests, soils, and concealed environments, providing NATO countries and their allies with an edge in image intelligence (IMINT). The company combines low-frequency radar data and AI to detect and classify objects in complex, hidden environments, and partners with ONERA to co-develop next-generation airborne radar. Rubicon was originally founded as Rubicon Exploration, targeting natural/geological hydrogen exploration, and pivoted to defense radar analytics in 2024-2025 due to regulatory constraints in the hydrogen space and a stronger market opportunity in defense tech. Founded by Alexandre Boissier (CEO, former French Army officer) and Ines Meraoumia (CTO, former Princeton radar researcher). Incubated by ESA BIC Nord (entered January 2025, graduated April 2026).
