Merlin Labs builds autonomous flight software called the Merlin Pilot that lets cargo aircraft fly missions without an onboard human pilot. It is sold to the U.S. military and defense customers, including a 105M USD contract with U.S. Special Operations Command for C-130J transport. The platform is aircraft-agnostic, so the same autonomy stack ports across legacy airframes rather than requiring a clean-sheet aircraft.
