What AimLock does

AimLock (legal entity Dev-Lock Systems Inc., d/b/a AimLock Inc.) is a Denver, Colorado-based defense technology company founded in 2013 as a spin-off from Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory, specializing in the design, development, and manufacturing of semi-autonomous precision targeting and engagement systems for small arms. The company primarily serves the US Department of Defense, US Special Operations Command, and allied/NATO military forces across counter-UAS, force protection, direct action, integrated defense, strike anti-armor, and support-by-fire missions. Its solutions are delivered through the DOTC-NAC consortium and JSSAP program channels, with demonstrations at SOF Week, AUSA, and DSEI defense trade shows.

The company's technology backbone is the Keystone Core Targeting Module (CTM), which integrates sensor management, computer vision, AI/ML, networks, and sensor fusion with advanced fire control, target tracking, and platform management. Keystone powers a portfolio of weapon-agnostic products — RAMPART (medium machine gun RWS), HIGHLINE (medium-range rifle chassis), SWITCHBACK (15-25 lb small arms), DIVIDE (45-65 lb heavy weapons), SUMMIT (25-35 lb precision rifles), and CAPROCK (single-launch tube for unmanned platforms) — designed for tripod, vehicle, UGV, USV, and UAS mounting under a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The CTM has been embedded into partner platforms from major defense OEMs and integrators including FN America's DEFNDER MEDIUM RWS (Dune solution), Teledyne FLIR Defense's SUGV 325 and Kobra 725 ground robots, Overland AI's ULTRA UGV, and BC Customs' SXV-XL 6x6, with Maxar Intelligence's Raptor software integrated to enable GPS-denied operations.

AimLock monetizes through defense hardware sales (complete weapon stations and modular CTM components) and professional services including R&D, system integration, and test and evaluation at its private 1,600m firing range and 400m aerial fires simulator facility. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at US and allied military procurement offices, leveraging consortium membership (DOTC-NAC, JSSAP) and recurring trade show presence. The company is privately held with no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or institutional investors; ownership appears concentrated among founders and early stakeholders, with CEO Bryan Bockmon leading the organization.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Anduril Industries: Anduril is a large, well-capitalized defense technology company building autonomous systems including counter-UAS (Roadrunner, Lattice) and weaponized platforms. It overlaps AimLock on autonomous targeting, cUAS, and AI-enabled fire control for the DoD, but operates across a far broader portfolio including air vehicles, undersea systems, and software.
• Shield AI: Shield AI develops AI-piloted autonomous systems (Hivemind, V-BAT) for ISR and strike missions and is expanding into autonomy-enabled weapons for DoD and allied customers. Like AimLock, it sells autonomy and targeting capability into USSOCOM and adjacent procurement channels, though Shield AI is platform-led rather than a fire-control supplier.

Direct peers

• Epirus: Epirus builds counter-electronics and counter-swarm systems (Leonidas) directed at drone and UAS threats using high-power microwave and AI targeting. It competes directly with AimLock in the cUAS mission space and shares the same DoD buyers (US Army, USSOCOM) and procurement programs.
• Dedrone: Dedrone provides counter-UAS detection, tracking, and identification software integrated with kinetic and non-kinetic effectors for government and allied customers. It overlaps AimLock in the cUAS detect-to-engage kill chain and targets overlapping defense and homeland security end users.
• DroneShield: DroneShield develops multi-sensor C-UAS detection and defeat solutions (DroneGun, DroneSentry) sold to military, government, and critical infrastructure buyers globally. It is comparable to AimLock as a focused cUAS vendor addressing the same drone-threat mission set, with a heavier emphasis on soft-kill defeat options.
• Liteye Systems: Liteye Systems manufactures counter-UAS, radar, and rugged defense electronics (SHIELD, AUDS) for DoD and allied customers. Like AimLock it is a smaller specialist supplying integrated detection-and-kill solutions to USSOCOM, US Army, and NATO-aligned forces rather than a prime platform OEM.
• MARSS Group: MARSS builds integrated C-UAS and force-protection systems (Interceptor, RadarShield) combining sensors, AI, and effectors for military and critical-infrastructure customers. It is a directly comparable mid-sized specialist addressing the same detect-classify-engage problem AimLock solves.

Others

• FN America: FN America is a major small-arms and remote-weapons-station manufacturer (FN DEFNDER) with whom AimLock has a strategic co-development partnership (Dune). It is an adjacent OEM channel partner rather than a competitor, but materially comparable as a defense small-arms and weapon-station supplier serving the same US/allied buyers.
• Teledyne FLIR Defense: Teledyne FLIR Defense supplies unmanned ground systems (SUGV, Kobra) and surveillance platforms to DoD and integrators. It is an integration partner for AimLock rather than a head-to-head competitor, but operates in the adjacent unmanned-systems / force-protection category and shares the same procurement customers.
• Overland AI: Overland AI builds autonomous ground vehicles (ULTRA UGV) for military operations and is a strategic AimLock integration partner. It is comparable as a DoD-facing autonomy provider for unmanned platforms, though it competes more on mobility autonomy than on targeting/fire control.
