Indian AI startup Rabbitt AI has launched a suite of GenAI tools to reshape military operations by minimising human involvement in high-risk zones.
The core idea centres on reducing human exposure to danger. GenAI-powered drones, autonomous vehicles, and surveillance systems enable real-time threat detection and response, offering a safer, AI-driven alternative to traditional security methods.
By incorporating diverse sensor data—from infrared and radar to audio and visual feeds—Rabbitt’s models detect unauthorised movements, environmental anomalies, and abnormal activities without human intervention.
“We are not very far from a future where AI with limbs can dominate battlefields,” said Harneet Singh, Rabbitt AI’s chief, who was previously an AI consultant to the South Korean Navy.
“One of our key missions is to protect lives at the borders by creating situationally aware, autonomous AI systems that can respond to threats by observing and analyzing sensor data in real-time,” he added.
Rabbitt AI’s technology integrates deep learning models with diverse sensor inputs—from infrared and radar to audio and video—to detect unauthorised intrusions, environmental anomalies, and abnormal activities without human intervention.
Singh highlighted the technology’s autonomy, saying, “With AI-powered systems, we can now provide uninterrupted, unbiased monitoring that ensures both coverage and efficiency, all while reducing operational costs.”
In addition to reducing personnel risks, Rabbitt’s GenAI tools also help streamline resources by automating many surveillance functions. The technology minimizes reliance on human labor, which Singh says “not only reduces costs but increases accuracy, freeing military personnel to focus on strategic tasks.” The system’s AI-driven detection capabilities also lower the need for costly corrective actions.
Rabbitt AI is also advancing “human-machine teaming” by pairing GenAI with unmanned drones and ground vehicles to increase adaptability in hard-to-reach terrains. According to Singh, “This tech enables real-time situational awareness, allowing command centres to get immediate insights without the delay of human reporting, even in complex environments like urban areas or mountainous regions.”
Singh, an IIT Delhi alumnus recognised by DRDO and Indian military officials with an honorary medal, emphasised Rabbitt AI’s broader vision for defence. “Our work goes beyond developing AI models,” he said. “We are building a defence ecosystem where AI serves as a force multiplier, enhancing every soldier’s capabilities while increasing situational awareness and reducing decision-making time.”
Founded by Singh, Rabbitt.ai focuses on generative AI solutions, including custom LLM development, RAG fine-tuning, and MLOps integration. The company recently raised $2.1 million from TC Group of Companies and investors connected to NVIDIA and Meta.
The company recently appointed Asem Rostom as its Global Managing Director to lead expansion across the MENA and Europe regions. Before this role, Rostom served as the managing director at Simplilearn.
The company has also launched Rabbitt Learning, a new division focused on transforming education access and workforce readiness in the MENA region. As a part of its expansion, Rabbitt AI has opened a new office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to meet the growing demand for Gen AI skilling courses and digital transformation projects in the Gulf countries.
