Aethena Deepmind
Aethena DeepMind builds edge‑native mission intelligence for asset recovery and extraction in environments where connectivity, certainty and human access cannot be assumed. Our TACPlan platform creates an intelligence layer between operational context and coordinated action, combining local sensing, mission and unit information, and autonomous systems within a single supervised loop.
TACPlan’s initial defence applications focus on asset recovery and extraction. For vehicle recovery, it helps locate and assess damaged or abandoned assets, compare recovery routes and risks, and coordinate their recovery, repair and return to service, reducing exposure of personnel in contested environments. For extraction (CASEVAC), it helps operators assess terrain, casualties, hazards, threats and available assets to coordinate safer extraction, triage and handover.
Across these missions, TACPlan helps operators and machines locate, assess, reason and execute as conditions change, providing operator guidance, autonomous tasking, command integration and mission coordination at the tactical edge. Rooted in multi‑agent autonomy developed for lunar and communications‑constrained environments, Aethena DeepMind applies one resilient intelligence architecture across defence, space and other contested or constrained domains.

Tiberiu-ioan Szatmari, PhD
Founder & CTO
Tiberiu-Ioan Szatmari, PhD, specialises in distributed multi-agent autonomy and resilient systems. His research includes work at NASA’s JPL and contributions related to the CADRE lunar multi-rover mission. At Aethena, Ioan leads the edge-native spatial architecture underpinning our last-mile resiliency capabilities, enabling distributed autonomous systems to collaborate, enhance situational awareness, and operate effectively in communications-constrained environments.
Michael Kai Petersen
Founder & CSO
CSO Michael Kai Petersen, PhD, brings more than 30 years of experience in cognitive systems and explainable AI. At Aethena, Michael leads our agentic AI development, focusing on bounded and interpretable autonomy that combines machine reasoning with deterministic constraints and human oversight. His work underpins Aethena’s approach to resilient, trusted autonomy—enabling intelligent systems to reason, adapt and act effectively while remaining explainable, controllable and aligned with operational intent.
