01 / Threat

The threat got faster.
Defense didn't get cheaper.

Shahed-class one-way attack drones are cheap enough to launch in waves. The newest jet-powered variants are far faster than their propeller-driven predecessors. They leave guns and slow interceptors much less time to engage.

Defenders are often left firing missiles that cost many times more than the drones they shoot down. That exchange doesn't scale.

Accipiter

In development

Accipiter is Tiercel's first product: an interceptor built specifically to hunt jet-powered one-way attack drones, at a cost that makes sense against the threat.

A

Priced to the threat

Cost per intercept that holds up against mass drone attacks.

B

Built for volume

Designed from day one around simple, scalable manufacturing.

C

Made for jet-powered drones

Built to catch faster drones that propeller-era defenses were never sized for.

03 / Company

Early, focused,
and building.

Tiercel Industries Inc. is a Y Combinator company in the Summer 2027 batch. We're a small team building hardware first and putting it through testing early and often.
