Gale Project Technologies (a.k.a. GALE Project)
Gale Project Technologies, led by CEO Jay Kriner, is a Texas-based advanced innovation company pioneering autonomous systems, edge AI platforms, and multi-domain deployment technologies for terrestrial, maritime, aerospace, and planetary environments. Our mission is to engineer intelligent infrastructure and autonomous operations that deliver real-time data, rapid response, and resilient performance in the world’s most demanding conditions. By transforming static infrastructure into dynamic, AI-powered networks, we are redefining how societies, industries, and governments monitor, respond, and adapt to both everyday needs and extreme events.
Our flagship innovation is the GALE System, a breakthrough in remote monitoring and autonomous operations. Though still in its early stage of development, GALE has already established itself as a leading innovation in the Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) movement and beyond. The system serves as a remote monitoring and early alert platform with an agnostic drone dock housing, designed to convert existing infrastructure—such as utility poles, towers, and buildings—into intelligent smart nodes. By combining high-resolution imaging, multi-sensor telemetry, and AI-driven analytics, GALE enables continuous situational awareness and rapid deployment of unmanned systems. This capability addresses urgent needs in wildfire detection, infrastructure inspection, urban safety, and border security while offering unprecedented adaptability for diverse use cases.
Building on this foundation, Gale has extended its platform into space with the GALEx System, the first known compact drone and rover docking station for orbital and planetary operations. GALEx provides protective housing, charging, environmental analysis, and communications relay in a modular footprint one-quarter the size of traditional rovers. This approach significantly reduces mission transport weight and cost while expanding scientific and operational reach for lunar and Martian exploration. Meanwhile, our LoMas System addresses the escalating challenge of drone swarm threats with a compact kinetic-electric rotary counter-UAS platform engineered for mobile defense, critical infrastructure protection, and tactical field operations.
Together, these three innovations form a cohesive technology suite spanning terrestrial, aerospace, and defense applications.
Gale Project Technologies operates at the intersection of dual-use markets, with a total addressable market (TAM) exceeding $750 billion by 2033. This includes public safety and emergency response, environmental monitoring, counter-UAS defense, maritime surveillance, aerospace and planetary exploration, and infrastructure asset management. Each sector presents significant growth potential as demand accelerates for autonomous, resilient, and cost-efficient systems capable of real-time performance.
The company’s technology stack integrates real-time edge AI powered by NVIDIA Jetson modules, drone-agnostic deployment systems with third-party autonomous flight integration, secure mesh and satellite communications, and multi-sensor fusion across visual, thermal, acoustic, environmental, and electromagnetic domains. This modular design ensures that Gale technologies are not only adaptable but future-proof for terrestrial and orbital operations.
Our momentum reflects both strong innovation and growing market recognition. Having completed a pre-seed round that enabled prototype development and IP expansion, Gale is preparing a $5M seed round in Q4 2025 to scale manufacturing, expand its technical team, and secure contracts with the Department of Defense, U.S. Space Force, DHS/CBP, and public safety municipalities. The company has applied for over $2M in non-dilutive government grants and has already secured multiple letters of interest from potential end users. Gale has been featured in national media and aerospace publications as a breakout innovator, validating both its vision and disruptive potential.
The company benefits from the guidance of a seasoned advisory team, including Major Leland Kriner (Ret. FAA senior staff and U.S. Military Academy fighter pilot), Norris Lyman (business strategy and commercialization), Kevin Borkowski (Special Operations/DoD integration), and William Frazer (federal funding and commercialization strategy). Their expertise strengthens Gale’s path to market readiness and supports execution across both civilian and defense applications.
Gale’s partnerships further amplify its trajectory, with collaborations including Hanwha Vision for advanced surveillance integration, Sam Houston State University for aerospace telemetry and AI research, the NASA-affiliated SATOP program for space deployment support, Trailside Creative for engineering and prototyping, and the NVIDIA Inception Program for edge AI acceleration. These alliances validate the technical and commercial foundations of Gale’s platform and open pathways for rapid scaling.
Looking forward, Gale Project Technologies is positioned to disrupt how the world deploys and relies on autonomous intelligence. From wildfire zones to contested airspace, from port security to lunar terrain, our systems are designed to act without human latency—delivering speed, adaptability, and resilience when seconds matter most. By uniting AI, edge computing, modular sensors, and autonomous deployment, we are creating infrastructure that not only meets today’s challenges but sets tomorrow’s standards for monitoring, defense, and planetary exploration.
