Comand AI raises €32 million Series A to scale AI-native command-and-control platform across NATO

The round, led by Blossom Capital with strategic investment from Saab, will accelerate the deployment of Prevail across allied armed forces.


June 17, 2026, Paris - Comand AI today announced a €32 million Series A funding round at Eurosatory, led by Blossom Capital, with strategic investment from Saab, and with Expeditions renewing their participation in the company. The round will support the expansion of Comand AI’s AI-native command-and-control platform, Prevail, across NATO markets and into new operational domains.

Comand AI is building defence software for an era in which armed forces must command increasingly complex operations involving autonomous systems, distributed sensors and machine-speed decision-making. Its platform, Prevail, has been deployed with operational units in France, Germany, Ukraine and other allied nations over the past twelve months.

The Series A will support the continued deployment of Prevail across France and wider NATO markets, further product development with operational units in Ukraine, and the industrialisation of the platform for adoption at scale. The funding will also support Comand AI’s expansion into additional operational domains, including air, which is already underway, and maritime, which will follow before the end of the year.

Saab’s strategic investment establishes a new agreement between the two companies, focused on giving Saab a world-class AI and software product partner to accelerate the spiral development of current and next generation defence capabilities. The collaboration will include the development of new software capabilities for GlobalEye, Saab’s multi-role airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft; work on the foundations of a next-generation C2 ecosystem; and the modernisation of existing C2 products through the integration of Prevail.

Loïc Mougeolle, co-founder and CEO of Comand AI, said: “We are moving from a battlefield governed by words to a battlefield governed by mathematics. Operations where orders were given by speech and text are giving way to operations where perception, decision and action are defined and executed by algorithms.

“The nations that adapt fastest will prevail. We need deep European partnerships that can have global impact between established leaders and next-generation players. We are honoured to be collaborating with Saab to set a new state of the art in C5ISR and deliver it at scale to NATO forces and allies.”

Maxim Frenkel, Partner at Blossom Capital said: “Wars are increasingly decided by the speed and quality of command decisions. Comand AI is doing for military command what modern software did for every other industry: collapsing decision cycles, raising order quality, and bridging human leadership with autonomous execution.”

Carl-Johan Bergholm, Head of Business Area Surveillance at Saab said: “C5ISR systems are central to modern multi-domain operations, and advanced AI is an important enabler for future capability. By partnering with Comand AI, we are strengthening the development of Saab’s C2 and C5ISR capabilities while bringing Swedish defence expertise and French AI innovation together. This collaboration also underlines the value of European cooperation in support of long-term security.”

Prevail is Comand AI’s workspace for commanding any type of military operation. It is an AI-native platform built around a digital command staff of specialised agents - each expert in a specific function, from mission analysis and courses of actions generation to the control of the tactical situation and after-action. The platform is designed to compress the OODA loop at every echelon while preserving the quality of analysis and the primacy of human judgment.
