Tiberius Aerospace

Tiberius Aerospace

Defense technology provider via DaaS licensing

Overview

Tiberius Aerospace provides defense technology through a Defense-as-a-Service model, licensing its IP and integrating an AI platform so allied governments can manufacture weapons in‑country. It separates R&D from manufacturing to enable rapid, ongoing updates to its systems, with in‑country production and IP licensing as core features. It differentiates itself by enabling sovereign capability, forming alliance-focused partnerships (including UK MoD work and DIU validation) rather than relying on a few large contractors. Its goal is to supply licensed defense technologies to allied nations, accelerate development cycles, and reduce dependence on a small number of traditional contractors.

Tiberius Aerospace appoints Colonel Steven Cummings USA (Ret) to Advisory Board. Date Posted: 18.03.2026 Tiberius Aerospace, a modern defence technology company built to empower the United States, the United Kingdom and their global allies with next-generation weapon systems and AI-powered solutions, today announced that Colonel Steven Cummings, USA (Ret), Vice President of Strategic Client Relations at Day & Zimmermann, has joined the company's Advisory Board. He brings decades of experience in defence operations, logistics and industrial collaboration across the United States and allied defence ecosystems. Colonel Cummings joins Tiberius Aerospace at a time when governments and armed forces are seeking faster ways to translate increased defence spending into real capability on the battlefield. His experience bridging military operations and the defence industrial base will support Tiberius Aerospace as it expands its work advancing next-generation defence technologies and capability delivery. Cummings currently serves as Vice President of Strategic Client Relations at Day & Zimmermann, a major provider of engineering, construction and munitions services to the U.S. government and allied defence organisations. Prior to this role, he served as President of Chemring Group US and Chemring Sensors and Electronic Systems, and as a member of the company's U.S. board. In this capacity, he oversaw Chemring's portfolio of critical chemical, biological and improvised explosive device (IED) detection systems, including multiple U.S. Government Acquisition Category II Programs of Record. He also held senior roles as Chemring Group's Vice President of Global Business Development and Vice President of Business Development for North America, where he was responsible for strengthening customer relationships and driving business growth across the region. A retired U.S. Army colonel, Cummings completed a distinguished 28-year career in the U.S. Army. He served in several senior leadership positions, including Project Manager for Close Combat Systems at PEO Ammunition, where he oversaw the procurement and management of more than 200 ammunition items and counter-IED systems. In 2011, he personally led the training teams responsible for fielding that equipment to operational units in Afghanistan. In his final government role as Project Director for Joint Services, Cummings led the Department of Defense's conventional ammunition demilitarisation program and was responsible for modernising the U.S. Army's Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated (GOCO) ammunition production facilities. Cummings holds a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, an MBA from Clemson University, and a Master's Degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College. His military decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal, two awards of the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star for service in Afghanistan, and the Army Staff Badge. He also serves on the Board of Advisors of Tworx, LLC, and on the Board of Directors of Greenrose Holding Corporation (OTC: GNRS). At Tiberius Aerospace, he will advise the company's leadership on strengthening partnerships with governments, defence organisations, and industrial partners as it advances new approaches to defence capability delivery. Commenting on his new role, Colonel Steven Cummings (Ret) said, "Modern defence requires much closer integration between the military, industry and innovators. Tiberius Aerospace is focused on solving one of the most pressing challenges facing defence today - how to deliver capability faster while strengthening the industrial base. I'm delighted to join the Advisory Board and support the company as it works with partners across government and industry to accelerate the delivery of critical capabilities." Michael Martin, President of Tiberius Aerospace, said, "The appointment reflects the company's commitment to bringing together leaders with deep operational and industrial expertise. "Steve brings an exceptional combination of operational military experience and deep understanding of the defence industrial ecosystem. His insights into how governments, industry and operators can work together more effectively will be invaluable as we scale Tiberius Aerospace and help partners translate growing defence investment into real capability at speed." Cummings joins a growing group of senior defence, technology and policy leaders advising Tiberius Aerospace as the company expands its work supporting allied nations in strengthening their defence innovation ecosystems and industrial resilience.

Date Posted: 10.03.2026 Tiberius Aerospace, a modern defence technology company built to empower the UK, US and their global allies with next-generation weapon systems and AI-powered solutions, today announced the appointment of Rob Murray, Chief Executive Officer of the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB) Development Group and a leading architect of NATO's defence innovation ecosystem, to its Advisory Board. Murray brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of defence, finance and emerging technologies. He is widely recognised for shaping how allied nations mobilise capital and innovation to strengthen national security and industrial resilience. As NATO's inaugural Head of Innovation, Murray led the creation of the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) and the NATO Innovation Fund, a $1 billion multi-sovereign venture capital fund designed to accelerate investment in dual-use technologies across the Alliance. These initiatives were created to connect governments, industry, investors and technology innovators to accelerate the development and adoption of emerging capabilities for defence and security. Murray is currently CEO of the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank Development Group, which is working to establish a new international financial institution designed to mobilise large-scale capital for defence and security investment among allied nations. He previously served as Chief Innovation Officer at Saab and spent nearly a decade at NATO Headquarters in Brussels working on defence investment, intelligence, and emerging technologies. At Tiberius Aerospace, Murray will advise the company on strategic partnerships, defence innovation ecosystem and the financing structures required to scale next-generation defence technologies and strengthen allied industrial capacity. Chad Steelberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Tiberius Aerospace said: "Rob has been at the centre of the effort to rethink how the West funds and accelerates defence innovation. His work connecting governments, capital and technology builders has fundamentally reshaped the ecosystem around emerging defence capabilities. As we expand our Grail platform and bring new technologies to market, Rob's experience in building allied innovation networks and mobilising investment will be invaluable." Rob Murray said, "We're entering a period where the speed at which allies can innovate, finance and field new capabilities will shape the strategic balance. What excites me about Tiberius is its willingness to rethink how defence technology is built, funded and delivered. I'm humbled and honoured to be asked to join the Advisory Board." Murray also serves as a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security and teaches innovation and strategy at Johns Hopkins University. A former British Army officer, he has spent his career advancing collaboration between governments, industry and capital markets to accelerate the development of emerging defence and security technologies. His appointment further strengthens Tiberius Aerospace's Advisory Board as the company expands its work to deliver new technologies and platforms that enable faster procurement, stronger domestic supply chains and better value for allied defence spending.

Tiberius Aerospace Welcomes Professor Dame Fiona Murray DCMG CBE to Advisory Board

Tiberius Aerospace welcomes Professor Dame Fiona Murray DCMG CBE to Advisory Board. Date Posted: 04.03.2026 Tiberius Aerospace, a modern defence technology company built to empower the UK, US and their global allies with next-generation weapon systems and AI-powered solutions, today announced the appointment of Professor Dame Fiona Murray DCMG CBE to its Advisory Board. Professor Dame Fiona Murray DCMG CBE is Chair of the NATO Innovation Fund and has previously served on the British Prime Minister's Council on Science and Technology. She was awarded a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) for her services to innovation and entrepreneurship in the United Kingdom and appointed Dame Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (DCMG). She served on the Ministry of Defence Strategic Advisory Review and is a member of the MOD Defence Industrial Joint Council. Murray is also the William Porter (1967) Professor of Entrepreneurship. A globally recognised expert on science, technology and innovation policy, Murray advises governments, industry and research institutions on building innovation ecosystems that drive economic competitiveness, national security and societal resilience. Her appointment comes as Tiberius Aerospace accelerates delivery of its Sceptre 155 mm extended-range ramjet precision-guided ballistic munition designed to reach ranges beyond 140-160 km with high accuracy for NATO-standard artillery and GRAIL, its AI-powered software platform that brings software-era transparency, competition and data-driven decision-making to weapons procurement and manufacturing across sovereign defence supply chains. Commenting on the announcement, Andy Baynes, Co-Founder of Tiberius Aerospace, said: "To deliver capability at the speed and scale required by today's security environment, we must pair advanced engineering with new approaches to acquisition and industrial expansion. Through Sceptre, we are pursuing extended-range, precision-guided artillery effects that transform deep fires capability. With GRAIL, we are applying AI-enabled analytical tools to bring greater transparency, innovation and competition to weapons procurement and sovereign manufacturing. We must mobilise and weaponise NATO's supply chain so that thousands of suppliers are competing on price and performance in a secure, managed framework. Dame Fiona's experience in shaping innovation ecosystems and aligning research, policy and industry will be invaluable as we continue to scale these offerings for allied partners." Professor Dame Fiona Murray added "The modern defence landscape demands not just technical innovation but a systems approach that links private sector ingenuity to production and impact at scale. Tiberius Aerospace's blend of advanced capabilities and AI-driven industrial modelling represents a compelling step towards closing that gap. I am honoured to join the Advisory Board and support the company as it works with governments and industry to strengthen innovation, resilience and performance across allied defence ecosystems."
