Peregrine Industries Announces Strategic Investment with Capital Q® Ventures

Investment supports the continued development and production of Peregrine’s autonomous strike and counter-UAS systems

MAITLAND, FL, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Peregrine Industries, Inc., a U.S. defense technology company developing autonomous strike and counter-UAS systems, today announced a strategic partnership with Capital Q^® Ventures Inc., joining the firm’s portfolio of emerging and growth-stage companies. The relationship will support Peregrine’s capital formation initiatives and continued development of its autonomous defense technologies.

Peregrine is developing a family of lightweight autonomous systems designed for modern battlefield environments. Its current platforms include Kestrel, a hand-launched military strike system; DRACO, a counter-UAS platform in development; and Eagle-1, a commercial autonomous delivery platform.
The company’s approach is built around a growing defense need for systems that can be produced and deployed at scale without sacrificing range, precision or autonomy. Rather than developing a single platform around a single mission, Peregrine is building a family of systems spanning strike, counter-UAS and networked applications, with a focus on creating adaptable technology that can address multiple operational requirements.

“Peregrine was built around a straightforward idea: unmanned weapons have shifted global economies and will shape future battlefields, and we owe our warfighters the best-in-class capabilities,” said Greg Place, Co-Founder of Peregrine Industries. “Capital Q understands both the urgency of that mission and the work required to grow a defense technology company. We look forward to having their team alongside us as we continue advancing our platforms and capabilities.”

Peregrine has already begun moving its technology through military testing and evaluation environments. Kestrel has advanced through the U.S. Army’s xTech Edge Strike Ground program, while Peregrine reports participation in military exercises and capability events in Germany, Lithuania and the United States, including Project Flytrap in Lithuania. The company also reports integration of its Strike and Counter-Strike technology with Anduril’s Lattice platform and U.S. Army’s Integrated Battle Command System for Maneuver Forces.

The company is currently raising a $3 million pre-seed round as it works to advance product development and testing, establish pilot production capacity and expand its manufacturing capabilities. Peregrine’s stated goals for this next stage also include finalizing and certifying munition integration, advancing training and product sales, developing global distribution pathways and establishing additional autonomous launching partnerships.

“What stood out to us about Peregrine was the team’s understanding of the operational problem they are solving and the way they have built around it,” said Trip McCaffrey, Executive Director of Venture Capital at Capital Q^® Ventures. “They aren’t developing a single product around a single use case. They’re building a family of systems designed to address different mission requirements, with a clear focus on performance, deployment and production. We believe there is a meaningful opportunity here, and we’re looking forward to supporting the team as they continue to grow.”
