Company

Built by warfighters,for warfighters.

Newtype Industries is a defense AI company headquartered in Seoul with a U.S. subsidiary in Virginia. We deliver software that ships into the field — not into slide decks.

CEO Message

The battlefield doesn't wait.
Neither do we.

In the age of AI warfare, hesitation is defeat. We build systems that are mission-ready tonight, not someday.

This is not innovation for innovation's sake. This is survival.

Joe Cho — Founder & CEO

Philosophy

How we build product.

01

Combatant-centered

We develop tangible solutions that save the lives of actual combatants and maximize combat efficiency. We reject easy, conceptual, and clichéd solutions.

02

Leading doctrine development

We are not satisfied with building to established doctrine. We build products that drive the evolution of the doctrines our customers currently hold.

03

Continuous iteration

The battlefield is constantly changing. Adopting Newtype is like having our engineering team embedded with your combatants — products that keep evolving.
