webAI, the leading private enterprise AI platform, announced a partnership with Aeon Industries to advance Zeus, Aeon’s autonomous weapon system, with Field AI, webAI’s distributed system that lets devices learn and share insights locally. This integration equips Zeus with federated learning, peer-to-peer overlays, and seed/leach model distribution enabling it to learn on its own, share knowledge securely, and adapt in contested environments.
With Field AI, models are seeded forward to Zeus units before missions and leached back afterward for refinement, allowing each deployment to improve without exposing raw data. Zeus is designed with a node-to-node federation architecture—units operate as a secure mesh of intelligence, exchanging encrypted insights laterally, so collective learning continues even if common links are degraded. With adaptive edge compute capability, webAI’s compressed inference stack running on-device, Zeus can classify threats in milliseconds, keeping decision makers ahead of adversaries. Whether jammed, denied, or disconnected, Zeus continues to sense, learn, and act. Field AI ensures decision advantage at the tactical edge.
“Field AI is built to operate in the harshest, most contested environments,” said David Stout, CEO of webAI. “By combining seed/leach model distribution with node-to-node federation, Zeus can continuously learn, share insights securely across all units, and adapt in real time. Even when connectivity is limited or communications fail, this technology ensures that operators maintain decision advantage and mission effectiveness at the tactical edge.”

Zeus is a modular, software-driven missile platform engineered for global scale and flexible deployment from manned or autonomous ground and aerial platforms. Its onboard software supports automatic target recognition, sensor-fed targeting (including real-time ISR), and continuous updates that expand capability over time, all designed to empower human operators with faster, clearer options in complex environments.
“Zeus is the first major advance in tactical weapon systems in decades,” said Naweed Tahmas, CEO of Aeon. “It was built from the ground up for precision, adaptability, and overmatch, combining modular design with advanced software-driven capabilities. By partnering with webAI, we’re taking that advantage even further — giving decision makers the ability to operate in contested environments with AI that learns, adapts, and evolves in real time.”
