Munich startup SE3 has raised a $30M Series A led by Accel, with Keen, Lakestar and Seedcamp participating. The funding will support engineering, commercial and operations hires, a UK office and expansion in Germany and Ukraine.

SE3's software combines sensor data from drones and ground vehicles made by different manufacturers into a shared 3D view. It uses that view to coordinate routes and positions, with operators issuing voice commands. Processing runs on the devices themselves.

The company is deployed in Ukraine and works on contracts there and with Germany's Bundeswehr. Defence remains its focus; expansion into robotics and emergency response is planned from 2027.
