Pytho AI Revolutionizes Military Mission Planning

Pytho AI aims to reduce mission planning time from days to minutes. Founded by former Marine human-intelligence officer Michael Mearn, the startup seeks to transform the Department of Defense's planning process.

Mearn's idea for Pytho AI stemmed from his experience watching planners spend days building mission plans for a single operation. The company is a Top 20 Startup Battlefield finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.

War plans aren’t just for large-scale conflicts, but for everyday service members executing plans for everything from disaster preparation to flight missions.
