Company · Timeline
2020 to 2026.
A short, honest record of how Rewind Dynamics has developed — the decisions that shaped the company, the programmes we opened, and the milestone still ahead of us. We have deliberately built foundations before announcing products.
How To Read It
Foundations first.
Six years is a long time to work without a fielded product, and we are frequently asked about it. The answer is that autonomy rewards patience: the architecture decisions made early — running intelligence on the platform, keeping a human in command, proving behaviour in simulation before hardware — are extremely expensive to reverse later.
So the timeline below is mostly a record of foundations: a position taken, a team assembled, a programme opened, an architecture settled. The milestone that matters most is the one still ahead — our first real-world mission test, planned for December 2026.
Milestones
The record
so far.
Founded in New Delhi
Rewind Dynamics is established with a single objective: build autonomous systems that defence and military users can genuinely trust.
Aug 2020A position on trustworthy autonomy
We publish our view that the forces depending on autonomous systems should be able to inspect, adapt and own them.
Mar 2021Building the founding team
Recruitment begins in earnest across autonomy, perception, robotics and embedded systems.
Sep 2021Committing to the edge
We settle a foundational architectural decision: intelligence runs on the platform, never dependent on a link.
May 2022First unmanned aerial system programme
Focused development begins on our first autonomous UAV.
Nov 2022Human always in command
We formalise the principle that governs every system we build: machines execute, people decide.
Feb 2024Engineering facility expanded
More space, better test infrastructure and room to grow the team in New Delhi.
Apr 2025Humanoid research programme opens
A long-horizon programme into human-form robotic platforms begins formally.
Jun 2026The tactical edge thesis
We set out why small autonomous systems change what a dismounted team can see and do.
Dec 2026First real-world mission test
Planned: our first end-to-end mission test, moving from simulation into the physical world.
Dates reflect company milestones and published positions. Our systems remain in active research and development; nothing has been fielded. The December 2026 mission test is planned, not completed.
What's Next
The milestone
ahead.
Our first end-to-end mission test is planned for December 2026. Follow along, or talk to us before it.
