The name Tiberius evokes strength, clarity, and enduring purpose. It draws from Tiberius Caesar, a symbol of strategic command, and the Tiber River, whose steady course shaped and sustained the rise of Rome. Tiberius Aerospace is rooted in Strength and Honor—a driving technology force behind the resilience, evolution, and exellence of allied defence.
Tiberius Aerospace was founded by Chad Steelberg in 2022 in response to a new era of conflict—where speed, adaptability, and cost-effective lethality have become essential to national security. The founding leadership team - Andy Baynes (Chief Strategy Officer), Tim Conners (Chief Engineer) and Michael Martin (Head of Finance and Corporate Development) - brings decades of deep expertise in defense, technology and innovation. Tiberius was built to serve the U.K., U.S., and their most trusted allies through a radically different model: Defense-as-a-Service (DaaS). This approach separates R&D from manufacturing, enabling rapid iteration, sovereign scalability, and continuous innovation on a global scale.
From its founding, Tiberius has been guided by a core ethos—Strength and Honor—and a mission to deliver next-generation weapons systems that are precise, scalable, and relentlessly effective. With flagship programs spanning guided munitions, advanced missiles, autonomous platforms, and AI-enabled lethality, Tiberius continues to shape the future of defense for those who stand for freedom, order, and peace through strength.
