Terra Industries is a Nigeria-based defense-technology company, positioning itself as Africa's first defense prime, that designs, manufactures, and deploys autonomous multi-domain security systems across air, land, and eventually sea. Founded in 2024 by Nathan Nwachuku and Maxwell Maduka, the company builds ArtemisOS (an AI-powered operating system for infrastructure security), the Archer long-range VTOL surveillance drone, the Iroko modular UAV, the Duma autonomous unmanned ground vehicle, and the Kallon solar-powered AI sentry tower to monitor, detect, and respond to threats such as terrorism, sabotage, and armed attacks on critical infrastructure including hydropower plants, mines, and power assets. Terra raised $11.75M led by 8VC in January 2026. As a hardware and defense-systems manufacturer it publishes no public API, developer portal, or technical documentation surface; this profile is maintained as a company/provider record in the API Evangelist network.
Terra Industries is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defense, Defense Technology, Autonomous Systems, and Drones.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.

notes: 'Defense hardware manufacturer (autonomous drones, UGVs, sentry towers, ArtemisOS). No public API, developer portal,
docs, OpenAPI, well-known, VDP, or trust-center surface (all 404 / non-resolving; confirmed via WebSearch + homepage fetch
+ live probes). Only real artifact: probed domain-security (TLS1.3/HSTS/CAA; no SPF/DMARC/DNSSEC). apis.yml identity/hygiene
improved.'
