The people behind Weapons for Peace.

Wyatt Lake

Wyatt Lake

Founder & President

Wyatt has built and flown drones and fixed-wing aircraft for most of his life, and has worked on drone simulators before.

He is a junior at Yale University, where he is a double major in Mechanical Engineering and Economics. He spent two years building AI-automated systems for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

A year as an Air Force ROTC scholarship cadet showed him where he wanted to be: on the contractor side, building the tools that the people in uniform train and operate with. As founder and president, he leads the company and its build in Unreal Engine 5 and C++, including the 3D modeling and photogrammetry.
