    "detailed": "Ares Industries is a defense technology startup founded in 2024 and headquartered in El Segundo, California. The company's core mission is to revolutionize anti-ship warfare by developing low-cost, next-generation cruise missiles. Their missiles are engineered to be significantly smaller and more cost-effective than existing options, aiming to be 10 times smaller and 10 times cheaper. These products are compatible with existing launch platforms, can deliver smaller payloads at high subsonic speeds, and are capable of striking targets hundreds of miles away."
