ARES

Autonomous Resilient Edge Swarming

ARES is a secure autonomy framework designed to enable decentralized coordination and resilient communication across teams of unmanned systems. Purpose-built for operation in contested and GPS-denied environments, ARES allows distributed platforms to adapt, communicate, and maneuver independently of centralized control. The system blends secure communications, collaborative decision-making, and flexible path execution to maintain mission effectiveness under denied, degraded, and dynamic conditions.

ARES supports autonomous operation at the tactical edge, where traditional links are unreliable or unavailable. It enables secure swarm formation, mission-state synchronization, and adaptive routing across mobile nodes in a lightweight, platform-agnostic package. By allowing unmanned systems to collaborate in real time under threat, ARES enhances operational flexibility and persistence in complex environments.

Compatible with modern autopilot frameworks, edge processors, and mesh communications systems, ARES integrates into a wide range of Group 1–3 UAS platforms and tactical autonomy stacks. It is engineered to support distributed ISR, overwatch, and electronic warfare missions, advancing mission resilience through secure, self-organizing swarm behavior.

HAVOC

Hardened Aerial Vehicle Operations Communications

HAVOC is a secure communications protocol designed for unmanned systems operating in spectrum-constrained, EMCON, and cyber-contested environments. It provides robust protection for command, control, and ISR data flows using post-quantum cryptography and adaptive transport-layer obfuscation. Built on CNSA Suite 2.0 standards, HAVOC ensures long-term cryptographic resilience against quantum-enabled adversaries while minimizing RF signature and detectability.

Engineered for ISR and loitering platforms, HAVOC supports encrypted telemetry and data streaming over a range of contested and degraded links, including SATCOM, airborne relays, and terrestrial IP networks. Its protocol stack adapts to dynamic threat conditions and maintains communications integrity when conventional channels are degraded or targeted by advanced electronic warfare systems.

HAVOC is waveform-agnostic and compatible with modular radio architectures, enabling rapid integration into existing platforms and tactical communications systems. Designed for survivability, stealth, and cryptographic overmatch, HAVOC empowers unmanned and autonomous systems to operate securely and persistently in modern electronic warfare environments.

SPARTAN

Secure Path-routing with Autonomous Resilience for Targeting and Adaptive Navigation

SPARTAN is a secure, adaptive routing and autonomy framework for unmanned systems operating in denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) communications and navigation-contested environments. Designed to maintain operational continuity under threat, SPARTAN enables resilient navigation, dynamic path selection, and secure coordination across distributed platforms. Its architecture combines quantum-secure communications with autonomous decision-making to ensure mission performance when traditional control links are disrupted.

SPARTAN leverages multi-modal inputs to support collaborative routing, threat-aware repositioning, and distributed mission-state updates across mobile teams. Built for lightweight integration into airborne, maritime, and ground systems, it enables edge-level autonomy in scenarios where network degradation, signal denial, or environmental uncertainty threaten operational success. SPARTAN advances mission agility by supporting decentralized execution and adaptive maneuver in highly dynamic battlespaces.

SPARTAN operates as a modular communications and autonomy layer for tactical drone operations, secure relay networks, and resilient ISR missions. It is compatible with a range of open standards, autonomy frameworks, and secure networking overlays. Designed for flexibility and resilience, SPARTAN enhances operational assurance when centralized routing and traditional telemetry links are unavailable or compromised.
