EXPEDITIONARY AUTONOMYWASHINGTON, DC / USA

Built
forward.

Printed at the edge.
Commanded by AI.

Class 1 aircraft, field-deployable manufacturing, and intelligent command & control. Capability that moves with the mission.

01 / EDGE-1 PLATFORM

One airframe.
More possibilities.

A printed quad-multirotor airframe. Five swappable payloads. One common quick-release rail with blind-mate power and data. Reconfigure at the launch point in under two minutes.

02 / FORGE MANUFACTURING

The factory deploys
with the force.

Replace the long supply line with a local print queue. FORGE is a two-case additive manufacturing cell that runs on generator power. Consumables move forward as spools, not spares.

REPRESENTATIVE STEP DURATION

Field-hardened polymer / generator power

Print at the edge.

FORGE prints structural sets from field-hardened polymer. Move feedstock forward as compact spools and produce the parts where they are needed.

03 / OVERWATCH AUTONOMY

One operator.
Many aircraft.

Set the objective. OVERWATCH plans routes, deconflicts airspace, and allocates aircraft against commander’s intent.

Intent-based taskingObjectives in. Coordinated plans out.
Autonomous deconflictionOnboard separation between friendly UAS.
Resilient through link lossContinue the last approved intent and rejoin.
Open C2 integrationCoT and open telemetry for ATAK and MDC2.

Human-on-the-loop. Weapons-free decisions are never delegated to the autonomy stack.

04 / BUILT WITH PURPOSE

Built by operators.
Driven by engineers.

Small units lose aircraft faster than the industrial base replaces them. Edge UAS brings additive manufacturing, autonomy research, and combat aviation together to close that gap.
