Effect
thesis
IN AUTONOMOUS WARFARE, EVERY ADVANTAGE IS TEMPORARY. THE SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS AN EDGE TODAY BECOMES THE TARGET OF ANALYSIS TOMORROW. AS AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS GROW MORE SOPHISTICATED, EVERY SENSOR, NETWORK AND SOFTWARE LAYER BECOMES A POTENTIAL POINT OF ATTACK. THE DECISIVE ADVANTAGE LIES NOT ONLY IN BUILDING THE BEST SYSTEM, BUT IN STAYING AHEAD OF THE CYCLE OF ADAPTATION - CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVING BOTH THE HARDWARE AND THE INTELLIGENCE THAT DRIVES IT.
ATOMZA
ATOMZA is a reusable, non-kinetic, photon-based counter-drone effector. Autonomous systems depend on their sensors. ATOMZA saturates them with high-intensity light. Because the effect is light alone, it can be used where kinetic and radio-frequency methods cannot — over people, near airports, in ports and cities.

PHAGE I-1
PHAGE is a swarm node, an airframe optimized for robotic production. A new revision will be a build file rather than a retooled line, so the airframe can keep pace with the threat. The first configuration is a tailsitter VTOL, shaped for cruise efficiency and for kinetic interception — the first of a family.
