Scale
thesis
Scale is not a number. It is the capacity to regenerate combat power at speed. In autonomous warfare, no stockpile is large enough to determine the outcome. What follows is a contest between industrial systems. Advantage belongs to the side that can replace losses, expand production and convert output into combat power faster than its adversary.
MARROW Mk 1
MARROW is an autonomous robotic production node — a machine that builds machines. It will travel to where systems are being consumed and build them there. Robots will do the full assembly and will fabricate structural parts on site, so output will scale with the number of nodes rather than the size of a plant. Production stops being a place and becomes a network with no centre to strike. And these nodes will share what they know — consumption, schedules, design revisions — so a shortage will be visible before it arrives. Patent pending.
| TARGET OUTPUT | 120 drones per day, per node. |
| TARGET TIME TO FIRST UNIT | Under 60 minutes from arrival |
| NETWORK | Decentralised; builds reroute to the nodes still reachable |
| SUPPLY | Suppliers integrated into the same network, scheduled against confirmed capacity |
