Securing Forward Airfields in Contested Environments

Force protection and reconnaissance dominance for Air Mobility Command

The Challenge

Contingency Response Wings Face an Asymmetric Threat

Air Mobility Command's Contingency Response Wings (CRW) must secure and operate from forward airfields under constant threat. Adversary drones, dismounted personnel, and vehicles can approach through dense vegetation surrounding austere locations, invisible to existing sensors until it's too late.

Traditional ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) platforms are expensive, centralized, and optimized for open terrain. They leave critical surveillance gaps in exactly the environments where CRWs operate: jungle airstrips, wooded mountain bases, vegetation-surrounded contingency locations.

The Solution

Persistent Autonomous Security That Sees Through Cover

Perimeter Surveillance Through Vegetation

Our canopy-penetrating imaging detects heat signatures beneath dense vegetation surrounding the airfield. Adversaries can't use tree cover to mask approach.

Natural Language Mission Planning

Operators describe mission objectives in plain English from the ground station. The system generates optimized swarm configurations that adapt to changing conditions.

Threat Detection & Tracking

When threats are detected, the swarm can dynamically reallocate resources to maintain custody. Distributed coordination ensures continuous coverage.

Degraded Environment Operations

When communications are degraded, the swarm continues operating. Edge processing and local coordination mean no single point of failure.
