This layered architecture fuses perception, decision-making, communication, and control into a unified operating system for autonomous airpower. Built from first principles for contested, GPS-denied environments, the Autonomy Stack enables every drone to act independently—and as part of a coordinated, mission-driven team.
Each drone in the Vanthal swarm is equipped with onboard AI capable of detecting, identifying, inspecting, tracking, and engaging multiple targets simultaneously. Unlike traditional systems that rely on remote analysts or can only process one target at a time, Vanthal platforms make decisions at the edge—autonomously classifying threats, locking on, and responding in real time. This enables precision at scale, with every unit acting as an independent sensor-shooter capable of prosecuting dynamic targets without delay or external input.
Instead of relying on fragile GPS signals, our system uses a peer-to-peer method of spatial awareness. Platforms share relative positions through advanced sensor fusion and network triangulation, enabling accurate navigation and coordination even in jammed or denied environments.
Mission logic is distributed across the swarm. Each drone understands its role, monitors the operational picture, and can assume new responsibilities when needed. Whether covering a sector, tracking a threat, or executing a strike, tasking is dynamic, autonomous, and adaptable to mission flow.
Swarm elements communicate through a secure, low-latency mesh network that allows real-time collaboration without a central node. If one unit fails, the rest adapt instantly—maintaining coverage, avoiding collisions, and rebalancing roles without operator intervention.
Every airframe runs its own flight control logic at the edge, tuned for stability, endurance, and responsiveness. Whether loitering, maneuvering, or transitioning between modes, control logic is hardware-agnostic and optimized for autonomous performance across diverse platforms.
And all of it can be maintained by 3 maintainers per 75 drones.
Vanthal platforms cost 80–95% less than traditional Group 4/5 UAS systems like the MQ-9 Reaper or Shield AI’s larger autonomous aircraft. By avoiding proprietary hardware, reducing payload bloat, and focusing on swarm economics instead of exquisite airframes, we enable mass deployment without breaking the budget. A full swarm of 50–100 Vanthal drones can be fielded for the cost of a single legacy system, without losing mission flexibility or autonomy.
