Denied-environment autonomy

The drone that works
when nothing else does.

When RF is jammed, GPS is spoofed, and comms are dead, most drones become expensive litter. DARKSTAR coordinates, navigates, and engages without any RF signature. Same brain. Three domains. One swarm.

The Engine

One engine runs everything.

The same code that simulates the drone controls the drone. Same physics. Same terrain. Same adversary model. Same deterministic replay.

Hive

Learns across missions. Trains the model. Deploys to the swarm.

Swarm

Coordinates in flight. No RF required.

Drone

Executes autonomous flight and human-in-the-loop engagement.

Simulation

Proves it works before it flies. GAIA terrain. Adaptive adversary.

Dark Mode

No radio. No GPS.
No telemetry. No command link.

DARKSTAR coordinates through proprietary methods that leave zero RF footprint. Each drone knows what every other drone will do. Lost drones do not degrade the swarm.

Products

Four products. One mission brain.

Simulation, training, autonomy, and deployment are separate surfaces on the same deterministic engine.

War Game

Train against adaptive dark swarms on your real city. No polygon on a grid; your CIV, rail, buildings, and streets become the range.

The adversary learns. Kill rates degrade over ten engagements because the swarm adapts to your defenses.

Flight Sim

Train operators on real drone types over real terrain. Same engine. Same physics as the war game.

Same mission logic, same degraded comms, same terrain failure modes.

Dark Swarm Drone

The drone that coordinates without RF. Three domains, one swarm.

Air, sea, and land variants share the same mission brain.

Darkstar Engine

The runtime that controls real drones in the field and makes the next mission smarter.

Every sortie makes the next swarm sharper.
Human-in-the-loop

There is no autonomous engagement code path. Not a setting. Not a mode. It does not exist.

The targeting system outputs a recommendation and an evidence trace. The operator sees the recommendation, sees the evidence, and makes the decision.

Commander

Authorizes the mission.

Operator

Decides to engage or hold.

Observer

Monitors mission state and evidence traces. Cannot engage.

Physical authorization

Weapons require physical authorization. Geofence and civilian exclusion zones are hardware-enforced, not policy-enforced.

Captured drone? Nothing to give.

If a drone is captured, proprietary authorization ensures the hardware reveals nothing. No model. No mission data. No coordination keys.

GAIA Terrain Engine

Type any city name. Get a photorealistic 3D scene in minutes.

Real buildings. Real heights. Real satellite imagery. Real roads. Real water. A city is not a texture — it is the operating environment.

Red Sea, 2024
$1M missile vs $20K drone.
S3

FPV Swarm

Ukraine frontline
EW works on RF drones. Fails on dark drones.
S4

What we build

We are an end-to-end manufacturer. Not a software company selling licenses.

We build the drone. We build the swarm. We build the enclave. We build the hive. We build the simulation. One-time sale.

Deterministic replay

Deterministic replay is a control surface.

Same seed — identical result. Branch any tick. Diff any two runs. Audit every decision. The point is not just training realism; the point is proving exactly why a mission behaved the way it behaved.

This is what DoD procurement requires. This is what nobody else provides.

In the dark, they don't need to talk. They already know.

The drone that works when nothing else does.
