Active

Sovereign, MOSA-based command-and-control software for unmanned weapons across land, air and sea. Automated target prioritisation and effector selection, swarm mission planning from operator intent, and a human-in-the-loop architecture that keeps the engagement decision with the operator. Designed as middleware into existing battle-management systems, with logs built for weapons-system certification.

    Integrate Raydiant RF electronic warfare onto the fleet

    The 4 September 2026 acquisition is supposed to take R-Zero from a single payload to a broader EW line and to feed spectrum data into Minerva. Watch for a named EW product beyond R-Zero and a fielded directional-link kit on Virtus or Gambit.
