Capabilities
Narrow
On Purpose.
Three engineering pillars support exactly two public programs, both in development: CORTEX for counter-drone response and REVENANT for tactical ISR. VERTEBRA is the named track-management and fire-control subsystem within CORTEX, not a third program.
CORTEX / VERTEBRA Track Management + Fire Control
Counter-UAS · CORTEX · R&D
Counter-UAS Response.
CORTEX is a counter-drone response system built around distributed ready stations with multiple compact, tablet-class interceptor drones. A radar track enters the VERTEBRA track-management and fire-control subsystem; a human verifies the track and authorizes launch and engagement. The selected interceptor is designed to pursue FPV, ISR, and small loitering-UAS threats and defeat the threat on impact.
Tactical ISR · REVENANT · R&D
Tactical ISR.
REVENANT is a compact, launcher-deployed, man-portable tactical ISR UAS for team-sized ground and special-recon elements when theater ISR is unavailable. The propeller-driven concept is intended to reduce acoustic and radar observability and to support ATAK/iTAK-compatible workflows. A 2,000-foot mission altitude and 2–4-hour endurance are design targets, not demonstrated specifications.
Track Management & Fire Control · VERTEBRA · Human Authority
Human-Controlled Fire Control.
VERTEBRA is the named track-management and fire-control subsystem inside CORTEX, not a standalone program. Tracks from local or integrated radar cue and enter VERTEBRA, which presents the track and response options. A person verifies the track and authorizes both launch and engagement; automation does not cross either decision boundary.
Manufacturing
Built Here.
CORTEX and REVENANT are being developed with U.S. manufacturing as a program constraint. Supply-chain, tooling, and manufacturing decisions are evaluated against that intent from the beginning.
Commercial components are considered where they can meet the requirement. Component choices and production approaches remain subject to prototyping, test, and qualification.
