Problem Statement

Aging Rotorcraft Fleet: 90% of the Army’s ~5,500 helicopters are based on designs over 40 years old - faster, stealthier systems will be less vulnerable in modern combat zones.

 

Amphibious Mobility Constraints: Surface landing craft (LCAC, LCU, Zodiacs) are vital tools but face limitations in speed and environmental flexibility - creating potential bottlenecks in littoral operations.

 

Costly Platforms, Narrow Use Cases: In FY25 the Marine Corps will invest $2.6B for in 19 CH-53Ks and plans to buy $810M worth of amphibious combat vehicles, capable systems but future missions call for more flexibility, cost-effectivness and scalability.

 

Recognized Operational Gaps: Top military leadership has highlighted the need for new approaches, citing a lack of diversified platforms and the challenge of scaling legacy systems to meet emerging threats.

 

Rapidly Changing Threat Landscape: The Ukraine war and China's mass procurement of low-cost, agile drones illustrate how warfare is shifting. U.S. force structure must evolve to stay ahead as reflected in both the Army Transformation Initiative and Marine Corps Force Design 2030.

 

Future combat scenarios demand distributed, agile platforms operating in contested urban and coastal environments.

 

Yesterday's weapons will not win tomorrow's wars.  WE NEED SOMETHING BETTER

Our Solutions

Precision Mobility for the Urban Battlefield

Ultra-Agile Aerial Platform: Designed for fast, quiet movement through dense urban terrain over streets, between buildings, onto rooftops.
 

Small Footprint, Big Impact: Compact enough to land in alleyways or atop structures - no need for open landing zones.
 

Drone-Resilient Architecture: Built for survivability in drone-saturated environments with reduced heat, noise, and radar signatures.
 

Rapid Resupply & Extraction: Insert squads, extract wounded, or deliver supplies in minutes - not hours - without ground convoys.
 

Multi-Mission Flexibility: Reconfigurable for transport, attack, medevac, or logistics.  Mission-ready in a modular package.
 

Urban-Ready Autonomy: Assisted navigation, collision avoidance, and low-GPS operations support precision flying in complex cityscapes.

A New Era of Amphibious Mobility

Next-Gen Aerial/Amphibious Platform: A compact, high-speed, low-signature vehicle designed for contested force projection and contested logistics.
 

Stealth & Agility: Quieter and faster than traditional helicopters or boats, enabling rapid, surprise insertion and extraction.
 

Multi-Domain Capability: Operates across air, land, and sea.  Flexible enough for troop transport, supply drops, medevac, and reconnaissance.
 

Modular & Scalable: Configurable for different payloads and missions and adaptable for SOF, Marine, and Army use.
 

Drone-Era Resilience: Designed to survive and operate in environments saturated with low-cost drones and electronic threats.
 

Lower Cost, Higher Volume: Affordable enough to deploy in numbers, enabling redundancy, mass, and tactical diversity.
