§ PLATFORM THE KILL CHAIN AS A PLATFORM PHASE I · 2026
PROTOTYPE BUILD

One node.
Four stages.
Zero gaps.

Legacy counter-UAS stitches together sensing, command, and effectors from disconnected vendors. We built the full kill chain into a single deployable architecture at the cost point defense economics actually require.

BackboneSentinel Mk-I
EffectorRaptor INT-004
§ 01 — BACKBONE Every step is AI-driven, autonomous within rules of engagement, and measured in seconds — not the minutes demanded by a fragmented legacy stack.
Neura Sentinel Station
§ 02 · 01 — SENTINEL STATION S/N 004 · 2026

Sentinel.

Multi-sensor fusion, neuromorphic edge compute, and a 12-cell pneumatic launcher — one node, the whole loop.

The intelligence, tracking, and launch backbone.

One Sentinel replaces a fragmented stack of five — sensing, tracking, C2, launch, and effectors — and closes the sense-to-decide loop at the edge. Fixed-site or vehicle-mounted. Stand up a protected perimeter in hours, not months.

Designed for comms-denied environments: every engagement decision is made on-node, in milliseconds, without a cloud round-trip.

§ 02 · 02 — RAPTOR INTERCEPTOR INT-004 · 2026

Raptor.

Tube-launched. Expendable. Autonomous. AI terminal guidance from tube-exit to kinetic kill.

Raptor in launch tube, folded
§ 02 · 02a — TUBE CONFIGURATION

Folded in the tube. Open in the air.

Wings, tail, and control surfaces stow inside a 110mm cell. Pneumatic eject, 40-foot unfold, electric pusher ignites post-deploy. The airframe is expendable by design — the launcher isn't.

§ 03 · ENGAGEMENT LOOP

Tube to motor-on in under two seconds.

§ 03 Engagement loop Sense → Decide → Launch → Intercept

Seconds, not minutes. Autonomous within ROE.

One integrated engagement loop. The Sentinel classifies the threat, allocates a tube, and the Raptor takes it from tube exit to impact — without a human in the hot path.

01 / 04

Sense.

Multi-sensor fusion — RF, radar, EO/IR, acoustic — converges on one ground node. Target enters classification within milliseconds.

T+0.20s
02 / 04

Decide.

Neuromorphic compute at the edge — no cloud round-trip. Threat class assigned, tube allocated, ROE locked.

T+1.80s
03 / 04

Launch.

Pneumatic tube ejection. Raptor wings deploy on exit; electric pusher fires 40 feet out. Tube-to-motor-on in under two seconds.

T+impact
04 / 04

Intercept.

Terminal AI tracks the airframe through evasion. Kinetic kill confirmed; Sentinel returns to the loop for the next inbound.

§ 04 Legacy vs. Neura Platform economics

What changes when the kill chain becomes a platform.

Side-by-side against the stacks Neura replaces. Cost, latency, swarm tolerance, software layer — every dimension that matters in a contested environment.
