The mission lives on the vehicle.
Missions compile to a structured instruction set, delivered whole to every vehicle before any of them moves. Execution is onboard — it continues when the ground link does not.
Distributed Intelligence Systems
Autonomous Fleet Coordination
VELITAE is the coordination and autonomy layer for uncrewed fleets. One operator defines the mission. The vehicles execute it — onboard, peer-to-peer, under absolute operator authority.
Field tested, not just simulated
Onboard execution — no cloud
AI assisted mission planning and execution
Every mission logged
01 / What We Build
The onboard intelligence that makes uncrewed vehicles behave as one resilient system — and the AI agent for mission planning and monitoring.
A mission is authored once — through voice commands or a chat with our custom AI agent — then compiled to a hardware-agnostic instruction set. Every vehicle carries the full mission and executes it onboard, coordinating with its peers over an RF mesh. The ground station observes and overrides — the fleet does not depend on it. Each node carries the mission. The fleet carries the resilience.
02 / The Platform
No central brain to lose.
Vehicles coordinate directly over the mesh — roles, formation, synchronization points. There is no single coordinator whose loss stops the fleet.
Continuity, not recovery.
One vehicle fails. The others detect it, promote a follower to lead, and continue the mission — in seconds, without waiting for instructions from the ground.
Override is absolute.
Pause, reposition, take manual control, or abort — any vehicle, at any moment. Autonomy serves the operator. It never outranks them.
03 / Mission Assistant
Describe the mission. The system builds it.
An embedded assistant with live access to fleet state turns operator intent into an executable mission. Type it or say it — in any language. The assistant authors the mission, monitors its execution, and intervenes when conditions require. Every consequential action waits for operator confirmation.

One conversation, any number of vehicles
Assistant — live fleet session
GCS screen capture
A-01
Builds missions from intent. Describe the objective; the assistant produces a complete, editor-ready mission for review and dispatch.
A-02
Monitors and intervenes. It holds live fleet state and watches operator-defined trigger conditions — when X happens, do Y.
A-03
Commands at fleet scale. One vehicle or the entire fleet, directed from the same conversation — typed or spoken, any language.
A-04
Gated by design. Destructive actions require explicit operator approval, enforced server-side. The assistant never holds final authority.
04 / Direct Control
Tactical video HUD — manual velocity control
GCS screen capture
When you want the stick, take the stick.
Any airborne vehicle can be flown directly from its live video feed. The software holds the aircraft: altitude, position, stability. The operator supplies direction. Nothing else is their problem.
M-01
The system keeps it flying. Release the controls and the vehicle holds altitude and position on its own. Input moves it. Silence stops it.
M-02
Dead-man by design. Motion requires continuous proof of a held control. Release, lose the link, or close the tab — the vehicle brakes and holds position. Nothing keeps moving because a screen stopped answering.
M-03
Built for arrival on scene. The vehicle launches and transits autonomously. On station, the operator takes over and moves it like a camera — closer, lower, around.
M-04
Speed under command. ×1 / ×3 / ×5 velocity scaling, validated server-side — the interface can never command a speed the system has not authorized.
05 / Field Record
A mission authored at the ground station. Multiple vehicles executing it onboard. Live video on the operator's screen. A leader lost — a follower promoted. The mission continued.
Flown on real hardware, over a real RF mesh, in the field. Not a rendering. Not a simulation.

07 / Interoperability
The fleet appears in the command picture your operators already use.
VELITAE publishes the live fleet — every vehicle, every objective — as Cursor-on-Target, the language the TAK ecosystem already speaks. It arrives on the servers and clients already in the operations room. No second console to watch. No workflow to replace. VELITAE does not ask to sit at the centre of your architecture. It reports into it.
Speak the language already in the room.
Vehicles and objectives render on the same map as everything else the operator is watching. Nothing new to install on their side. Nothing new to learn.
It publishes. It cannot be spoken to.
There is no inbound path — not disabled, not permissioned, absent. The command picture sees VELITAE. VELITAE takes no orders from it. Authority stays with the operator, on the operator's side of the link.
What leaves the fleet is your decision.
Detail is selectable. Reduced to its minimum, the feed carries presence and identity and nothing operational — a shared picture without a shared secret.
Verified against real systems.
Tested against live TAK server and client software over encrypted transport — not a specification we intend to meet one day.
COMPUTE
Any Linux computer
Coordination runs on any Linux-based companion computer — Raspberry Pi, Jetson, or your own custom board. Perception-grade compute is an option, not a requirement.
AUTOPILOT
ArduPilot today. PX4 by design.
The mission layer is autopilot-agnostic by contract — the instruction set does not care what flies it.
RF TRANSPORT
Mesh-validated
Field-validated on industrial mesh radios. Transport-agnostic by design.
AIRFRAME
No proprietary hardware
VELITAE sells no aircraft. It makes the fleet you already field behave as a system.Contact
