Command the Unmanned.

Autonomous mission systems that unify communications, sensors, and unmanned platforms into a single operational network. Built for resilient operations, scalable autonomy, and sovereign control.

01 · The problem

The first target.

Adversaries don't attack drones first. They attack the networks that connect them. When communications fail, coordination fails. Modern autonomous forces require connectivity that survives the fight.

A multi-domain force — jets, drones, helicopters, a warship, tanks and an air-defense battery — networked together beneath a protective connectivity dome fed by a satellite link.

Denied Comms

VULNERABILITY

Unmanned and autonomous platforms are only as effective as the link that controls them. The moment that datalink is jammed, they go dark and the entire doctrine of fielding low-cost, expendable systems collapses with it.

Severed C2

THREAT

Peer adversaries are systematically targeting the signals that hold autonomous forces together by jamming communications, spoofing GPS, and severing command and control. The result: blinded sensors, stranded effectors, and operators who can no longer close the loop.

Unified Operations

NEED

Modern forces require a connectivity layer that holds under active jamming and keeps every platform — air, land, sea, and space — fighting as one networked force. The warfighter needs resilient, space-based comms that stay up when the spectrum itself is contested.

02 · THE SOLUTION

The Unified Operating Layer.

AERKOMM is the connectivity layer that links platforms, sensors, and networks into a single coordinated force. 

The integration layer — a central processing core linking a stealth aircraft, a layered multi-domain force stack, an AI compute module, and a global connectivity sphere via signal pathways.

03 · The 5-Layer Control Stack

Autonomous control stack.

The system brain for multi-domain operations. An AI-driven connectivity and integration layer unifying sensor fusion, communications, radar, ESM, and autonomous platforms into a single operational fabric.

The 5-layer autonomous control stack rendered as five stacked translucent platforms — multi-domain platforms on top, through sensors, edge compute, and connectivity, down to the conformal-antenna airframe at the base.

Layer 1Hardware

Conformal ESA Hardware

Physical antenna integration.

  • Radar signature: flush integration preserves stealth and minimizes flight drag.
  • Multi-orbit agnosticism: ESAs switch orbital layers instantly, cutting EW jamming.
  • Hardened connectivity: continuous high-bandwidth data for AI sensor fusion in GPS-denied zones.
A UAV airframe with a conformal electronically-scanned-array antenna integrated into its skin as an orange grid panel, emitting RF beams.
3.2
Layer 2Hardware

Multi-Network Connectivity

Agnostic routing of SATCOM and microwave links.

  • Multi-layered redundancy: LOS mesh, tactical data links, and SATCOM orchestrated as one fabric.
  • Jam-resilient: holds under electronic attack in severely contested, GPS-denied environments.
Connectivity layer routing across line-of-sight mesh, tactical data links, and multi-orbit SATCOM (GEO, MEO, LEO) from a central ground node.
3.3
Layer 3Hardware

Edge AI Compute

On-board hardware acceleration.

  • The bottleneck: current compute is optimized for data processing, not real-time autonomous decision-making.
  • The Aerkomm differentiator: our MIMD architecture delivers a massive leap in compute density under strict constraints.
MIMD (Aerkomm Edge AI): a single input core branching into many parallel decision paths, each terminating in its own output — massively parallel on-board autonomy.
3.4
Layer 4Software

Sensor Fusion & Integration

Sensor and data aggregation from multi-domain platforms.

  • Standardized: aggregates radar, ESM, and comms into a unified Common Operating Picture (COP).
  • Seamless: interoperability across multi-domain systems via an automated interface layer.
An Automated Interface Layer (AIL) fusing radar, ESM, and comms feeds from a UAV, ground EW vehicle, and naval drone into a unified common operating picture driving connected effectors.
3.5
Layer 5Software

Swarm Orchestration (SaaS)

Distributed platforms coordinating autonomous swarms through mission-level control.

  • Decentralized control: distributed swarm coordination with real-time tasking and role assignment.
  • Multi-domain execution: human-on-the-loop command spanning air, sea, and land.
A distributed swarm of autonomous aircraft and naval craft self-organizing through a coastal relay node, coordinated as one orchestrated force at night.
04 · Sovereign Manufacturing

Sovereign aligned manufacturing.

Decoupling from adversaries with a closed-loop global manufacturing footprint — North America to the Indo-Pacific, engineered for sovereign control end to end.

Supply Chain

RESILIENCE

The defense sector can no longer rely on fragile or foreign-controlled dependencies. Built with strict sovereign alignment.

Elite Experience 

PEDIGREE

Backed by Tier-1 automotive and Apple manufacturing experience, ensuring high- yield precision manufacturing at scale.

Sourcing

FOOTPRINT

Enabling regional manufacturing across the Indo-Pacific and NATO, keeping supply chains close to decision-makers.
