Gallows
VTOLRunway-independent vertical take-off and landing, tuned for persistent ISR at the edge of the fight. Deployed from a clearing, a deck, or a road. No runway, no crew, no signature.
[ LIVE ] / Olympus OS · Cognitive Autonomy
Olympus OS delivers cognitive autonomy across air, surface, and subsea. Alert to Action in under two seconds. No cloud required.
[ 002 ] Why Olympus OS
01
Sub-two-second reroute at the edge. No cloud dependency, no round trip, no waiting on bandwidth to make the call.
02
TAK-native and zero-trust by design. Interoperable with joint force C2, hardened for contested environments.
03
Architected from day one for airworthiness, seaworthiness, and program-of-record certification pathways.

[ 005 ] Platforms
Runway-independent vertical take-off and landing, tuned for persistent ISR at the edge of the fight. Deployed from a clearing, a deck, or a road. No runway, no crew, no signature.
Low-signature unmanned surface vessel for littoral dominance, port defense, and long-dwell swarm surveillance. Hybrid-diesel propulsion with silent electric loiter. Sea-State 5 capable.
Fully submerged autonomy for subsea survey, seabed monitoring, and denied-environment operations. Pressure-rated titanium hull. It goes where comms don't and comes back with the map.
[ 006 ] TAK-Native

Zero integration. Zero new UI.
Every Olympus event publishes as native CoT into the operator's existing ATAK / WinTAK / iTAK common operating picture. Tracks, alerts, and reroutes appear where the team already looks — no separate console, no cloud round-trip.
[ 007 ] Mission Profiles
01
Siren · Gallows
Port Tampa Bay · Restricted channel
A small craft deviates from the commercial traffic lane during a high-security vessel transit. Siren picks up the track via radar and AIS fusion; Olympus OS classifies it as anomalous within one second. Gallows is cued automatically, confirms visual contact, and publishes a CoT alert to the operator's ATAK tablet. The watch commander reroutes Siren to intercept and illuminate without leaving the TOC.
Outcome
Alert-to-action: 1.6s. Operator verified, no manned launch.
02
Gallows
Austere operating location · No runway
An isolated support node lacks airfield infrastructure and persistent ISR. Gallows launches from a two-person footprint, autonomously orbits the perimeter, and detects movement outside the wire. Olympus OS reacts: reroute, loiter, and geolocate, pushing a track with imagery to the security team. The platform recovers vertically when the mission is complete.
Outcome
Runway-independent orbit. 5-minute cold start to on-station.
03
Abaddon · Siren
Coastal channel · Critical seabed
A port authority needs continuous seabed condition monitoring without diver exposure or vessel downtime. Siren tends an Abaddon UUV at the operating area. Abaddon runs a terrain-relative survey, classifies seabed changes, and surfaces to offload data via the Siren relay. The entire mission publishes into the existing C2 picture.
Outcome
24-hour autonomous coverage. Zero dive-team sorties.
[ 008 ] Integrations
C2
Native Cursor-on-Target publisher. Tracks, alerts, and reroutes appear directly in the operator's existing ATAK, WinTAK, or iTAK picture — no separate console, no retraining.
Autonomy
Onboard autonomy and sensor nodes run on a hardened ROS backbone, enabling rapid payload integration, simulation-to-reality behaviors, and third-party algorithm hosting.
Flight Control
Standard MAVLink interface to flight controllers, payloads, and ground stations. Fly-by-autonomy with human-on-the-loop oversight and full telemetry backhaul.
Beyond LOS
Iridium, LTE-M, and tactical SATCOM failover keep Olympus assets reachable when line-of-sight RF is blocked or the fight moves past the horizon.
[ 009 ] Security & Compliance
01
Olympus OS assumes no trust by default. Every asset, operator, and message is authenticated and authorized continuously, not once at the perimeter. Least-privilege access keeps the command picture limited to the people who need it.
02
Mission data is processed at the edge on the platform. No cloud dependency means no required data egress, no external aggregation, and sovereign control over sensitive information. Transit and rest protections are built into the architecture.
03
The platform is built from day one to support NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 certification pathways. Controls, audit logs, and supply-chain traceability are designed into the stack so program-of-record accreditation is a continuous outcome, not a late fix.
