Robotics for the frontline

Put airpower in the warfighter's hands.

Cairnix builds attritable drones, distributed field nodes, and the software that lets operators mass, sustain, and command unmanned systems on contested ground — no runway, no single point of failure.

The system

The network is the product.

Cairnix system architecture Three stacked layers. Top: Air, Scree — attritable aircraft shown as amber dots. Middle: Nodes, Reskel — distributed field nodes shown as bone squares linked by a dashed node-to-node mesh. Bottom: Coordination, Threx — an amber-outlined bar reading mesh state, tasking, telemetry. Dashed amber links connect aircraft to nodes to coordination. Air · Scree Nodes · Reskel Coordination · Threx mesh state · tasking · telemetry

Lose any one node — capability degrades, it doesn't collapse.

The problem

Mass is cheap to start. Hard to keep in the fight.

Standing up unmanned airpower is the easy part. Sustaining it — launching, charging, relaying, repairing, and commanding it under contested, comms-degraded, GPS-denied conditions — is where forces stall. Cairnix owns that layer.

What we do

Three layers, one system.

Scree · Aircraft

Scree

Attritable, field-serviceable UAS that mass the airborne edge of the force.

Reskel · Nodes

Reskel

Distributed launch, charge, relay, and monitoring nodes — forward and emplaced.

Threx · Software

Threx

Coordination, telemetry, and sustainment across the whole mesh.

Where we're headed

From first flight to fielded mesh.

A disciplined build sequence — each phase proves the next before it starts.

  • Learning platform
  • Field kit
  • Support station
  • Monitoring node
  • Emplaced node
  • Integrated mesh
