What we do

One system, three layers.

Aircraft are commodities. The defensible system is the mesh that launches, links, and coordinates them — so losing any one node degrades capability gracefully instead of collapsing it.

The architecture

How the layers fit.

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

No fixed runway. No single command point. No single radio.

Air

Scree

Attritable, field-serviceable UAS that mass the airborne edge of the force. Built to be lost without losing the mission, and repaired forward by the operators who fly them.

  • attritable by design
  • field-serviceable
  • sensor / relay
Nodes

Reskel

Distributed launch, charge, relay, and monitoring nodes — forward and emplaced. Each node is both infrastructure and a sensor: it sustains the aircraft and reports its own health and surroundings.

  • launch & charge
  • relay & monitor
  • emplaced or man-portable
Software

Threx

Coordination, telemetry, and sustainment across the whole mesh. Threx holds the authoritative mesh state — but the mesh keeps operating on last tasking and local autonomy if any one instance is unreachable.

  • mesh state & tasking
  • telemetry
  • provenance & sustainment

The aircraft is the start. The network is the system.
