§ PLATFORM THE KILL CHAIN AS A PLATFORM PHASE I · 2026
PROTOTYPE BUILD

One brain.
Four stages.
Zero gaps.

Legacy counter-UAS stitches together sensing, command, and effectors from disconnected vendors. We built the full kill chain into a single deployable architecture at the cost point defense economics actually require.

§ 01 — BACKBONE Every step is AI-driven, human on the loop, and measured in seconds — not the minutes demanded by a fragmented legacy stack.
§ 02 · 00 Neurex — the decision layer Software · ships in every deployment

Neurex. The brain of the platform.

Every Neura deployment runs the same intelligence layer. Neurex fuses evidence from every sensor, assesses each track against a versioned threat ontology, and cues the response within defined rules of engagement — then signs the record of what it saw and did. Hardware carries it; Neurex is the platform.

§ 02 · 0a The threat ontology Versioned · federated

It doesn't just detect. It understands.

At the core of Neurex is a versioned threat ontology — a structured model of everything the system knows about airborne threats. Every track is assessed through six layers before a recommendation is made, and the ontology itself keeps learning: federated updates move knowledge between deployments without moving raw data.

L1Entity

What is it?

Platform classes and signature profiles place every track in a taxonomy.

L2Behavior

What is it doing?

Flight patterns, intent, and coordination with other tracks.

L3Capability

What could it do?

Payload, endurance, and the threat the track could become.

L4Vulnerability

Where is it weak?

What the track depends on — and what that exposes.

L5Context

What surrounds it?

Asset value, airspace, weather, friendly forces.

L6Engagement

What does ROE allow?

Priority and escalation mapped to rules of engagement — as a recommendation. A person approves, modifies, or holds.

§ 02 · 01 — RAPTOR INTERCEPTOR INT-004 · 2026

Raptor.

Expendable. Autonomous. Built to close the last stage of the kill chain at interceptor economics.

Raptor in launch tube, folded
§ 02 · 01a — LAUNCH CONFIGURATION

Folded in the tube. Open in the air.

The airframe stows compactly for launch and deploys in the air. Expendable by design — the launcher isn't.

§ 03 · ENGAGEMENT LOOP

Launch to airborne in seconds.

§ 03 Engagement loop Sense → Decide → Launch → Intercept

Seconds, not minutes. Autonomous within ROE.

One integrated engagement loop. Neurex classifies the threat, cues the launch, and the Raptor closes the engagement — within defined rules of engagement, with a human on the loop.

STAGE 01
01 / 04

Sense.

Multi-sensor fusion — RF, radar, EO/IR, acoustic — converges on one ground node. Target enters classification within milliseconds.

STAGE 02
02 / 04

Decide.

Neuromorphic compute at the edge — no cloud round-trip. Threat class assigned, tube allocated, ROE locked.

STAGE 03
03 / 04

Launch.

The Raptor leaves its cell and transitions to powered flight in seconds, clear of the Station.

STAGE 04
04 / 04

Intercept.

The Raptor closes on the target through evasion. Kill confirmed; the platform returns to the loop for the next inbound.

§ 04 Legacy vs. Neura Platform economics

What changes when the kill chain becomes a platform.

Side-by-side against the stacks Neura replaces. Cost, latency, swarm tolerance, software layer — every dimension that matters in a contested environment.
