Apium™ builds platform-agnostic autonomy software that lets one operator coordinate large numbers of unmanned systems across air and maritime domains. Intelligence sits on each vehicle rather than in a central controller, so the swarm keeps adapting and executing when communications degrade or individual assets are lost.
A few or a hundred. Command many as easily as one.
// San Diego, CAVehicles within the swarm divide roles, synchronise and adapt dynamically between themselves. There is no central node and no master, so no single vehicle is a point of failure and the formation degrades gracefully rather than collapsing.
The operator commands intent. The swarm works out the allocation.
ONE TO MANYA single operator commands a swarm as easily as a single vehicle.
DECENTRALIZED AUTONOMYRoles divided and synchronised aboard the vehicles. No central node or master required.
DEGRADED COMMUNICATIONSThe swarm continues adapting and executing when the link degrades or assets are lost.
OVERMATCHOverwhelm through scalable mass, confuse from multiple angles.
ONE SWARM, MANY DOMAINSBuilt for homogeneous or heterogeneous vehicles, in the air and on the surface.
MAN ON THE LOOPA qualified operator holds control authority throughout. The swarm coordinates flight and tasks, not target decisions.
Employed as a deception or stimulation layer, a formation of vehicles can present as something it is not. Stimulate a firing position to reveal its position or expend interceptors.
The same capability turned inward becomes a training and validation tool: a ready-made adversary swarm to test, stress and validate counter-UAS systems, sensors and crews under realistic, repeatable conditions.
DECEPTION AND STIMULATIONFlight profiles that emulate varying threats, revealing firing positions and exhausting interceptors.
MASKINGA deception layer can conceal the real axis of an operation.
RED SWARMA ready-made adversary swarm for realistic, repeatable counter-UAS testing.
C-UAS VALIDATIONTest and stress counter-UAS systems, sensors and crews against coordinated mass.
SCALABLEThe same architecture runs a handful of vehicles or a hundred.
REPEATABLEConditions can be reproduced run after run, which is what makes results usable.
A portable system designed to support field deployment, command and coordination of Apium-enabled swarm operations. Everything a swarm operator needs, in one case.
A deployable red-team swarm capability using low-cost third-party unmanned aircraft, Apium autonomy hardware, a leased Swarm Field Deployment Kit and Apium swarm operators. Set the number of vehicles you want.
The same one-to-many architecture is used well outside a tactical context, which matters for anyone assessing the technology’s maturity and its supply chain.
MILITARY AND DEFENSECoordinated operations across air and surface domains.
SURVEILLANCE AND SECURITYPersistent mobile coverage of a site or a perimeter.
WILDFIREDetection and suppression support.
SEARCH AND RESCUECoordinated area coverage with a single operator.
REMOTE SENSINGOn land and at sea, including seafloor mapping and marine exploration.
EMERGENCY RESPONSEIncluding oil spill monitoring and response, and forestry management.
Add the field kit, an adversary services engagement or a complete Swarm Kit above, then submit a single request. Conversion, autonomy licensing, ground control, training and field support are specified through procurement. A member of the team will confirm specification and eligibility before anything is quoted.
