Idea
Not a new drone. A control layer for small drone teams operating without clean GPS or reliable comms.
GPS-denied autonomy
When the link dies, the mission continues.
GPS-denied mission software for cheap drone teams. Split coverage, survive dead links, reassign work, replay the run.
Why now
Cheap airframes, local sensing, edge compute, and physical AI demand are making autonomy operations the bottleneck.
Current proof
Physics-backed sim: split a search area, kill Scout-2 mid-run, log the failure, hand off the unfinished zone.
Principle
The demo should fail live. If one drone dies and the mission keeps going, the system is worth taking seriously.

Six-week build
| Week 1 | Reliable sim: search, deadlink, handoff, replay. |
|---|---|
| Week 2 | First low-cost indoor drone stack online. |
| Week 3 | GPS-off hold and short route. |
| Week 4 | Same mission contract in sim and hardware. |
| Week 5 | Cut the link during a controlled run. |
| Week 6 | No deck. Kill one drone. Mission continues. |
