Mission
We build systems that are scalable, rapidly deployable, and operationally ready. Our focus is on closing capability gaps Europe cannot continue to outsource.
Principle
Sovereign
Focus
European build
Posture
Verifiable
Vision
Autonomous airpower operating as one fleet: aircraft under Zalmoxis command, SAI on board, authority held by the operator throughout. Built to deter, sized for scale.
Outcome
Interoperable

03 — Principles
01 / Autonomy
Decisions made in milliseconds, with mission constraints and authorization rules expressed as engineering primitives — not as policy promises.
02 / Sovereignty
Source-available to government customers. Designed, manufactured, and supported in Europe, with a supply chain we audit ourselves.
03 / Performance
Mach 0.95-class airframes. Sensor-to-actuator latency measured in tens of milliseconds. Designed for contested airspace where time-on-target is the constraint.
04 — Platform
Strigoi · SAI · Zalmoxis
Aircraft
Autonomous combat aircraft
A stealthy, high-subsonic UCAV designed for air superiority and point defense. Jet-powered, internal weapons bay, low-RCS shaping, AESA radar integration, and encrypted mesh comms — for the missions where decisions are measured in milliseconds. SAI runs on board, holding the mission inside the authorized envelope when the link to Zalmoxis degrades.
