Build qualities.
01 of 04
Rails on both faces
Two carbon rails on the top and the bottom of the airframe carry payloads and batteries on either face. A gimbal flies under the aircraft with the batteries above it, or a drop kit hangs below a battery-only deck. Changing sides takes four clamps.
02 of 04
Power and data at the rail
Regulated power and every data bus are brought out to sealed connectors. A new sensor is plugged in, not wired in, and the electronics bay stays closed to dust and water in the field.
03 of 04
Folds into one case
Six booms fold on locking joints and the landing gear comes off. The aircraft and its ground station travel together in one case that one person can carry.

Flies when jammed
If satellite positioning is jammed or spoofed, Caisson notices within seconds, climbs out of the zone and carries on with its own sensors. It never returns to a home position an attacker could have forged.
Where it serves.
Forward positions
Batteries, radios, medical kits and spare parts to positions a vehicle should not have to reach, without a crew or a convoy on the road.
Coasts and islands
Relay, overwatch and urgent supplies along coasts and out to islands, beyond the reach of a road.
Designed around the payload
Open rails.
Closed electronics.
Rails, not a bay
Open rails take any payload and any battery set without a custom bracket, and the weight sits where the crew puts it.
Power brought outside
Regulated supplies and every data bus on sealed connectors, so nothing is opened to fit a new sensor.
Folds, locks, travels
Booms fold on locking joints and the gear comes off, so aircraft, batteries and ground station travel as one.
Payloads.
Mounted on the rails, powered at the rail, flown with the same software.
