VAUBREN / AUTONOMY SOFTWARE

CITADEL

Citadel is Vaubren's onboard autonomy software. It detects link denial in milliseconds, assumes command of the aircraft, and executes the operator's tasked mission within defined rules of engagement.

One picture. Live.

This is the live feed from Ghost G-03. Four Ghost aircraft hold a surveillance mesh over the area and track enemy armor moving on the supply road. One operator sees everything and owns every decision.

THE SOFTWARE

Citadel runs onboard the aircraft. When jamming is detected, it assumes command and delivers the operator's intent on the designated target.

01 / Human authority

Human authority, encoded.

Targets, rules of engagement and abort conditions are defined before launch. Citadel executes strictly within those bounds, never beyond them.

Swarm coordination
02 / Swarm logic

Coordinated autonomy at formation scale.

Aircraft share sensor data and dynamically re-allocate mission tasks, sustaining coordinated effects as individual links or airframes are lost.

Command room
03 / One picture

A common operational picture.

Operators plan the mission, monitor the formation, and retain command over every effect through a single interface, under active jamming.
