Citadel Command
Operations view: live picture, tracks, aircraft status and route control on one screen.Design preview
One picture for the operator. Onboard autonomy on every aircraft. A human in command of every engagement.
Plans, coordinates and executes unmanned systems across the mission
Citadel was built as command and control software for unmanned systems. It runs onboard each aircraft, links aircraft to each other, and gives one operator a single picture to command from.
It also lets a small team run combined operations from one rugged laptop or tablet: minutes to set up, rules set before the mission, every decision recorded.
Citadel gives a small team one picture and one set of rules for every asset it runs. It shortens the time from detection to decision, and it keeps working when the link does not.
Tracks from every sensor and aircraft become one picture. The operator sees the situation, the rules and a recommended response, and makes the call in minutes, not hours.
Aircraft share tracks and tasks between themselves. Lose a link or an aircraft and the group re-plans on its own and finishes the mission inside its rules.
Open interfaces connect the radars, sensors and effectors a force already operates, so allied systems join the same picture instead of a separate screen.
Radars, RF sensors, cameras and the aircraft's own sensors feed Citadel. Every input becomes a track.
Tracks from all sources become one picture. Duplicates are removed and each track is classified.
The operator sees the picture, the rules and a recommended response, and makes the call.
Citadel tasks the aircraft, flies the intercept and records every step.
