Vehicle Domains
Air, ground, surface, subsurface, and mission-specific autonomous machines
Arc-UxV / vehicle-independent autonomy
Any vehicle.
One autonomous core.
Arc-UxV carries the same mission intelligence across air, ground, surface, subsurface, and purpose-built platforms. Integrate the vehicle once, then reuse intent, perception, planning, PACE communications, and collaborative behaviors across the fleet.

Intent, perception, planning, coordination, and recovery shared across platforms

Connected, degraded, disconnected, or low-signature according to mission policy

Autonomy should not
stop at the airframe.
Arc-UxV decouples mission reasoning from vehicle mechanics. The common core stays recognizable; a validated adapter supplies the controls, limits, and health state unique to each machine.
AIR

Multirotor, fixed-wing, VTOL, and other unmanned aircraft through validated flight-controller adapters.
GND
Ground
Wheeled, tracked, legged, and logistics platforms with platform-specific steering, mobility, and safety interfaces.
SEA
Surface
Uncrewed surface vessels for patrol, survey, inspection, relay, and distributed sensing missions.
SUB
Subsurface
Underwater and subsurface platforms using local navigation, payload control, and store-and-forward mission behavior.
MSN
Mission-Specific
Robotic systems, remote payloads, and purpose-built autonomous machines integrated around the same mission services.
Vehicle-agnostic autonomy / one core
Any vehicle.
The same mission logic.
Arc-UxV is the vehicle-independent autonomy layer. Platform adapters connect the same intent, perception, planning, coordination, and recovery services to aircraft, ground vehicles, surface craft, subsurface systems, and mission-specific machines.

Operational result
A common autonomy layer / platform-specific controls
Configuration note / Supported behaviors and navigation methods depend on the vehicle, payload, environment, safety case, and program authority.
Shared capabilities
Different mechanics.
The same mission intelligence.
Intent-Based Mission Core
The operator defines objectives, constraints, priorities, and recovery conditions. Arc turns that brief into platform-appropriate mission actions without requiring waypoint-by-waypoint micromanagement.
Vehicle + Payload Adapters
A controlled adapter boundary connects the common autonomy services to the selected flight computer, motor controller, steering system, vessel controller, manipulator, or mission payload.
Local Planning + Re-Planning
Routes, search patterns, contingencies, and recovery behavior execute near the vehicle. The plan can adapt to new observations, platform health, terrain, weather, and mission rules within its authorized envelope.
Mission-Tuned Perception
Onboard vision and sensor pipelines turn raw payload data into detections, tracks, and mission events. Only the evidence and conclusions that matter need to cross a constrained link.
Collaborative + Swarm Behaviors
Configured vehicles can share mission state, allocate bounded tasks, corroborate detections, and hand off roles across the swarm while each platform retains its own safety-controlled vehicle boundary.
Full Communications PACE
Operate through program-selected radios, mesh, LTE/5G, or SATCOM—or continue a pre-authorized mission when a bearer is degraded or unavailable. Availability and failover depend on the installed system.
Mission execution / bearer aware
The mission survives
a broken link.
Arc-UxV keeps intent, perception, route logic, health monitoring, and recovery behavior with the vehicle. Available PACE links extend collaboration and operator awareness; they do not have to own every moment of execution.

- 01 / 05
Brief
Define the objective, operating area, constraints, collaboration policy, and abort or recovery criteria.
- 02 / 05
Compile
Translate intent through the platform adapter into a vehicle-valid route, search pattern, payload plan, and contingencies.
- 03 / 05
Execute
Run perception, navigation, mission logic, and health monitoring locally while reporting over the available PACE path.
- 04 / 05
Collaborate
Share approved tracks and task state, rebalance bounded roles, and preserve each vehicle's independent safety boundary.
- 05 / 05
Recover
Complete, hold, return, rendezvous, dock, or enter a program-defined safe state with an inspectable mission record.
Collaborative autonomy / platform configured
Bring us the vehicle. Keep the mission.
Arc-Edge configures Arc-UxV around the vehicle controls, payload, PACE plan, mission authority, and collaborative behaviors required by the program.
Data rights / governance
Sovereign by design.
Open by choice.
Arc builds on open-source foundations, including LlamaFarm and Atmosphere. Programs can deploy core workflows inside customer-controlled infrastructure, define data boundaries, and negotiate model, sensor-data, and mission-log rights in the acquisition terms. Open interfaces preserve an exit path without promising that every mission dependency is open source.
