Technical approach

As reported
Software first

Lattice runs everything

Lattice combines sensor data and lets one person command many robots; the same software flies all its aircraft.

Affordable mass

Cheap parts, fast builds

Fury uses a business-jet engine and off-the-shelf parts so it's cheap enough to buy in large numbers.

Hyperscale factory

Giant factory (Arsenal-1)

A huge Ohio factory built to churn out drones and weapons, run more like a car plant than a defense line.

  • Trusting AI when cut offActive research

    Combat drones must act sensibly when jammed or cut off from people; proving they follow the rules is unsolved.

  • Scaling productionActive research

    Going from prototypes to hundreds of aircraft a year needs suppliers and quality checks built unusually fast.
