Building the future of European defense. Autonomous. Modular. Resilient.
Karneth Strata builds systems for the battlefield beyond infrastructure.
No GPS. No uplink. No cloud. No compromise. Only mission execution.
Strategic autonomy starts with technological independence.
We Build What Must Exist.
Karneth Strata is a European defense
technology initiative. We design systems
for environments where satellite access,
network coverage, and remote control
are no longer guaranteed, or deliberately
denied.
WHERE SPEED, CLARITY,
AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY
ARE NOT OPTIONAL,
BUT ESSENTIAL.
Our mission is to restore tactical
advantage through sovereign
capability. To create defense infrastructure
that acts when traditional assets are
compromised. Not to mirror legacy
systems, but to rethink what’s possible when
decisions must happen in the absence
of command.
We don’t just build tools.
We engineer operational freedom.
Advancing defense capabilities.
It's who we are.
We are building for a world that won't wait.
We develop systems for decisive action when humans can’t, and for dominance when they can.
▸WE MOVE FASTER THAN THE THREAT
"We are engineers, operators, and defense technologists.
We’ve seen how slow structures lose to fast threats. So we build what can’t wait.
Innovation isn’t a slogan. It’s an operational imperative."
▸INDEPENDENCE IS A DESIGN DECISION
"We don’t just remove dependencies. We design around them.
Independence means no fallback to the cloud, no crutch from satellites.
Every node thinks for itself. Every platform owns its mission.
Because in conflict, assumptions get people killed."
▸WE DESIGN FROM THE EDGE
"Autonomy is only as good as the architecture behind it.
We design systems where perception, logic, and action are embedded. Resilient, modular, and built for failure-tolerant performance under pressure."
▸TECHNOLOGY THAT HOLDS THE LINE
"Our systems act when humans can’t.
Not to replace judgment, but to extend its reach. Across time, distance, and uncertainty.
In real-world frictions, we build for silence, speed, and survivability."
System Architecture
One logic. Many bodies. Always connected.
Even when disconnected.
Architecture is strategy in physical form.
At Karneth Strata, system design follows
operational logic:
DISTRIBUTED CONTROL,
LAYERED RESPONSIBILITY,
AND TACTICAL RESILIENCE.
Each module contributes a specific cognitive
or physical function. Together, they form
an adaptive network. Able to operate jointly
or alone, with or without communication.
Every unit carries intelligence at the edge.
Navigation, decision-making, sensing, and signaling are integrated into each platform.
No central uplink required. What unites them is not hierarchy, but a shared tactical protocol.
This allows real-time, cross-domain collaboration. Even under blackout conditions.
Structured by function. Unified by design.
▸Built on ROS2 for reliable, modular orchestration.
▸Coordinated via NERVE for decentralized sensor fusion and synchronization.
▸Activated by LUPES, the autonomous pursuit engine.
▸Linked through VULTES, our adaptive mesh communication system.
And if links break? Each unit keeps operating.
No signal. No fallback. Still mission-capable.
Karneth Strata Systems Overview
From sky to ground. One ecosystem, many roles.
All systems share the same OS, protocol and coordination logic.
Each is built to adapt in motion, perform under pressure,
and deliver when others stall.
⚙ VECTRE
Modular quadruped unit for transport, power relay, and tactical resupply. Backbone of ground-based logistics under austere field conditions.
ks
⟴ LUPES
Fast, terrain-capable autonomous hunter unit. Designed for reconnaissance and AI-based target pursuit, operating without uplink under blackout conditions.
ks
⬡ VULTES
Resilient mesh communication node ensuring secure data transmission. Maintains network cohesion and mission-critical signaling under jamming and blackout.
⟴ ARGES
Tactical C2 module for real-time situational awareness and AI-driven mission management. Performs sensor fusion and target classification for autonomous action in complex scenarios.
⟴ NERVE
Distributed mesh node for sensor fusion, coordination, and signal redundancy. Ensures swarm integrity under contested and GPS-denied conditions.
◉ STRYX
High-speed jet-powered strike drone for autonomous interdiction. Operates in swarm or solo mode to neutralize dynamic threats with precision.
⬡ NOVA
AI-controlled micro drone swarm for deception, spoofing, and tactical reconnaissance. Deployable in pods and operable without uplink across multiple terrains.
◉ LYNXE
Agile robotic strike unit for autonomous high-value target elimination. Optimized for blackout operations with precise close-range engagement and superior mobility.
No silence.
No drift.
Just action. Carried forward by design.
▸MODULAR BY DESIGN
Reconfigure at will.
Every platform is built from swappable components — sensors, compute, payload.
Adapt fast. Deploy faster.
▸BLACKOUT-RESILIENT
Built for the blind.
When signals fail, Karneth units don’t.
No uplink. No GNSS. No fallback needed.
▸INTEROPERABLE
Allied by protocol.
Open APIs. NATO standards. Seamless integration across domains.
One stack. Many networks.
Technology that Thinks Ahead
Autonomy. Resilience. Silence.
Karneth systems are built with engineering
discipline, not tech theater.
We design every platform to do one thing well:
execute logic at the edge, under adverse
conditions, with minimal dependencies.
Our approach - simplify hardware, isolate
mission logic, and scale by replication. Not reinvention.
Platforms remain identical. Capabilities change
through software.
Configurations are loaded, not welded.
This is how we field systems that are
maintainable, evolvable, and production-ready.
From unit 1 to unit 10,000.
Core Tech Pillars
▸EDGE AUTONOMY STACK
Real-time execution at the point of contact
Logic runs locally. No external control layer
Behavior-driven mission modules atop a minimal ROS2 core
▸TACTICAL COMMUNICATION / NERVE AI CORE
Mesh architecture with multi-level fallback paths
Prioritized, silent-compatible data routing
NERVE interprets intent and adapts platform behavior dynamically
▸GPS FREE NAVIGATION / NAVIGRID POSITIONING
UWB, SLAM, and terrain anchors enable precise positioning
Operates independently of
satellites or fixed infrastructure
Integrates inertial, magnetic, and visual cues for continuous certainty
We don’t fight for bandwidth.
We fight for function under pressure.
Built for friction, not ideal conditions.
Beyond Deployment
Core Technology Principles
▸SIMULATION-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Every mission begins in the virtual. Our platforms are trained and stress tested in synthetic environments before they ever reach the field.
▸MULTI DOMAIN FUSION
Air, ground and sensor inputs merge into a single, coherent decision space. Systems act locally and share only what is necessary, minimizing latency and exposure.
▸BUILT IN INTEGRITY
Each unit protects itself. Every communication is ephemeral. Security is not an add on – it is embedded into the architecture.
Built for operations and places where others go blind.
Designed for Action. Built for Complexity.
Karneth Strata platforms are built for real-world conditions.
Contested, cluttered, disconnected. Whether supporting troops
or disrupting threats, each unit adapts to the mission.
Our systems are made for the conditions where conventional forces falter:
We enable movement, coordination and effect. Without relying on infrastructure.
Urban density
GNSS-denied terrain
Electronic interference
Communication blackouts
▸RECON & ISR
Autonomous systems scout terrain, identify anomalies, and relay multi-sensor intelligence. Silently and persistently.
▸LOGISTICS & SUPPORT
Ground and aerial platforms deliver supplies, sensors or power to forward positions. Even without human oversight or comms.
▸DECEPTION & DISRUPTION
Karneth units act as decoys, jammers or interference nodes. Shaping adversarial perception and disrupting hostile systems.
▸URBAN DENIAL ZONE
A three-block industrial sector has gone dark.
STRYX marks the perimeter, LYNXE infiltrates autonomously, VECTRE follows with supply.
No GPS. No uplink. Still coordinated.
▸BORDER INTERDICTION
Unmanned units detect cross-border movement under full comms silence.
ARGES classifies behavior. NERVE makes a pursuit decision.
No human input. No delay.
▸INFRASTRUCTURE DISRUPTION
A mesh of NOVA units re-establishes navigation and relay nodes after jamming.
Ground units reorient using fallback navigation and maintain objective pressure.
Tactical function is preserved.
Karneth Strata units don’t wait for orders.
They receive intent, then act.
We design for contested environments. Not clean airspace.
