You build autonomy we make it deployable

Managed software
infrastructure for
unmanned systems.

We help robotics and autonomy teams ship AI software to edge devices. Protect your IP, your product, and your capabilities without hiring a platform team.

Deploy on any hardware (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi CM5).
Designed for critical environments.
Available to select early partners.

Software infrastructure is holding back the defense sector.

PROBLEM_01
Root of trust

Each system is a valuable target for bad actors, requiring secure boot, signed images, and verifiable device identity on every unit.

PROBLEM_02
Secure networking

Each unit must communicate with nearby units and operators, requiring encrypted links that survive jamming or loss of internet.

PROBLEM_03
Deployments at scale

Patches, firmware, and model weights must reach hundreds or thousands of units at once to maintain capability.

Solving the path to scale.

01 / Run

GWOS runs your application on a controlled Linux image and verifies updates before installing them.

GWOSHardened Linux
BootKernelRootfsSigned

A Linux foundation with signed updates, separate operating system slots, and health checks before committing a new image.

More on GWOS
02 / Swarm

Devices and operators communicate over a private network using available links, even without internet access.

PoolnetPrivate mesh
BackhaulMesh

An encrypted mesh that forms itself, heals after a partition, and keeps routing with the backhaul down.

More on Poolnet
03 / Deploy

Applications, operating system images, and models go to a small group first, with operator approval before each additional wave.

PoolboyControl plane
CanaryWaveFleet

Fleet software management with staged releases, device health reports, and control over which devices receive an update.
