AP-1
Group 1 Reference UAV
Operator Gateway Reference System
IMPORTANT
AP-1 is a reference deployment system that integrates OVERWATCH, VECTOR, SENTINEL, and FIELDGATE-1 into a Group 1 UAV carrier with an operator gateway for evaluation, pilot deployment, and training.
FIELDGATE-1 serves as the operator gateway, providing secure command-and-control, mission planning, telemetry, and data management for deployed systems. AP-1 is optional for OEM customers and is provided for development, evaluation, and validation purposes only. The primary commercial products are OVERWATCH, VECTOR, and SENTINEL, which are designed to integrate into customer-owned platforms via standardized Interface Control Documents (ICDs). OVERWATCH delivers Level 3 operational autonomy validated through prototype testing and field trials.
DESIGNED FOR
Government evaluation programs, defense integrators validating the stack, training facilities, and pilot deployments prior to full OEM integration.
MISSION CAPABILITIES
What AP-1 Does in the Field
L3 operational autonomy ISR, surveillance, and reconnaissance across defense, homeland security, and federal law enforcement missions. GPS-denied capable. L4 mission autonomy entering pilot phase.
CBP / DHS / USBP
Border & Perimeter Surveillance
Autonomous persistent surveillance of border regions, critical infrastructure perimeters, and restricted zones. Detects, tracks, and classifies personnel and vehicles attempting unauthorized crossing. Operates 24/7 without pilot fatigue.
DoD / INSTALLATION SECURITY
Base & Force Protection
Continuous autonomous overwatch of military installations, forward operating bases, and deployed forces. Detects approaching threats, monitors access points, and provides early warning for force protection commanders.
FBI / USMS / DEA / STATE LE
Suspect Tracking & Manhunt
Autonomous search patterns for locating fugitives, escaped prisoners, or persons of interest. Thermal and visual detection in rural, urban, and wilderness environments. Maintains continuous track without losing subjects.
DoD / SECRET SERVICE / FAA
Counter-UAS Detection
Autonomous detection and tracking of hostile or unauthorized drones. Provides early warning for VIP protection details, critical events, and restricted airspace. Identifies, classifies, and maintains custody of threat UAS.
ADDITIONAL AGENCY APPLICATIONS
