The Operating System for Autonomous Drone Swarms.

VectraSwarmOS is the first EU-native, decentralized open-source OS for secure autonomous drone swarms — Linux-based (VOXL 2 / Qualcomm QRB5165), Blue UAS Framework compliant, open-core architecture with military-grade security by design.

What We Build

Four pillars of the swarm-native OS

Security by Design
MAVSEC HMAC-SHA256 message authentication, WireGuard mesh encryption, Qualcomm SPU / EdgeLock SE051 hardware security — with 0.8ms latency overhead. No retrofitting needed.
STM32F7 · WireGuard · Qualcomm SPU
BVLOS-Ready Autonomy
GPS-resilient, beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations with decentralized Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus. Swarms operate independently — no single point of failure.
BFT Consensus · WiFi Aware · NAN
Open Core Model
Apache 2.0 kernel builds trust with the developer community while proprietary enterprise layers deliver mission-critical compliance, fleet management, and AI inference tools.
Apache 2.0 · Enterprise SaaS · SDK
EU Regulatory Moat
Built for EU AI Act, EASA SORA, and EU 2019/945 from day one. Compliance is not a checkbox — it's a durable competitive advantage that locks out non-EU players.

The Problem
01
No EU-Native Swarm OS
Existing platforms — DJI, Skydio, Auterion — are either US-controlled or lack the decentralized security architecture required for critical European infrastructure.
02
Regulation as a Barrier
EASA SORA, EU AI Act, and KRITIS frameworks make non-compliant systems unusable in European airspace. Yet compliance is rarely built in — it's bolted on, failing at the seams.
03
Security Retrofitted, Not Native
GPS spoofing, MAVLink hijacking, and replay attacks render current drone fleets vulnerable. Swarm-native cryptographic communication is not an option — it's a requirement.
Technology

Full-stack, swarm-native architecture

Every layer of VectraSwarmOS is purpose-built for autonomous swarm operations — from the flight controller to the enterprise API.

Security Core In Progress
Rust-based cryptography layer with HMAC-SHA256 authentication, replay protection, Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus, JWT auth, and Key Management System with automated key rotation.

Communication Layer In Progress
MAVLink v2 with MAVSEC extensions over WireGuard-encrypted WiFi Aware (NAN) peer-to-peer mesh. Fully decentralized — no infrastructure required.

Hardware

PX4-native, ArduPilot-compatible
Native integration with PX4-based platforms. ArduPilot adapter via HAL abstraction requires approximately 200 lines of C++ — no full fork needed.
Hardware-validated performance
Proof-of-concept results: STM32F7 MAVSEC at 0.8ms latency, WireGuard RTT at 1.4ms. Security overhead is negligible — not a constraint.
No central infrastructure required
Fully decentralized P2P mesh using WiFi Aware (NAN). Swarms self-organize and maintain mission integrity without cloud dependency or ground control stations.
Energy-optimized for field deployment
System stack baseline overhead of 1.65–4.1W. Minimum 400–500 Wh battery recommendation for full-stack operation including edge AI inference.
