What we do

Three workstreams.

01

Technology

Hands-on systems work: networking, endpoints and tooling that operators can actually run. Clear scope, no vaporware.

02

Security

Fast, honest Sniff-Tests for small teams and creators who need a baseline — remote or on-site.

03

Infrastructure

Grounded logistics and field concepts — starting with ARACHNE-S, a search-and-rescue supply mule.

ARACHNE-S · STI-6X · Phase 1 demonstrator

Six legs.
Sealed supplies.
A human on the controls.

A hexapod ground platform that carries sealed cargo pods — water, trauma supplies, comms, blankets — over rubble where wheels and tracks struggle.
