Open architecture
Open where it counts, proprietary where it matters
The Umbra is built open — open-source Linux, published interfaces, and effector-agnostic by design — with a single proprietary layer: the smart core. Open enough to plug into the network you already run; closed only where the hard IP lives.
Open-source Linux base
The node runs on open-source Linux, not a closed proprietary operating stack — auditable, familiar to integrators, and free of a black-box OS.
Open interface to a proprietary core
The smart core — GNSS-independent launch, autonomous safe-launch under EW — is the proprietary IP, exposed through an open, published interface so integrators build to it without lock-in.
MOSA-aligned
Designed to the Modular Open Systems Approach — open, published interfaces so third-party subsystems interoperate — the openness new programmes now require rather than prefer.
Cue-in from any sensor or C2
Takes tracks from the operator's radar, EO/IR, RF or acoustic sensors, or straight from air-defence command-and-control.
Any-sensor, best-effector
Nets in as one engage node in a layered defence — cued from above, handing off after launch — never a closed shooter that forces a rip-and-replace of the C2 the operator already runs.
Effector-agnostic
Open to the operator's own munition or interceptor; the effector stays a sourced commodity, never a vendor lock-in.
Cross-domain handoff
Link the effector, hand it off, and net air, surface and subsea nodes into one layered picture rather than four separate stacks.
