Mission · Strike
Any host becomes
a strike node
A dense magazine of loitering effectors, salvo-launched from a host already in service — across ground, surface and subsea, under jamming and without GNSS.
Easy to integrate
One node, any host, any effector
Any loitering effector
Integrate the operator's own munition — the box is the launch node, not another vertically-integrated weapon.
Any host
UGV, truck, 4×4, uncrewed surface vessel or submersible — a configuration, not a new development programme.
Stand-off, no crew
A host plus the box is stand-off strike without putting a crew at risk — a pattern already in the field.
Agnostic by design, tailored in practice: the smart core is a product, but every node is configured and qualified to your force — your host platforms, your chosen effectors, your interfaces. You field a launch node adapted to how you operate, not a clean-sheet development programme.
What the box does
The launcher, packaged around the smart core
- Multi-cell magazine — folding drones packed dense, loaded like rounds.
- Salvo launch — fired in ripple like a rocket-artillery system.
- GNSS-independent launch under active jamming and spoofing.
- Autonomous safe-launch sequencing under electronic warfare.
- Fibre- or radio-linked launch — the box holds the effector's link from the launch point, not a separate relay.
- Cross-domain effector handoff between nodes.
- Open to any open-architecture effector.
This is the reconnaissance-strike layer buyers describe in their own dialects — one-way effector, munition téléopérée, deep- and middle-strike — carried on a distributed net of launcher nodes rather than a handful of exquisite platforms. The box is the canisterised layer that puts a dense magazine of loitering effectors on a host already in service, dispersed and salvo-capable. Effectors are attritable and refreshed on short cycles, so the node is fielded in numbers and re-bought as the net is consumed — recurring capital, not a one-time buy.
One core · Every host
From man-pack to subsea
Cross-domain
Subsea is the seam few can reach
A pressure-tolerant node rides out weather submerged, then surfaces to launch — the highest-value variant and the hardest to build, where sealing, corrosion and fault-tolerance decide reliability. The same smart core carries across man-pack, ground, surface and subsea without a redesign, which is what makes cross-domain handoff between those nodes a single layered network rather than four separate programmes. Ruggedness at volume is the second wall of the moat, and where the Madeira manufacturing base is strongest.
Proven in the field
Host-launched effectors are already deciding engagements
Events from today's wars, not projections — the strategic results a host-launched effector layer is already delivering, and the scale navies are now buying into. Umbra is the launch node that puts that proven pattern on any host.
Ukraine's uncrewed boats launched FPVs that destroyed two Pantsir-S1 and an Osa; ≥4 warships sunk, the fleet "functionally inactive."
Launched drones now fly more than eleven thousand combat sorties daily — the tempo a launch layer must sustain.
Uncrewed launch mass bought at scale — up to 1,600 planned. The host-launched effector is going global.
