Five labelled system roles arranged by air, surface, subsea, edge and operating-layer functions.

Human-commanded multi-domain architecture

Five systems. One coherent architecture.

This page is the canonical public index for the five-system taxonomy. It replaces legacy catalogues and routes detailed questions into controlled briefing.

Public architecture

What this page establishes

Public material describes roles, interfaces and governance boundaries without unsupported operational claims.

01

PHOBOS · Air

Mission-configurable autonomous VTOL air-system role for approved sensing, route context and operator-directed tasking within the wider architecture.

02

Sea Ghost · Surface

Persistent autonomous surface-system role for maritime presence, approved sensor carriage and coordinated observation.

03

Sea Shadow · Subsea

Autonomous subsea inspection-and-observation role for underwater context and reviewable evidence collection.

04

Shadow Node · Edge

Local compute, communications and sensor-fusion role for approved interfaces and bounded information flow.

05

ShadowCore · Software

The common operating and intelligence system connecting approved inputs, recommendations, human decisions and evidence records.

Ecosystem architecture

Five systems / human command / evidence
Sky Shadow five-system ecosystem architecture PHOBOS, Sea Ghost, Sea Shadow and Shadow Node connect to ShadowCore. ShadowCore connects to a human command layer and an evidence layer. Air, surface and subsea bands show each operating domain.

PHOBOS, Sea Ghost, Sea Shadow and Shadow Node connect through ShadowCore. Accountable human command remains the authorisation layer, while the evidence layer preserves the decision record.
