Precision Disruption
at Global Scale

Updating the "Bomber Mafia" doctrine for 21st-century strategic bombing and deterrence.

The doctrine:

One-way attack drones are taking over strategic bombing. Cheaper than cruise missiles, easier to produce, less manpower at risk. Their piston engines are far more available than the jet engines on conventional delivery systems.

But the same factors that make them cheap also limit their capabilities. Maximum take-off weight is severely constrained. None of these systems is delivering a JDAM anywhere.

That is why we are building Mosquito - to provide one-way attack drones with multi-target capabilities. Today, one sortie means one target. With Mosquito, every sortie becomes a precision strike multiplier carrying up to 20 autonomous submunitions along a corridor.

We are not building a drone. We are creating a new capability.

Turning one-way attack drones into bombers

Large warheads destroy specific, hard-to-replace parts of critical systems - that is the carrier's job. Mosquito's submunitions serve a different purpose: targeting dispersed, unarmoured infrastructure where volume of strikes matters more than warhead size.

10–20 Mosquito munitions ride along at a negligible fraction of the carrier's MTOW. Your cost per strike drops and strike capacity goes up 10× to 20× — turning supporting systems into the bottleneck.

Concentrated high-value targets are tempting, but easier to defend. What if you had to defend 7,000+ km of targets instead?

The Russian railway network is the backbone of its military logistics. At €3,000 per munition, the entire signalling system on Russia's European railways could be disrupted for approximately €50 million — reducing capacity by 70%+, degrading resupply, and cutting export revenue.

The end effect: every deep-strike drone gets its own miniature "Operation Spiderweb".

Operational impact

Corridor denial at a fraction of conventional cost. Continuing strikes extend disruption indefinitely — outpacing the ability to repair.

Narrow scope. Many targets.

Front-line autonomy is an unsolved problem. We start where autonomy already works.

  • Ideal for autonomy

    Signalling boxes are static, visually distinct, and standardized across thousands of kilometres of Soviet-era rail infrastructure.

  • Minimal hardware

    A distinct target shape enables a lightweight detection model with low compute — keeping unit cost at €3,000.

  • Strategic dependency

    Russian logistics depend on rail. No signalling = no safe movement. Sustained denial at ~€30K per sortie.

  • Expandable target set

    Same platform, different models. Comms infrastructure, substations, and other target classes follow.

Quadcopter drone — Mosquito platform form factor

Technology — The Mosquito System

Our quadcopter design provides the precision and loiter time needed for a minimised warhead. Three-phase autonomous guidance — zero RF, no operator in the loop.

Dual verification — visual detection and map-matched position must both confirm before engagement. Zero RF throughout.

Fully autonomous. Three CV models handle navigation, localization, and targeting on-board in real time. EW-immune by design. Static infrastructure targets eliminate the edge cases that hinder battlefield AI.

Long-range autonomy

GNSS-denied navigation enables deep-strike up to 3,000 km from the carrier's release point. Each Mosquito carries a 100g warhead optimised for infrastructure — enough to disable a signalling cabinet, small enough to keep weight at 0.5 kg and cost at €3,000.

Warhead minimisation eliminates collateral risk by design — both through the AI architecture and the physical limitation of the munition itself.

Ukraine

Our roadmap prioritises deployment in Ukraine — providing a scalable, long-range disruption capability to defend sovereign territory while building strategic deterrence.
