AD-01 loitering-munition class platform.
Low-cost attritable fixed-wing autonomy for defence experimentation, training, target effects and approval-dependent kinetic pathways.
Defence-first attritable autonomy
AD-01 Sovereign Attritable Autonomy for Long-Range Defence Effects
AusteraDynamics builds low-cost attritable unmanned systems for defence experimentation, evaluation and approval-dependent kinetic-effects pathways - backed by mission software, simulation, counter-FPV capability and disciplined systems assurance.
AD-01Low-cost attritable fixed-wing platform and OWA UAV class derivative path
AD-02Counter-FPV and counter-small-UAS defensive stack
Effects PathwayRecoverable, inert, training and approval-dependent kinetic configurations
SovereignAustralian-controlled software, integration, test data and low-rate assembly path
Defence product stack
Build the attritable system first, then scale derivatives.
Austera's roadmap starts with AD-01 repeatable flight and pilot readiness, then reuses the same autonomy, mission software, interface and evidence stack across counter-FPV, training, ISR, relay and partner-supplied mission packages.
Layer 01
Defence Outcomes
Deterrence, denial, cost imposition, realistic training, evaluation targets, counter-FPV defence and sovereign stockpile depth.
Layer 02
AD-01 Attritable Platform
Low-cost fixed-wing baseline, modular mission interface, repeatable flight evidence and derivative path for lawful effects.
Layer 03
AD-02 Counter-FPV Stack
Counter-small-UAS sensing, training support, alerting, reporting and integration with defensive defeat workflows.
Layer 04
Mission Software
AD-Control, AD-Sim and AD-Fleet for planning, ground control, telemetry, replay, simulation and support records.
Layer 05
Systems Assurance
Requirements, ICDs, VCRM, trials, configuration control, QA, acceptance records and low-rate readiness.
What Austera does
We build sovereign attritable autonomy.
AD-02 counter-FPV defence.
Counter-small-UAS detection, tracking, alerting, test support and defeat-integration workflows built from the same engineering core.
Software, simulation and assurance.
Mission planning, telemetry, replay, digital thread, VCRM evidence, QA and support tooling that make the products evaluable.
Defence applications
Prioritised around attritable mass and counter-FPV defence.
The public roadmap is intentionally ordered: AD-01 first, AD-02 second, then software, simulation, range support, ISR/relay derivatives and trusted partner integrations.
AD-01 attritable strike mass
Loitering-munition class fixed-wing autonomy for defence evaluation, training, target effects and future lawful kinetic-effects derivatives.

Why Austera
Defence-first products with disciplined assurance.
Austera is built around a tightly sequenced build-and-fly program: prove AD-01, attach software and simulation, then expand into AD-02 and other derivatives without fragmenting the core architecture.
- AD-01 is the primary product and proof point.
- AD-02 turns the same engineering core toward counter-FPV and defensive counter-small-UAS needs.
- Software, simulation and telemetry evidence are treated as product assets, not incidental tooling.
- Sovereign control focuses on autonomy code, integration, test data, QA, support and low-rate readiness.
G0-G1Baseline architecture, ICD, supplier map, bench proof, software-in-loop and subsystem evidence.
G2-G3First controlled flight, repeat sorties, telemetry replay, configuration stability and operator drills.
G4Pilot-ready AD-01 package, mission interface, support kit, training records and customer evaluation pack.
AD-02Counter-FPV derivative package, detection and alerting workflow, training target support and partner integration.
G5Low-rate assembly cell, QA pack, batch records, acceptance tests and repeatable build-time evidence.
AssuranceRequirements, VCRM, hazard controls, release approvals, support records and change control.

Partner ecosystem
Sovereign core. Partner-ready interfaces.
01
Defence and prime pathways
Austera can supply AD-01 evidence packages, mission software, simulation environments or interface-controlled subsystems into larger programs.
02
Counter-FPV partners
AD-02 can support sensor, C2, range, test and defeat-integration partners without resetting the AD-01 common core.
03
Sovereign support model
Australian-controlled code, integration knowledge, test data, QA records and production learning stay close to defence users.
