AD-01
Low-cost attritable fixed-wing autonomy for defence evaluation, training, OWA UAV class pathways, target effects and approval-dependent kinetic-effects derivatives.
Product portfolio
AD-01 first, AD-02 second, software and simulation behind both.
Austera's product roadmap is ordered around sovereign attritable autonomy: AD-01 is the flagship fixed-wing platform, AD-02 is the counter-FPV defence stack, and the common software layer supports evaluation, training, assurance and low-rate readiness.
Generated product visuals show the current concept stack: baseline platform, counter-FPV system, mission software, simulation, fleet support and future derivatives.
AD-02
Counter-FPV and counter-small-UAS detection, tracking, alerting, reporting, training support and defensive defeat-system integration.
AD-Control
Mission planning, ground control, command workflows, telemetry, replay, operator checklists and reporting support for AD-01 and AD-02.
AD-Sim
Simulation, HIL, operator training, scenario rehearsal, mission replay and evidence capture tied to configuration and test records.
AD-Fleet
Fleet support package concept for assets, missions, maintenance, configuration, compliance records, support analytics and software updates.
AD-Scout
Small UAS concept for rapid ISR, inspection and short-duration support missions where rapid setup is more important than endurance.
AD-Lift VT
Hybrid VTOL concept for remote logistics, mapping, field support and disaster operations where payload flexibility matters.
AD-Tether
Tethered overwatch concept for incident command, defence evaluation sites, events and infrastructure security with persistent local coverage.
AD-SeaWatch
Salt-hardened maritime UAS variant concept for coast, ports, fisheries, offshore operators and maritime security users.
Version 1 discipline
AD-01 carries the first proof load.
Austera avoids fragmenting the roadmap. AD-01 establishes repeatable flight, the common autonomy core, the modular interface, the support package and the evidence base before derivatives scale.
01
Defined status
Baseline platform, recoverable/inert evaluation configuration, approval-dependent effects derivative or future concept is made explicit.
02
Interface discipline
Power, data, mission interface, software and ground-control boundaries are controlled to prevent one-off engineering sprawl.
03
Support package
Operator checklists, training, spares, acceptance tests, configuration records, telemetry replay and simulation-linked evidence.
Product conversation
Start with AD-01, then map AD-02 and software around the program need.
