Defence solutions

AD-01 attritable autonomy and AD-02 counter-FPV defence.

Austera's solution set is ordered around the business case: loitering-munition class attritable autonomy first, counter-FPV and counter-small-UAS defence second, then software, range support, ISR/relay derivatives and trusted partner pathways.

AD-02 counter-FPV sensor system supporting defensive counter-small-UAS workflows

AD-01, AD-02, training targets, defence experimentation, mission software, simulation evidence and low-rate production readiness.

Priority 01

AD-01 Loitering-Munition Class Capability

Low-cost attritable fixed-wing autonomy for defence evaluation, range work, target effects, sovereign stockpile depth and approval-dependent kinetic-effects derivatives.

  • Prove repeatable flight, operator workflow and evidence records.
  • Support recoverable, inert and training configurations before higher-consequence derivatives.
  • Maintain a common autonomy, software and mission-interface core.

AD-02 Counter-FPV and Counter-UAS

Counter-FPV and counter-small-UAS sensing, alerting, training support, incident reporting and defensive defeat-integration workflows.

  • Detect, track, classify and report small-UAS activity.
  • Support range trials, test customers and defensive integration partners.
  • Build evidence for alert quality, response workflow and operator burden.

Evaluation and training

Range Targets and Red-Team Training

Attritable or recoverable configurations for realistic UAS evaluation, countermeasure testing, red-team activity and defence training.

  • Provide low-cost aerial targets without consuming premium platforms.
  • Attach simulation, telemetry replay and training records.
  • Support recurring orders through range and test activity.

Sovereign UAS experimentation

Defence Evaluation and Pilot Packages

Flight-test, mission-software and support packages for rapid capability teams, ASCA/CASG pathways, primes and defence evaluators.

  • Package system specifications, ICDs, safety controls and VCRM evidence.
  • Move from bench proof to repeat sorties to pilot-ready configuration.
  • Keep Australian control over code, integration and test data.
AD-SeaWatch maritime UAS derivative concept for long-range monitoring
Derivative missions

ISR, Relay and Long-Range Monitoring

Non-kinetic sensing, relay, maritime, border and infrastructure derivatives that reuse AD-01's autonomy core and mission interface.

  • Support endurance, wide-area coverage and remote operating contexts.
  • Attach mission planning, replay and analytics software.
  • Create early revenue while defence approval pathways mature.
Mission-control software and field equipment for partner program support
Partner and prime pathways

Subsystem Supply and Program Support

Mission software, payload interface, simulation, test evidence or low-rate integration packages for primes and sovereign defence pathways.

  • Supply the common stack without requiring prime-contract ownership.
  • Support ASCA Mission Talon Strike, Mission Syracuse and related pathways where appropriate.
  • Provide evidence packages serious evaluators can inspect.
Solution method

Start with AD-01 evidence, then expand only where the common core holds.

Austera keeps the process practical: freeze the baseline, prove subsystems, fly repeatedly, package the evidence, then move into AD-02 or derivative missions when the interface and support model are stable.
