Observation & situational awareness
Public positioning for demanding missions, without detailing sensors or methods.
XBirds / Mantis
Mantis, a platform for defence and sovereign environments.
Mantis is a distinct branch of the XBirds programme and is presented only at institutional level on the public website.
Mantis extends XBirds toward environments where industrial sovereignty, ecosystem robustness and dependency control are particularly important.
SOVEREIGN PLATFORM
A dedicated branch, distinct from Sterne.
Mantis may capitalise on shared technology building blocks while retaining its own requirements, validation and disclosure rules for sovereign environments.
Resilience
A design approach oriented toward mission continuity in constrained environments.
Sovereignty
Industrial control, dependency management and protection of sensitive information.
