(01) — Missions · commercial concept
Sell the mission,
not the machine.
The first eighteen months exist to prove one horizontal autonomy stack and one or two vertical advantages — not to build eighteen robots. Everything on this page is a proposed program, not a fielded product.
(02) — The three wedges
Where the stack earns.
Three wedges, chosen because each one exercises the same shared intelligence layer instead of demanding a new company per robot.
- 01
Autonomous site operations
- Customers
- Defense installations, depots, airports, energy campuses, remote infrastructure
- Intended outcome
- Reduce routine human exposure and labour for inspection, mapping, alarm verification and logistics — while producing a persistent digital operating picture.
- Revenue model
- Hardware lease/sale + INSTINCT/ORACLE software licence + integration/support
- 02
Maritime infrastructure intelligence
- Customers
- Navies, ports, offshore energy, subsea cable and pipeline operators
- Intended outcome
- Persistent inspection and mapping above and below water with fewer crewed missions.
- Revenue model
- Robot-as-a-service / mission contract + analytics subscription + platform integration
- 03
Extreme-access inspection & response
- Customers
- Utilities, emergency agencies, industrial operators, infrastructure owners
- Intended outcome
- Reach collapsed, confined, elevated, contaminated or otherwise difficult environments before sending people.
- Revenue model
- Platform sale/lease + per-site software licence + service/maintenance contract
(03) — Kingdoms × missions
One kingdom serves many missions.
No wedge needs its own robot family. The same kingdoms recur across missions — that is the point of a shared architecture.

* INSTINCT — the intelligence kingdom — underwrites every wedge. Perception, learning, decision-making and machine communication are supplied to each of the other five, so nothing above is a single-mission brain.
(04) — The first eighteen months
One stack. One or two sharp edges.
Internal planning windows — sequencing, not forecast. Targets describe what the stack must prove before hardware ambition grows.

(05) — Context
Defense procurement is moving toward cross-platform autonomy — orchestration that is vehicle-agnostic rather than welded to one airframe. NATO and the US Defense Innovation Unit have both signalled interest in interoperable uncrewed systems. MALIA’s shared stack is designed for exactly that direction: one intelligence layer, many bodies.
All programs shown are concepts and internal plans. Nothing on this page is deployed, sold, or validated in the field.
