Fleet Networking
for Autonomous Systems

Securely connect robots, vehicles, and edge devices across WANs without modifying applications.

ROS 2 WAN discovery
Peer-to-peer encrypted networking
Hardware-backed identity
Fleet OTA updates
Traffic prioritization for control and telemetry
Fleet policy management

System Architecture

Zero-trust security and networking enforced natively at the kernel level.

Citadel → Security

LSM process verification and cgroup firewalling. Hardens DDS discovery and control loops natively in kernel space.

Conduit → Networking

Zero-copy eBPF XDP and TC fastpath. Routes and prioritizes time-sensitive control frames directly at the driver level.

Dispatch → Fleet Control

P2P candidate matchmaking, secure signaling across restrictive NATs, and centralized mesh topology synchronization.

Forge → Identity & OTA

Cryptographic identities bound to TPM 2.0/HSM hardware chips. Validates and enforces signed chunk updates for fleet OTA.
