ORCA OS – Mission-Level Operating System
ORCA OS is SkyVault’s mission-level autonomy platform, designed specifically for submarine-centered operations.
It provides:
Comms-aware autonomy
Missions continue under EW, GPS denial, and comms loss, with data reconciliation on reconnection.
Autonomous rendezvous & docking
UUVs return to and dock with the submarine using acoustic, optical, and magnetic guidance.
Swarm choreography
Dozens of UUVs and UAVs operate as a coordinated swarm for surveillance, mine countermeasures, and infrastructure protection.
Energy & logistics management
Predictive energy models and smart task allocation maximize endurance and schedule recharge windows.
Security & compliance
End-to-end encryption, policy-driven export controls, and fail-safe behaviors under compromise.
