Ceradon Architect Stack – Planning, Design, and Mission Tools for Small UxS and RF Nodes
Architect is the lab-level planning layer that bridges COTS UxS, RF relays, and sustainment kits with mission realities. Build missions, select platforms, shape meshes, and package kits without leaving the stack.
Stack At-a-Glance
- Mission ArchitectMission-first composition and constraints.
- Node ArchitectField nodes, payloads, and power envelopes.
- UxS ArchitectPlatform pairing and loadouts.
- Mesh ArchitectRF coverage, relays, and gateways.
- KitSmithKits, sustainment, and team packaging.
UxS Architect
Pair nodes to unmanned air/ground/surface platforms with power, payload, and range checks.
Mesh Architect
Plan RF meshes, relays, and gateways to backhaul small teams and unmanned assets.
KitSmith
Assemble sustainment kits, spares, and team loadouts tied to mission phases.
Mission Architect
Compose missions, phases, and constraints that drive the rest of the stack.
Integrated planning loop
Pick any entry point. Stay inside the loop.
Mission-first, inventory-first, constraint-first, or RF-environment-first. Architect Stack keeps tools connected so phases, kits, meshes, and platforms stay in sync.
Tool hub
All Architect modules, one launchpad
Open live demos, check roles, and jump to the right planner without retracing steps.
Mission-first entry
Mission Architect – drive the stack from the mission down
Compose phases, AO constraints, timelines, and outputs that downstream tools consume. This hub links directly to the existing Mission Architect app.
How Mission Architect fits
- Outputs → Node Architect: Convert mission phases into node packages per leg.
- Outputs → UxS Architect: Match nodes to UxS platforms with loadouts tied to phases.
- Outputs → Mesh Architect: Use AO, altitudes, and RF constraints to shape relays and backhaul.
- Outputs → KitSmith: Turn teams, timelines, and resupply plans into kits and sustainment loads.
Sample mission flow
Start with recon-in-force across two phases. Build the mission in Mission Architect, export the spec, then:
- Push node requirements to Node Architect for sensor stack and power checks.
- Send approved nodes to UxS Architect for platform pairing and sortie planning.
- Feed AO geometry into Mesh Architect for RF coverage and relay placement.
- Package sustainment in KitSmith aligned to each phase and team role.

What is Ceradon Architect Stack?
Architect is the planning layer between COTS UxS/robotics and the logistics/C2 stack. It keeps mission intent, RF realities, and sustainment in lockstep.
Modules
- Mission Architect: Mission composition, constraints, AO geometry.
- Node Architect: Sensor nodes, payload stacking, power budgets.
- UxS Architect: Platform selection, loadouts, and sortie timing.
- Mesh Architect: RF backhaul, relays, gateways, spectrum assumptions.
- KitSmith: Sustainment kits, spares, and team packaging.
How it fits Ceradon
Architect Stack pairs with Ceradon products such as Vantage, Phantom-Scout, ATAK plugins, Telemetry Forge, and Tactical-App to close the loop between sensing, control, and sustainment.
