Tactical SEAD UAV in cinematic chiaroscuro
P/01Platform · Tactical SEAD UAV · GRIN Ø120

A ghost the size of a jet.
Printed for thirty dollars.

Passive gradient-index payload. Zero power, zero heat, radar-perfect return. The airframe carries it. The doctrine multiplies it.

We build passive, printable decoys that force multi-crore SAMs to fire at nothing — so real pilots come home.

00202b // Mechanism

Two systems. Watch them come apart.

The 120 mm gradient-index payload and the tactical airframe that carries it — traced to the sub-assembly, then reassembled in real time. Every part sourced from the PSS filing.

Three surfaces. One doctrine.

Every card is a live capability — from the printable payload to the field-tested economics.

GRIN sphere

Payload · GRIN Lens

A 120 mm sphere, printed overnight, indistinguishable from a Rafale on radar.

Sub-wavelength Gyroid + BCC lattices realize a continuous permittivity profile. No sensors, no code — purely geometric.

Economics · Cost Asymmetry

$30 in. $3,000,000 out. Every intercept is a permanent budget deletion.

Manufactured in a single day on commodity SLA nodes. Raw polymer plus a conductive coating. No foreign IP, no export dependence.

Doctrine · Distributed SEAD

Ship the file. Not the fleet. A decoy per drone, a printer per airbase.

Sovereign supply chain, field-tested doctrine. Twelve months to a ready-to-integrate, export-cleared SEAD decoy in the IAF's hand.

004The Gap

Active jammers are hot, expensive, and detectable.

Modern IADS like the HQ-9/P classify tactical drones as low-priority and lock onto our manned fighters. Legacy countermeasures don't scale to distributed SEAD doctrine.

005Economics

Spend $30. Force the enemy to spend $3,000,000.

Every SAM interceptor fired at a D³ decoy is a permanent budget deletion for the adversary and a saturation lever for our strike package.

Unit Cost

Manufactured in a single day on commodity SLA nodes. Raw polymer plus conductive coating. No foreign IP.

SAMPer Intercept
$3M+

Per attempted kill

Cost of a single SAM interceptor fired at our decoy. 100,000× economic asymmetry — saturates any air defense budget.

006System

A 120mm sphere.
No sensors. No code.
Purely geometric.

A 3D-printed gradient-index (GRIN) lens on a tactical UAV nose. Sub-wavelength Gyroid + BCC lattices realize a continuous permittivity profile ε_r(r) = 2.0 − (r/R)² — bending every incoming ray to a focal point, then reflecting it coherently.
