Why Mission Bay

The Advantage of Pre-Integration.

Platform-Agnostic Deployment

Deploy capabilities on any TempestOS-compatible platform.

Payload Swapping at Speed

Swap capabilities as the mission changes, without a new integration project each time.

Zero Vendor Lock-In

Pick the best capability for the mission from across the market, not just a single provider's lineup.

The Problem

Integration Is Where Capability Stalls.

The Department of War does not have an innovation problem. It has an integration problem. Every new sensor, radio, or autonomy model has to be wired to every platform by hand, one custom connection at a time. That work is where programs lose years, and it is why so much capability never reaches the fleet. The hard part is not building the technology. It is getting it to work together.

One machine, fully wired capabilitiesA single machine at the center is wired to each capability around it, and every capability is also wired directly to every other capability, producing a dense tangle of custom connections.MachineSensorCommsAutonomyEWNavigationEffector
Every capability wired to one common layerEach capability connects only to TempestOS as the common layer at the center, so no capability needs to be wired to any other capability.SensorCommsAutonomyEWNavigationEffectorTEMPESTOS

The Solution

Mission Bay: The Pre-Integrated Capability Marketplace.

Mission Bay brings a marketplace model to defense integration. A capability is integrated once to TempestOS, the common operating system for autonomous platforms, and from there it runs on anything running TempestOS. You choose the capabilities the mission needs, swap them as requirements change, and deploy.

How It Works

Three Steps to Mission-Ready.

01

Browse

Explore a growing catalog of pre-integrated, production-ready mission capabilities.

02

Select

Choose the exact capabilities your mission requires, and mix them freely.

03

Deploy

Push selected capabilities to any TempestOS-compatible platform in hours, not months. Zero custom integration required.

THE MANDATE

Speed. Interoperability. Open Architecture.

These are no longer nice-to-haves.

“Speed to delivery is now our organizing principle.”

“We are no longer in an environment where flexible timelines and risk avoidance are acceptable. What once took a decade must now be delivered in months or weeks to stay ahead of the threat.”

“Where requirements overlap, we should converge. Where standards matter, we should align. Where speed matters, we should integrate.”

“Open systems architecture is critical in modern warfare. It allows us to capitalize on the most advanced autonomy solutions to ensure we incorporate the best technology in our weapon systems.”

“Speed, innovation and capability are more important than ever now.”

“The Fighting Instructions are not a strategy document. They are a demand signal. A demand for faster innovation. Faster fielding. Faster integration. And faster adaptation of lethal combat power.”
