Technology
Architecture for operational software.
Cortex is structured as a layered mission platform. The application layer is where Tecnitronic’s durable product value sits — workflows, context, evidence and operator authority — above interchangeable AI services and beneath a clear operator experience.
System stack
Five layers describe how Cortex is organised. Together they form a coherent stack rather than a collection of disconnected tools.
01
Operator Experience
Interfaces for orientation, analysis and decision support — clear under operational load.
02
Cortex Application Layer
Durable product core
Mission workflows, operational objects, permissions, evidence and human confirmation. The durable product core.
03
AI Services
Specialized capabilities for vision, language, signal analysis, prediction and planning — orchestrated, not monolithic.
04
Data & Integration
Adapters and interfaces for sensors, systems, data sources and partner modules.
05
Infrastructure
Deployment foundations intended for edge, on-premise, cloud and constrained environments.
Interoperability
Open architecture as strategy
Cortex is designed for interoperability with existing sensors, defence systems, third-party AI models, partner software and future systems through APIs and adapters. Compatibility with any specific third-party system is established case by case and is not claimed here.
01
APIs
Interfaces for integrating Cortex into broader operational software estates.
02
Sensor adapters
Pathways for connecting heterogeneous sensor and data feeds into mission workflows.
03
Model adapters
Architecture for specialised AI capabilities without dependency on a single model provider.
04
Partner modules
Room for partner software to extend capability within a governed application layer.
Resilience
Deployment models
Cortex is being developed with multiple deployment contexts in mind. These are architectural design goals for resilience and operational fit.
Deployment contexts
Architectural design goals
- 01
Edge
Closer to the point of collection and action when latency or connectivity requires it.
- 02
On-premise
Within organisational infrastructure where control and policy demand it.
- 03
Cloud
Where elastic capacity and centralised operations are appropriate.
- 04
Disconnected / degraded
Designed with constrained and intermittent connectivity as a first-class concern.
