nemyx vertical Launch System

One launch system. Drones from any vendor.

Nemyx VLS extends Auterion’s swarm engine into the hardware that puts drones in the air. The same modular launcher deploys high-volume commercial drones, strike drones and interceptors from multiple manufacturers, giving operators a common point of launch across an evolving fleet.

PLATFORM FOR AUTONOMOUS MASS

From target handoff to swarm launch

Any Auterion-powered vehicle can hand a target to Nemyx VLS and trigger a single vehicle or a swarm launch. Once a human designates the target, Nemyx automates the execution that follows, connecting target handoff, operator authority, launch and swarm behavior through the same Auterion system.

Nemyx already spans vehicles and manufacturers through a common swarm architecture. Nemyx VLS carries that architecture into the launch layer, allowing new aircraft to enter the network while operators retain a consistent way to command and employ them.

Nemyx VLS sequence in four steps
  1. 01

    Target handoff

    Any Auterion-powered vehicle hands a target to Nemyx VLS.

  2. 02

    Operator authority

    A human designates every target.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Nemyx VLS triggers a single launch or a swarm launch.

  4. 04

    Swarm behavior

    Nemyx automates the execution that follows.

MULTI-VENDOR, multi-mission

A common launcher across an evolving fleet

Nemyx VLS gives operators a common launch system across an evolving fleet, allowing them to add or change drone suppliers without replacing the launcher.

That model is already supported by aircraft from Auterion partners including Skyfall, Airlogix, Rheinmetall, DeltaQuad and Griffon Aerospace, as well as integrations with leading armored-vehicle manufacturers in the United States and Germany.

From one-way attack to intercept

Nemyx VLS supports short- and mid-range offensive and defensive missions. Dedicated tubes support 10-inch FPVs and interceptors, while a separate container accommodates mid-range loitering munitions.

Operators can select the aircraft required for each mission while retaining a common launch system across high-volume commercial drones, strike drones and defensive interceptors.

HIGH-DENSITY LAUNCH

Vertical stacking fits 30% more aircraft in the same volume

Aircraft are stacked vertically inside each Nemyx VLS tube, where an electric elevator carries the next drone to the launch position. Compared with launchers that do not use an elevator, this architecture fits 30% more drones into the same volume, giving operators more ready aircraft within the available space.

Tubes can be grouped into 2×2 or 4×4 arrays, or scaled to fill a full ISO container.

forward readiness

Swarming starts before takeoff

Nemyx VLS keeps stored drones connected to the launcher, where they remain charged, current with software updates and held in powered standby. Crews can launch as soon as tasking arrives without opening each tube or preparing every aircraft by hand.

The environmentally sealed system runs for multiple hours on its integrated battery. When connected to external power, it can remain forward deployed for months or years.
