Crebain provides a distributed autonomy operating layer that enables autonomous vehicle fleets to coordinate peer‑to‑peer without relying on a central controller. By integrating through existing OEM APIs and open standards, the platform dynamically allocates tasks, shares mission state, and maintains shared situational awareness even under limited bandwidth or degraded communications, while allowing operators to supervise and retain authority via their preferred command interfaces.

Problem
Autonomous vehicle fleets often operate as isolated units, relying on centralized command structures that can fail under limited bandwidth, partial information, or degraded communications. This limits coordinated mission execution, situational awareness, and resilience in complex, multi-platform operations.
Solution
Crebain provides a distributed autonomy operating layer that sits between flight control and command‑and‑control systems, enabling peer‑to‑peer collaboration among autonomous assets. The platform integrates via existing OEM APIs, open standards, or platform software, allowing operators to define mission intent and constraints while the layer dynamically allocates tasks and synchronizes state across the fleet. By maintaining shared situational awareness and coordinated behavior without a single point of failure, Crebain ensures resilient operation even when links are degraded or central orchestration is unavailable. Operators supervise the fleet through their preferred command surface or Crebain’s optional interface, retaining explicit authority over autonomous actions. The technology is packaged into three postures—awareness, protection, and response—each built on the same distributed coordination core.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense and aerospace organizations that field mixed autonomous aircraft fleets and require resilient, coordinated mission execution, as well as commercial operators of large UAV swarms needing enterprise‑grade fleet orchestration.
Features
- Peer‑to‑peer coordination layer that operates without a central controller, preserving fleet functionality under bandwidth‑constrained or degraded conditions
- Integration via existing OEM APIs, open standards, or platform software, requiring no redesign of legacy systems
- Dynamic task allocation and shared mission state exchange, enabling real‑time collaborative decision‑making across heterogeneous rotary‑wing, VTOL, and fixed‑wing platforms
- Operator‑visible supervision through existing C2 interfaces or Crebain’s dedicated UI, with explicit human release controls
- Three product postures (Mesh Awareness, Protection, Response) that provide persistent shared awareness, coordinated defensive actions, and unified response execution
- Scalable mesh doctrine that weights peer relevance, allowing each node to reason locally while contributing to a bounded, coordinated fleet action
