AI at the Tactical Edge for Data-Centric Decision Advantage

Secure, doctrinally grounded AI for mission-critical operations that runs at the tactical edge, even in DDIL conditions.

Overview

Nexagen's OrionHub and SoldierIQ deliver a data-centric, edge-resident capability that enables real-time data ingestion, AI-driven decision support, and integration with TAK and mission systems. Demonstrated at SOCOM TE 26-2 as a TRL 6–7 capability, the system executed a complete sensor-to-decision-to-action workflow on a tactical platform, operating effectively in DDIL.

What we demonstrated at SOCOM TE 26-2

Demonstrated end-to-end on a tactical platform.

01 / 6

Multi-domain data ingestion at the edge

Ingested ISR, CoT, J-Series, and K-Series data streams and normalized them into a unified, machine-readable format at the point of collection, enabling immediate AI exploitation.

02 / 6

Edge-resident AI decision support in DDIL

Executed SoldierIQ locally on tactical compute, delivering real-time data fusion, doctrinally grounded reasoning, and Course of Action generation (entirely at the edge).

03 / 6

Sensor-to-decision integration with TAK

Delivered AI-generated outputs directly into TAK and integrated mission systems, enabling real-time situational awareness and accelerated targeting workflows.

04 / 6

Hybrid communications in contested environments

Operated seamlessly across MADL, SATCOM (Starlink), and RF-based transport, sustaining mission-critical functionality in disconnected, degraded, bandwidth-constrained conditions.

05 / 6

Edge-to-cloud synchronization

Leveraged OrionHub to synchronize updates, validate changes, and redeploy capabilities across distributed environments without interrupting operations.

06 / 6

Real-time application deployment at the edge

Modified and deployed applications directly to tactical edge systems and dynamically adapted data flows during execution (no system downtime, no centralized dev cycle).

Where it fits first

Three operational entry points.

Use case · 01

AI-enabled mission command

Generates doctrine-aligned COAs integrating fires, maneuver, ISR, and sustainment. Real-time planning, adaptation, and synchronized execution at the tactical edge.

Use case · 02

Intelligent user enablement

AI-driven assistance at the point of need, rapid access to data, workflows, and guidance. Supports self-service and seamless escalation, reducing cognitive load.

Use case · 03

Edge platform deployment & data pipeline integration

Rapid deployment and modification of applications at the tactical edge. Integrates with a Synapse-aligned data fabric for ingestion, normalization, and continuous adaptation.

Differentiators

Why it stands up at the edge.

  • Operate anywhere (DDIL or connected) without disrupting workflows
  • Unify and normalize multi-domain data via Synapse-aligned data fabric
  • AI-driven decision advantage with COA generation and risk analysis
  • Seamless orchestration of pipelines, models, and applications via OrionHub
  • Resilient and secure: Zero Trust, policy enforcement, and data protection
