Archeon C4
C2-Agnostic C4 Capability Layer
Your vendors are building C4 for their platforms.
We build C4 for your fleet.
Archeon C4 sits on top of any existing C2 system and extends it to genuine C4 — autonomous tactical decision-making, AI governance, mission planning, and fleet coordination — through a single, vendor-invariant integration architecture.
THE PROBLEM
Every Vendor Deepens the Interoperability Gap
Every C2 vendor is building toward C4 capability within their own platform — but only for their own platform. The more capable each vendor becomes in isolation, the less capable the heterogeneous fleet becomes in aggregate. No vessel's C4 intelligence can coordinate with another vendor's C4 intelligence. Fleet-level autonomous coordination across a mixed force is impossible without a horizontal integration layer.
THREE MODES OF OPERATION
One Platform, Any Integration
Cap-Up
Layers C4 capability on top of any existing C2 platform through the Universal Adapter Interface. No existing C2 functionality is replaced — C4 intelligence is added on top.
Fleet Coordination
Coordinates across multiple platforms regardless of underlying C2 systems. A mixed-vendor fleet operates as a unified C4 force through the shared intelligence layer.
Standalone
Where no existing C2 is present, provides a complete C1/C2/C3/C4 stack. COP, command pipeline, communications management, tactical decision-making, and mission execution.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Core Capability Pillars
Universal Adapter Interface
Five-dimension integration contract connects to any C2 platform. Sensor ingestion, decision injection, authority negotiation, capability discovery, and state synchronization — vendor-invariant by design.
AI Governance & Verification
Runtime decision verification gate — no autonomous decision executes without governance approval. Trust scoring, decision provenance, adversarial detection, and DoDD 3000.09 compliance.
Predictive Communications Resilience
Forecast link degradation before it occurs using geometry, sea-state, and emission models. Autonomous multi-path routing based on prediction, not reaction.
Fleet Coordination
Heterogeneous multi-asset coordination across vendor boundaries. Shared COP via CRDT-based sync. Distributed task allocation. Swarm behaviors under DDIL.
Zero-Trust Security
AI-driven intrusion detection with drift monitoring. Time-based trust decay. AES-256-GCM encryption. Key lifecycle management. No implicit trust.
Maritime Domain Awareness
Multi-sensor fusion with JPDA data association. Mahalanobis gating, M-of-N track confirmation, covariance intersection. Fleet-level distributed fusion.
ARCHITECTURE
Seven-Layer Software-Defined Stack
10 CSCIs. 44 DDS interfaces. 100ms processing cycle with five phases: Sense, Predict, Decide, Verify, Arbitrate. The Verify phase is the governance gate — no autonomous decision executes without it.
WHITE SPACE
Capabilities No Competitor Provides
After comprehensive analysis across 15+ vendors, no product provides a true vendor-neutral C4 coordination layer for heterogeneous autonomous maritime forces.
C2-Agnostic Integration
No competitor provides a C4 layer that operates across heterogeneous C2 platforms.
AI Governance & Decision Verification
No competitor provides runtime decision verification with trust scoring and audit provenance.
Fleet Coordination (Cross-Vendor)
Competitors coordinate only within their own ecosystems.
Predictive Link Management
Competitors react to degradation. We predict it.
OPEN ARCHITECTURE
MOSA by Design
Archeon C4 is built on open standards from the ground up. DDS-native middleware. UMAA compliance for Navy procurement. NATO interoperability via STANAG 4586. Coalition data exchange via JREAP-C. The Universal Adapter Interface is an open contract — not a proprietary lock-in.
- OMG DDS v1.4 (CycloneDDS)
- UMAA (reference adapter)
- STANAG 4586 Ed. 4
- JREAP-C
- MIL-STD-498
- DoDD 3000.09 (2023)
- NATO AI PRUs
- FIPS 140-3 (architecture)
Integration Targets
Archeon C4 does not compete with C2 vendors. Every deployed platform is a potential integration target.
