Why Now
Autonomy is moving beyond the vehicle.
Unmanned systems can operate with increasing independence, but recovery, power, data, and sustainment still depend on infrastructure built for people.
01
The physical layer of autonomy
As flight autonomy advances, more of the operational burden shifts to recovery, power, data, and sustainment between missions.
Thalaera is building modular infrastructure that enables autonomous systems to recover, recharge, exchange data, and return to operation with fewer people forward.
02
ArcDeck
Product 01 and Thalaera's initial wedge: an autonomous landing and power platform designed to close the loop between unmanned missions without a crew on the pad.
Status · Concept DevelopmentVisualizations show the intended product architecture and deployment concept; specifications remain subject to validation.
03
Network
ArcDeck begins as a single operational node. Distributed across land, vehicles, and sea, those nodes can become a resilient logistics fabric for contested environments.
One platform. Three domains.
Land Node
Fixed recovery and power at bases, forward positions, and logistics corridors.
Vehicle Node
Mobile operations — mount the platform on tactical vehicles and stay on mission.
Sea Node
Deck-compatible nodes for at-sea resupply, recharge, and relaunch.
Contested logistics over range.
Multi-Domain Mesh
Land, vehicle, and sea nodes form a resilient fabric — flexible routing so fleets stay supplied without stretching crew or fixed bases.
Contested Logistics
When a corridor is denied, the network shifts through other domains — coverage without a single point of failure.
Scale Without Crew
Reach expands with every pad you place — not every person you deploy.
Network Resilience
Nodes operate independently and as a mesh — degrade gracefully under jamming, loss, or isolation without collapsing the theater fabric.
04
Deployment
ArcDeck moves with existing expeditionary logistics — 463L-compatible, dense when stacked, and quick to assemble into an autonomous landing field.
01
463L Fit
Designed to fit a 463L HCU-6/E air cargo pallet — move more capability per lift with existing logistics.
02
Stack & Move
Units stack for transfer — dense packing for aircraft holds, containers, and expeditionary staging.
03
Expeditionary Field
Deploy multiple pads into an autonomous landing field — scalable from one node to a full grid.
05
Vision
ArcDeck starts with recovery and power. Each deployed node creates a foundation for data, diagnostics, replenishment, and service—expanding Thalaera from a focused product into an autonomous infrastructure platform.

01 · Today
Land · Power · Relaunch
Autonomous landing and electrical recharge — aircraft recover, take power, and return without a crew on the pad.
02 · Near Term
Data · Diagnostics · Sync
Secure transfer, health checks, and mission upload at the pad — so the aircraft leaves smarter than it arrived.
03 · Next
Battery · Payload · Service
Battery management, payload replenishment, and light servicing — each node a forward sustainment point.
04 · Horizon
Expeditionary Base Layer
A distributed physical network for recovery and autonomous resupply — infrastructure that scales with the fleet.
