Full Specifications
Capabilities
On-device inference. no cloud, no latency, no dependency.
Real-Time Object Detection
YOLO v8 inference at 30+ FPS for detection and classification of vehicles, personnel, equipment, and threats on live camera feeds.
Speech-to-Text in 90+ Languages
Whisper ASR provides hands-free voice-to-text for commands, report dictation, and multilingual transcription in the field.
Local RAG over SOPs and Manuals
Encrypted local vector store retrieves doctrine, SOPs, and field manuals. Answers operator questions with cited, authoritative references.
Anomaly Detection on Sensor Feeds
Baseline-deviation algorithms flag unusual movement patterns, acoustic signatures, RF emissions, and thermal anomalies in real-time.
ATAK Plugin Integration
Native ATAK plugin overlays AI-generated detections, alerts, and recommendations directly on the operator map display for an integrated field workflow.
Mesh Sync with Other DRAIDIS Nodes
Encrypted peer-to-peer mesh networking with automatic data sharing, collaborative threat detection, interoperable data exchange, and delta sync to BRAVO and CHARLIE.
Deployment Scenarios
Purpose-built for dismounted and small-team operations.
Dismounted Patrol
Threat detection on the move — backpack-carried AI provides real-time object detection, route analysis, and voice-activated intelligence queries.
Forward Observer
ISR processing at the collection point — AI-powered target detection, range estimation, and automated reporting to higher headquarters.
Recon Team
Persistent surveillance with AI triage — small team reconnaissance with pattern-of-life analysis, area surveillance, and covert intelligence collection.
Special Operations
Voice-to-intel in denied environments — low-signature operations with minimal radio traffic. On-device intelligence without network dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
DRAIDIS ALPHA weighs under 5 kg including battery, designed to fit inside a standard MOLLE-compatible rucksack. The compact 220 x 160 x 80 mm form factor ensures it does not impede dismounted movement or tactical maneuver.
DRAIDIS ALPHA draws 10-25 W depending on AI workload. With a standard military-grade field battery, expect 2-6 hours of continuous full-load operations. USB-C Power Delivery allows hot-swap charging and external battery packs for indefinite operation.
Yes. DRAIDIS ALPHA supports Wi-Fi 6 and mesh radio networking with other ALPHA and BRAVO nodes via encrypted links with mTLS and zero trust. The node exchanges interoperable data packages, model updates, and operational data, and it can expose open API adapters for adjacent mission applications when a CHARLIE node or tactical gateway is available.
ALPHA runs a 3B parameter LLM for natural language queries and RAG, YOLO v8 for real-time object detection and classification at 30+ FPS, and Whisper ASR for speech-to-text in 90+ languages. All models run locally with no cloud dependency.
Yes. ALPHA is built for flexible payloads at the dismounted edge, including EO/IR, thermal, acoustic, and mission-specific sensor packages. Open API adapters make it practical to integrate new payloads without rebuilding the core software stack.
