“Charlie is your CP. Build it around AWS Outposts.”
The command-post tier of the DRAIDIS family. CHARLIE connects selected field nodes, local AWS Outposts workloads, regional AWS services, and operator workflows. Your architecture defines where data is stored, what synchronizes, and which actions require human approval.

Capabilities
Combine local and regional AWS services around your mission data, node fleet, connectivity, and operator workflow.
Fleet Management Dashboard
View reported battery, sensor, workload, storage, and connectivity status from the DRAIDIS nodes your team selects. The dashboard shows link state and the age of each report.
Model Evaluation & Controlled Updates
Evaluate models with the data your team selects, then stage reviewed model and software packages to selected nodes. Your team chooses whether operational data may be used to improve a model.
Data Lake Aggregation
Bring selected events from participating Alpha and Bravo nodes into your storage environment, with their source and rules for access, sharing, and retention attached.
Streaming Analytics
Stream selected telemetry and candidate events from participating nodes when connectivity permits. The pilot measures throughput and latency with your event volume and link conditions.
Policy Distribution
Stage mission policies, thresholds, and reviewed software packages to selected nodes through version-controlled rollout workflows.
Shared Operating Picture
Bring selected candidate detections, positions, and intelligence from participating nodes into a map-based decision-support view for command staff.
Deployment Scenarios
Command-level patterns for coordinating selected DRAIDIS nodes across one or more sites.
Division / Corps TOC
Manage selected field nodes, aggregate mission data, evaluate model packages, and support streaming decision workflows from the TOC.
Forward Operating Base CP
Manage participating nodes and aggregate selected local data at the FOB, with regional AI services available when the program and network allow them.
SATCOM-Connected HQ
Synchronize selected data over a satellite link while keeping chosen workloads on local hardware. Field tests show operators what remains available when the link drops.
Multi-Site Operations Center
Exchange selected cross-site information and reviewed model packages between CHARLIE nodes, with access and synchronization rules set by your team.

* These are planning targets. We confirm capacity, integration, resilience, and security with the services, nodes, event volume, and links in your design. You choose the operational data used to evaluate or improve a model. Operational data stays out of shared model training unless your team directs us to use it for that purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
CHARLIE can place selected compute and storage workloads on AWS Outposts and use regional AWS services when a link is available. During the pilot, we map each dependency and test what continues locally during the outages your team expects. Regional services still need connectivity.
The available local services depend on the AWS Outposts form factor and Region. A CHARLIE design can also connect to regional services such as Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker AI, Kinesis, Amazon S3, IAM, and AWS KMS. We confirm service availability with AWS and map data flow and controls to your program requirements before choosing the final stack.
We size CHARLIE for the Alpha and Bravo nodes your program needs. A 10-50-node range is a planning starting point. Load tests confirm the final scale for your event volume, models, storage, network, synchronization rules, and resilience design.
The footprint depends on the AWS Outposts form factor, compute, storage, network, power, cooling, and redundancy you select. We use a site survey and current AWS specifications to fit the design to your facility.
