// OVERVIEW
REMUDA — Rapid Engagement Munition, Unmanned Deployable Autonomous — is CDD's counter-UAS interceptor. A rail-launched quadcopter built around a single problem: closing the kill chain on Group 1 and Group 2 threats faster than they close on the protected asset.
Launch is from a fixed or vehicle-mounted rail. Cueing is accepted from operator track or upstream radar/EO/IR. Terminal phase is autonomous and intentionally simple.
The platform is engineered against an explicit cost target: an interceptor whose unit economics make sense at the threat density that small-quadcopter swarms generate.

// AVIONICS & AUTONOMY
Every CDD platform runs the Auterion Skynode X flight stack. One avionics backbone. One operator interface. One ecosystem across the entire product line.
CDD platforms ship with the Auterion Skynode X mission computer at their core — the same flight stack fielded across U.S. and allied military aircraft worldwide. Skynode X is not just a flight controller. It is a full mission computer running AuterionOS, hosting Enterprise PX4 firmware, supporting Docker-based payload applications, and providing native integration with the broader Auterion ecosystem: fleet management, cloud video, mission planning, and government-edition autonomy applications. Operators trained on one CDD platform are trained on all of them. Capabilities developed for one aircraft propagate across the fleet.
// FLIGHT STACK
Auterion's enterprise distribution of PX4 — the same open-source autopilot used across allied military aviation, hardened for production use with long-term support, security patching, and certified parameter sets. Vehicle-agnostic across multirotor, fixed-wing, and ground configurations.
// OPERATING SYSTEM
Linux-based real-time operating system running on Skynode X. Hosts the flight controller, mission computer, payload manager, and Docker container runtime. Field-updatable over the air. Same OS image across the entire CDD fleet.
// MISSION PLANNING
The Android tablet ground station application used to plan, monitor, and execute missions. Touch-driven waypoint planning, live video, telemetry overlay, and one-button vehicle handoff between operators. Runs on standard MFK and Samsung Tactical Edition hardware.
// FLEET MANAGEMENT
Cloud-based fleet management for multi-vehicle operations. Mission archive, video library, telemetry analytics, OTA firmware deployment, and team coordination across geographically distributed operators. Enterprise license active across CDD platforms.
// SECURE DATALINK
Doodle Labs Mesh Rider integration provides AES-encrypted 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz tactical mesh networking with non-line-of-sight capability. Multiple vehicles and ground nodes operate on the same self-healing mesh — adding a vehicle adds a relay node.
// CELLULAR C2
Skynode X integrated LTE modem enables direct command and control over commercial cellular networks where coverage exists. No additional radio hardware required. Eliminates the line-of-sight constraint of RF datalinks for operations across cellular-covered terrain.
// BEYOND VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT
Tailscale-based VPN that extends C2 across LTE without requiring static IPs, dedicated infrastructure, or NAT traversal configuration. Operate vehicles from anywhere with cellular coverage — the GCS device and the vehicle's LTE link join the same private network as if they were on the same LAN.
// CLOUD VIDEO
Real-time video streaming from the vehicle to any authorized device through the Auterion Suite cloud. Watch a mission from a desktop browser, a tablet at the TOC, or another operator's phone — anywhere with an internet connection. Mission video archived automatically for post-mission review and after-action reporting.
// PAYLOAD ECOSYSTEM
AuterionOS runs Docker containers as first-class payload applications. Third-party computer vision, sensor processing, and autonomy workloads deploy as containerized apps without modifying the flight stack. Custom CDD payload integrations build alongside Auterion's published payload SDK.
// FLEET STANDARDIZATION
The same Skynode X mission computer, the same AuterionOS image, the same AMC interface, and the same Auterion Suite fleet manager runs across every CDD platform. Operators trained on one aircraft are trained on all of them. Spare parts, firmware, and procedures standardize across the inventory.
// COMPLIANCE
Skynode X is NDAA-compliant and an authorized component within the Blue UAS Framework. CDD platforms inherit this compliance posture directly — every aircraft in the line is procurable under Section 889 restrictions and federal acquisition language requiring authorized component lists.
CDD is an Auterion Developer Program partner. The Skynode X and the Auterion ecosystem are the avionics and software backbone that makes everything else on this page possible.
