VIPER

Mission OS for autonomous forces.

Coordinate heterogeneous aerial, ground and maritime assets as a unified operational force through mission orchestration, shared awareness and distributed autonomy.

The Mission Layer

VIPER puts the mission above the individual system.

VIPER sits above existing platforms, sensors and control systems, connecting their capabilities through a common mission layer. It gives operators a shared environment to define mission intent, allocate tasks and coordinate execution across the network.

Platform state, sensor inputs and intelligence are brought into the same mission context, allowing distributed systems to contribute to one coordinated objective.

Mission Layer network: a satellite, fixed-wing, heavy-lift, recon and ISR UAVs, a UGV, a USV, an RF sensor, a comms relay and an operator are linked to one another and each linked into the VIPER Mission OS screen at the centre.

Operating Model

Built for real-world autonomous operations.

Mission Orchestration

Coordinate heterogeneous platforms around a common mission objective.

Cooperative Autonomy

Enable platforms to execute defined tasks while operating as part of a larger mission.

Shared Operational Picture

Combine platform state, telemetry and sensor inputs into a common view of the mission.

Dynamic Tasking

Reassign tasks as mission objectives, platform state and operating conditions change.

IFF

Identify and distinguish friendly platforms through mission context and multiple sources of information.

Swarming

Coordinate multiple autonomous platforms to execute a shared objective with distributed tasking and coordinated behaviour.

Platform Agnostic

Integrate existing and future platforms across manufacturers and domains without replacing the underlying infrastructure.

Threat Classification & Detection

Classify and detect potential threats using distributed sensor inputs and mission context.

Edge Autonomy

Autonomy that doesn’t stop at the control room.

Driif Edge Agent · Scout · Pre-commercial offering

VIPER distributes mission logic to the edge through Scout, the Driif Edge Agent. Running on the platform, Scout enables local decision-making and mission execution when connectivity to the control layer is degraded while keeping operators responsible for mission intent and critical decisions.

01

Edge Execution

Scout executes mission logic at the edge, without relying on continuous GCS or cloud connectivity.

Human Authority

Operators retain control over objectives, rules and critical decisions.

Degraded Connectivity

Mesh networking and synchronized timelines maintain coordination in contested or degraded environments.

The Operator Experience

The operator manages the mission. Not every platform.

Faster induction, lower training cost per operator, a force that scales with procurement.

The Approach Now VIPER Mission OS

APIs and integration platforms move data between systems but can’t orient, decide, or act at mission speed.

A decision layer built to allow you to act at the pace the mission needs.

Single-vendor systems lock you into one OEM’s ecosystem.

Hardware-agnostic. Works with what you’ve already deployed, from any manufacturer.

OEM-specific control room per platform.

An operator trained on VIPER can command every platform in the fleet.

Every new platform means retraining.

New platforms inherit the same command logic and interface.

Operators overloaded in high-tempo ops.

Edge autonomy handles real-time classification and rule enforcement. Operators focus on decisions, not babysitting platforms.

Every Platform

One tasking grammar. High altitude to sub-surface.

Loitering munitions, one-way attack, ISR, interceptors, FPVs and more. VIPER tasks the platforms you already field and orchestrates them as one force, under one operator.

Runs on Driif Mission OS

The layer underneath.

VIPER runs on Driif Mission OS: the same mesh, autonomy and edge perception that sit under every Driif mission.

Edge-to-Edge Mesh

Decentralised coordination that keeps working in degraded, denied and zero-RF conditions.

Mission Autonomy

One operator sets intent; mixed fleets divide the work under human authority.
