Platform Overview
REF · CONOPS-A1
The WAVEL-V2 is a forward-swept-wing VTOL interceptor engineered to detect, chase and kinetically neutralise Shahed-class one-way attack UAVs and Class-I/II threats. Quad tilting-rotor lift transitions to wing-borne cruise with a 40–60% closure margin over Shahed-136.

Operational Demonstrations
LIVE · PROCEDURAL
Live procedural simulations of WAVEL-V2's core mission capabilities. Each panel runs real kinematic and coordination logic — not pre-rendered video. All paths are computed from seeker & guidance-law equations at 60 Hz.
◆ Point-to-Point TargetingDEMO 01
Waypoint-sequenced interception against a moving target. Mid-course proportional navigation; terminal hand-off to seeker when range drops inside 1.5 km. Status & time-to-impact update in real time from the geometry.

◆ Attack ProfilesDEMO 02
Four engagement geometries — direct, pop-up, top-attack and crossing. Airframe selects dynamically based on threat cross-section, seeker field-of-view and available approach altitude.

◆ Swarm Mesh CommsDEMO 03
Six-unit cooperative engagement. When any node acquires a target, a detection broadcast propagates through the AES-encrypted mesh in under 50 ms; the formation reprioritises and shares a fused track in real time.

GNSS-DENIED
WAVEL-V2 runs a pure Visual-Inertial Odometry solution with multi-constellation GNSS as an opportunistic aid, not a primary. A 100-TOPS edge inference module continuously fuses stereo VIO, tactical-grade IMU, terrain-relative DEM matching and AI target classification to maintain lock through GPS-jammed airspace — the exact condition Shahed-class engagements occur in.
