KEPLER-9 SPACE
Mission-grade autonomous systems

Engineered for the missions that matter.
Quiet. Encrypted. Precise.

Kepler-9 Space Systems designs and manufactures unmanned aerial platforms, edge-AI autonomy, post-quantum data links and phased-array radar — fully integrated, end to end.

In-house designs

Airframes engineered for the mission, not for show.

From large low-observable manta-ray platforms to scaled FPV teams, every airframe is designed, prototyped and manufactured in-house.

Technology stack

Four pillars. One integrated system.

Autonomy, security and sensing built end-to-end so they actually work together in the field.

Edge AI

On-board target classification, jamming-aware navigation and swarm coordination running on rugged NVIDIA Jetson / FPGA modules. Zero round-trip to the cloud.

  • Real-time object classification
  • Mission-aware autonomy
  • Swarm consensus protocols

Post-Quantum Encryption

ML-KEM-768 (Kyber) + ML-DSA (Dilithium) data links. Forward-secret session keys, hardware-rooted identity, every payload signed and rotated.

  • NIST PQC suite
  • Hardware-rooted keys
  • Per-session forward secrecy

Phased Array Radar

X/Ku-band phased arrays with GaAs T/R modules in the current prototype, with GaN on the roadmap. Sub-millisecond electronic beamsteering. Detects micro-RCS targets (< 0.01 m²) at tactical ranges. Multi-beam, multi-target.

  • GaAs T/R modules · GaN on the roadmap
  • Digital beamforming
  • AI clutter rejection

Secure Mesh Comms

Self-healing mesh radio with frequency hopping, post-quantum tunneling, and graceful degradation under EW pressure. Operates beyond line-of-sight via relay.

  • Frequency-agile radio
  • PQ-VPN tunneling
  • BLOS relay capable
For investors

An autonomous platform, not a single product.

We are raising to scale manufacturing, expand the radar program and certify the post-quantum link stack for aerospace and critical-infrastructure customers.

  • In-house R&D, engineering and manufacturing — no critical third-party dependencies.
  • Vertical integration: airframes, propulsion, avionics, AI, radar and crypto stack in-house.
  • Active dialogue with international aerospace primes.
  • Roadmap to autonomous interceptor and counter-UAS station by Q4.
