The Hive
Unmanned fleets starve without pads, repair, and power. MESH quantum induction pads couple in proximity so vehicles hop charge across the hive. Dual-use by design.
Air · VTOL pad
Modular landing decks for unmanned tilt-rotor and multicopter aircraft. Each deck is a MESH node. Aircraft couple in proximity on approach and stay on the hop until launch. Autonomous recovery, deck lighting, and tie-downs rated for desert and littoral wind.
Ground · Charge yard
Parking for autonomous ground vehicles. Stalls are MESH nodes. A vehicle in the yard is a hop, not a load waiting on a cable. Neighbors in range take and pass charge while CORE is up.
Maintenance · Bay
Robotic arms and inspection droids that keep the fleet turning. The bay floor sits on MESH. Arms and droids charge in place while they work. Tire, battery, payload swap, and hull inspection without a manned pit crew on the line.
Power · Plant
A compact civil micro-reactor behind a berm. CORE is the source. MESH is the hop. Pads, vehicles, and bays stay live without a utility tie. Heat and switchgear are the industrial object, not a slide.
Charge · Quantum induction
Quantum induction pads that couple when they come in range of one another. A vehicle on a pad is a hop. Power moves pad to vehicle to pad across the hive so anything in proximity stays on charge. CORE supplies the field. MESH does not invent energy. It stops the pit stop.
