Thor's Hammer — Air
Program Overview
The Thor's Hammer program focuses on the development and integration of autonomous aerial systems supporting intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, precision effects, and contested logistics missions. The program is designed to operate in environments where conventional platforms, communications, and infrastructure cannot be assumed, enabling sustained operations under denied and degraded conditions.
Representative System Families
ISR & Surveillance Platforms
Autonomous aerial systems designed for persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, employing distributed autonomy to adapt flight paths and operate effectively in denied or degraded environments.
Precision Engagement & Interdiction Platforms
Autonomous and semi-autonomous aerial systems engineered for precision effects and interceptor roles, supporting both defensive and offensive missions with human-on-the-loop oversight.
Autonomous Logistics & Resupply Platforms
Unmanned aerial systems supporting distributed logistics and sustainment, enabling automated resupply to forward or dispersed units in contested conditions.
Aerial Defense & Infrastructure Protection Platforms
Rapid-response autonomous aerial systems designed to support base defense and critical infrastructure protection aligned with Golden Dome mission architectures.
Heavy-Lift & Endurance Platforms
High-capacity autonomous aerial systems optimized for extended endurance missions, supporting ISR, logistics, and sustained operations requiring integrated energy resilience.
Energy Mobility & Power Delivery Platforms
Specialized autonomous aerial configurations focused on deployable energy delivery when fixed power systems are unavailable.
From Program to Deployable Systems
The Thor's Hammer program translates these system families into mission-configured platforms tailored to operational requirements. Detailed system configurations are realized through Orion Strike Technologies' proposed product line and core technology stack.
Thor's Hammer — System Portfolio
The Thor's Hammer system portfolio comprises mission-configured airborne platforms derived from the program's representative system families and core enabling technologies.
AeroScout™
AeroScout™ is a long-endurance autonomous ISR platform optimized for wide-area surveillance and persistent situational awareness. Powered by SwarmAI™, AeroScout adapts its routing in real time, performs onboard target classification, and maintains navigation continuity in GPS-denied environments—supporting reliable reconnaissance when traditional ISR systems are degraded.
AeroStrike™
AeroStrike™ is an autonomous precision-effects platform designed for distributed operations in contested airspace. Leveraging SwarmAI™, AeroStrike supports cooperative targeting, adaptive mission execution, and human-on-the-loop control, enabling controlled application of force when centralized command and communications are limited.
AeroSupply™
AeroSupply™ is an autonomous aerial logistics platform designed to support resupply operations in denied or high-risk environments. Using adaptive mission planning and real-time rerouting, AeroSupply delivers critical supplies while reducing reliance on vulnerable ground-based logistics and fixed infrastructure.
AeroShield™
AeroShield™ is an autonomous aerial defense platform designed to support base and infrastructure protection. Integrated with layered defense architectures, AeroShield provides rapid detection, tracking, and response to aerial threats, enabling scalable defensive coverage under dynamic and time-sensitive conditions.
AeroGuardian™
AeroGuardian™ is a long-endurance, heavy-lift autonomous platform designed to support sustained ISR, electronic warfare, and logistics missions. Built for extended airborne operations, AeroGuardian provides persistent coverage and payload capacity for missions requiring continuous presence and operational reach.
AeroGuardian™ Tactical Power UAV (TPU)
AeroGuardian™ Tactical Power UAV (TPU) is a heavy-lift autonomous platform designed to deliver deployable electrical power to forward and infrastructure-denied locations. Capable of transporting 50–150 kWh per sortie, the TPU supports command posts, communications nodes, medical facilities, and recovery operations where fixed power sources are unavailable or compromised.
