Forged for the fight.
Named systems, specified honestly. Defensive interceptors, ISR platforms, kinetic effectors, electronic warfare, and unmanned maritime — qualified across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones first, then extended to ECOWAS, MNJTF, and the wider continent. Integrated end-to-end with the Obsidyan software fabric.
Aegis
Hard-kill against commercial quadcopters and one-way attack drones threatening the Federal Capital, NNPC and Dangote upstream facilities, the presidential fleet, Eagle Square / Aso Villa overwatch, and 7 Div forward bases around Lake Chad. Radar + EO/IR cued, layered behind Bastion EW for soft-kill first.

Pairs with Sentinel mesh for early track. Magazine sized for fixed-site protection of Nigerian critical national infrastructure and for pickup-mounted deployment with NA Brigades.
Sentinel
Seismic, acoustic, and RF fusion node for the ungoverned spaces Nigerian forces actually patrol: Sambisa, the Lake Chad islands, Falgore and Kamuku forests, the Mandara mountains, and the Nigeria–Niger and Nigeria–Cameroon frontiers. Air-droppable from NAF rotary, solar-rechargeable, mesh-routed.

Default sensing layer for NA FOBs, convoy routes on the Maiduguri–Damaturu axis, and remote NSCDC pipeline overwatch. A single airdrop blankets ~80 km of border.
Citadel
Replaces the laptop-and-tent C2 reality of Nigerian forward HQs with a deployable, certifiable command surface. Sized for NA brigade and battalion footprints, DSS tactical deployments, and joint task forces. Transportable enclosure running Citadel OS, post-quantum link, tamper-evident.

Single-pallet — or single Hilux bed — command capability. Runs on hybrid solar so it does not draw down the FOB generator.
Bastion
Soft-kill against the drones actually flown against Nigerian assets: commercial quadcopters over NNPC and IOC facilities in the Delta, ISWAP FPV use in Borno and Yobe, surveillance drones over presidential and VVIP movements. GNSS-spoofing-resistant for environments where adversaries already deploy basic jamming.

- Power
- AC + onboard battery · solar option
First layer of the counter-UAS stack — defeat without expending an interceptor whenever possible. Pickup-mounted variant for NA convoy overwatch.
Tideline
Unmanned surface vessel for NN, NIMASA, and Deep Blue Project taskings: anti-piracy patrol along the Gulf of Guinea approaches, anti-bunkering sweeps in the Niger Delta creeks, IUU fishing enforcement, and persistent overwatch on the Bonny and Escravos terminal approaches. Two hull variants — bluewater and shallow creek.
- Endurance
- 36 h coastal · 14 h creek
- Speed

- Payload

- Comms
- SatCom + LTE + mesh
- Crew interface
- NN / NIMASA / Deep Blue C2
- Environment
- Sea state 4 · creek-draft variant
Cues NN and Deep Blue assets for VBSS rather than engaging unilaterally. Operates day-long unmanned loops where crewed patrol is uneconomic.
Reaver-LM
Time-sensitive strike on ISWAP and JAS movements in Sambisa and the Lake Chad island chain, and on bandit camps in Zamfara, Katsina, and Sokoto forests. Range bands matched to NA brigade footprints and NAF rotary lily-pads. Operator-in-the-loop until terminal commit.

- Terminal dash
- 240 km/h
- Warhead

- Datalink
- Encrypted mesh, jam-resilient
Replaces dependence on foreign-controlled strike assets that arrive with phone-home telemetry and use-restriction clauses. Launched in salvos of 1–8 from a mobile NA cell.
Talon
Direct sovereign replacement for the foreign MALE platforms — Bayraktar TB2, Wing Loong II, CH-3/CH-4 — currently flown by the Nigerian Air Force. Persistent ISR with onboard precision effects, sovereign datalink end-to-end. No phone-home, no foreign ground station gating Nigerian fires.

- 240 kg, 4 stations
- Sensors
- EO/IR turret · SAR · SIGINT
- Datalink

- Effectors
- Air-to-surface, modular
Closes the ISR-strike loop entirely inside the NAF chain of command: trigger authority stays with the Air Officer Commanding, not with a foreign vendor.
Cinder
Disrupts the spectrum Nigerian adversaries actually use: ISWAP and JAS VHF nets around Lake Chad, bandit Motorola and CB traffic across the North-West forests, and pirate VHF in the Gulf of Guinea. Air-launchable from NAF rotary or pickup-mounted with NA EW elements.

Used to shape the electromagnetic battlespace — open the corridor before kinetic effects arrive. Field-updateable spectrum library reflects in-country adversary catalogues.
Obsidian-Edge
Layered-fires effector against hardened ISWAP/JAS compounds in the Lake Chad basin, pirate motherships in the Gulf of Guinea, and bunkering / narcotic logistics nodes worked by NDLEA, EFCC and NN intelligence. Ground or air launch.

Link
Wearable / vehicle / fixed radio carrying the same encrypted mesh across the tri-service Nigerian force — NA, NN, NAF — and interoperating with legacy radios already in inventory: Harris, Codan HF, Motorola, and Chinese-export sets fielded by MNJTF partners.

Aether-Drone
Compact ISR for Nigerian tactical units — NA brigade overwatch in the North-East and North-West, IED-corridor surveillance on the Maiduguri–Damaturu and Damaturu–Potiskum axes, kidnapping-corridor patrol on the Kaduna–Abuja and Birnin Gwari routes, and NSCDC pipeline overwatch in the Delta. Pairs with Aether fusion, employable defensively or as offensive cueing.

Sensor-first design — kinetic options exist but are not the default. One airframe, two doctrinal roles.
Offensive systems are fielded first with the Nigerian Armed Forces under DHQ and ONSA authority. Export to ECOWAS, MNJTF, and other African sovereign forces occurs only under government-to-government authorization. Specifications shown reflect baseline configurations; mission profiles, datalink integration, and export class are subject to bilateral agreement.
