Direct sensor access
Downlink and ingest from space, airborne and ground sensors at the node, so returns are exploitable locally without a round trip to a distant enterprise.

Plintir VANGUARD
Expeditionary Ground Station & Deployable Node
A deployable intelligence node, not a server room
A deployed headquarters that has to reach back to a home network for every query is a headquarters operating at the speed of its worst satellite link. VANGUARD puts direct sensor access and full analytic capability inside the perimeter — a small cluster, emplaced in hours, running the same mission model as the enterprise.

| Reachback link | INTERMITTENT | Operating in store-and-forward | Not required |
Reachback is optional, not assumed. The reachback link is intermittent and the node is fully operational anyway, because every function a deployed headquarters needs runs inside the perimeter.
Full analytic capability forward
Search, geospatial, link analysis, entity workflows and inference run locally at headquarters scale, with the same ontology and policy model as the enterprise.

Resilient by design
Local high availability, encrypted storage, device identity and remote quarantine, so a node that is lost is a node that is revoked rather than a breach.

Exploitation happens where the data lands. Products are processed on the node and routed straight to the requirement that asked for them, without a round trip to a distant enterprise over a contested link.
Deploys where you work
One platform, every environment.
VANGUARD runs identically in commercial cloud, sovereign cloud, on-premises, high-side and fully air-gapped estates, and degrades predictably at the tactical edge.

Runs the mission picture, local search and on-device inference on a disconnected field node for days, then synchronises safely — surfacing conflicts instead of silently overwriting them.
