Stark C2
Minerva

Mission Operating System

Our Mission Operating System is built for real-world operations.

Introducing our Command and Weapons Control (C2) system: Minerva.

We break the single operator, single vehicle paradigm by giving one individual the power to control a swarm of unmanned systems. STARK’s software is human-centred, swarm-capable, and designed for seamless interoperability across platforms and military IT infrastructure.

HUMAN-CENTRED

Minerva’s custom software nodes translate mission objectives and context into actionable plans and vehicle specific commands. This allows the unmanned systems to dynamically adapt in unforeseen situations and relieves the operator of manual input.

It enables precision strikes tailored to mission requirements in a data-link denied environment. Minerva maintains Reasonable Human Control at all times.

Swarm-Enabled

Instead of requiring one operator per vehicle, Minerva  enables one operator to rapidly decide and execute operations across a coordinated unmanned task force. Both individual and collective tasking are supported for flexible mission execution.

Minerva ensures task-execution according to Tactical Responsible Use.

Interoperability

Designed with interoperability in mind, Minerva enables the standardised control of unmanned systems from different vendors—making it easy to bring together a variety of platforms into one coordinated task force.

We connect systems from the battlefield to the cloud to ensure high availability in Battle Management Systems (BMS). Thanks to our containerized onboard solution, applications and AI models from military partners can be integrated into the system.

Modular Open SYSTEM Architecture: Digital sovereignty for today’s Armed Forces

Modern missions need a Command and control (C2) system that is sovereign, flexible, and future-proof but proprietary solutions only partially meet these requirements. This is why STARK uses a Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) approach for the core of our C2 technology.

Why use an open C2 UMS Core?

  • Full Digital Sovereignty: The C2 UMS Core is fully owned by the military user. Development, operation, and maintenance remain entirely under the user’s control.
  • Maximum Flexibility: It can be developed and adapted at any time without the burden of relying on individual vendors.
  • Future-Proof Design: Open C2 Core will evolve into a durable, functional standard that is NATO compliant.
  • Ready for Future Swarm Operations: This technology will be central for enabling advanced swarming capabilities of unmanned systems.

Our Contribution: Expertise, Architecture, Implementation

We bring extensive experience from the development of the Minerva C2 software as well as deep expertise in reconnaissance and strike operations, particularly in the integration of unmanned systems such as loitering munitions.

We support our partners with:

  • Proven Architecture: We directly transfer established architectures and best practices from Minerva into the open-architecture development process.
  • Cooperative Development: We jointly develop the C2 UMS Core with its users and ensure it is consistently aligned with future operational needs.
  • Neutrality and Interoperability: Our approach is vendor-agnostic and standardised in the way it integrates unmanned systems into the military decision-making process within SitaWare, TAK, or MESE.
