Command
It carries a frame number.
Defence and resilience
A remote decision rests on image age.
Jamming and congested networks turn delay into a tactical problem. The operator must know when the image stopped being valid.
Needs: Two networks at onceResilience in outagesIntegration into your own drone
Illustrative case study
A remote exercise
This is not a customer and not a flight that happened. It is a description of how this area would read if the image carried its age.
A training ground, an illustration
A unit trains control beyond line of sight. Every command is to carry the number of the frame it came from. After the exercise they ask how many commands rested on an old image.
In the example one network fails. The frame goes via the other. When neither is valid, Direct shows a neutral screen. A late command is not executed.
Operators rotate. The record says who saw which frame. This is not a weapon system and not resistance to every kind of jamming.
Outage
A neutral screen, not a frozen scene.
Debrief
The share of commands from an old image is visible.
A radio backup is not yet in the design.
Image age through the example
The chart requires JavaScript.
The chart is a simulation. Move the slowdown and see when the example stops being under the 50 ms target. The target is not a measured result.
Deployment schematic
Where everything stands and how the image travels
The schematic is not to scale and is not a design for a specific site. It shows where the drone is, which two networks carry the frame and where the decision is made.
Numbers in the schematic
- 1A training launch from a marked area.
- 2Zone Z: one network is jammed here in the exercise.
- 3The frame passes via the other network. The switch is logged.
- 4Platform ties a command to a frame number.
- 5When neither network is valid, Direct shows a neutral screen.
- 6Debrief: how many commands rested on an old image.
Symbols in the schematic
- BStation or launch point
- DDrone with AKIZU Brain
- S1 · S2Two mobile networks at once
- PAKIZU Platform: fleet and pack
- OAKIZU Direct: operator and image state
Red and blue beacons: police, state, the military in training. Orange: everyone else. The blink is only on screen. Schematic, design. The list beside it explains the codes in the drawing. The beacon is a payload from another maker, not an AKIZU product.
Concrete case
Minute by minute
The same illustrative case as above, written out in time. The times are an example. It is not a record of a flight that happened.
- 09:00Briefing. The aim of the exercise is a command with a frame number.
- 09:20Launch. Two drones in the training area.
- 09:34In zone Z one network drops. The frame goes via the other.
- 09:36Both networks over the target. A neutral screen. A late command is not executed.
- 09:38The image returns to Valid. The operator continues.
- 10:30Debrief with the record: who saw which frame.

Use options
Everything it can be used for in this area
Each row is a separate use. The Parts column says which AKIZU parts it would involve. Status N is a design, C is a target, U is unknown.
| Use | Who uses it | What AKIZU supplies | Parts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beyond-line-of-sight control training | Training centre | A command with a frame number and a debrief | Brain, SIM, Direct, Platform | N |
| Terrain reconnaissance in an exercise | Unit | Image age on every command | Brain, Direct | N |
| Operator rotation | Exercise commander | A record of who saw which frame | Platform | N |
| A network-loss drill | Training | A visible state, not a frozen scene | Direct | N |
| Radio backup | — | Not yet in the design | — | U |
None of these uses is deployed today. A row is not an offer and not an authorisation to fly.
01
The problem today
01
Jamming and outages
The link changes from second to second. An image that freezes without warning is dangerous.
02
Commands from an old image
If the operator reacts to an old image, the drone executes the command in a different situation than the one the operator saw.
03
Supply chain
In sensitive deployments it matters where the software comes from and where the data is.
04
Several operators, one image
If operators rotate, the record must say who saw which frame.
Without AKIZU and with AKIZU
The same situation, different information on the screen. Proposed behaviour, to be verified in a pilot.
| Situation | Without AKIZU | With AKIZU |
|---|---|---|
| The image is late | The image looks live; the pilot does not know how old it is. | Frame age is on the screen and the state changes to Reduced freshness. N |
| One network fails | The image freezes or breaks up. | The frame arrives over the second network; the switch is logged. N |
| Link outage | The last frame stays on screen and looks valid. | A neutral screen with the reason, not a frozen image. N |
| Your own drone, your own software | Image-age measurement has to be built from scratch. | Brain and VERA as a module with a clear interface. N |
02
How it would work
- ExerciseThe unit flies the drone remotely over two networks.
- Command protectionEvery command carries a frame number. The drone rejects a command based on an old image.
- OutageDirect shows a neutral screen with the reason.
- DebriefAfter the exercise you see how many commands came from an old image.
- HandoverPlatform logs the operator change without a gap in the command chain.
The flow is illustrative. AKIZU is in development.

Mission scenario
How many metres further the drone is than the image shows. Pick a scenario or set the speed and image age.
The interactive calculation requires JavaScript.
Scenario speeds are examples. 87.4 ms is the p99 measured internally over WiFi with a phone as transmitter, not on a drone.

Who works with it
01
Operator
Knows when the image stopped being valid; their commands are not executed in a different situation.
02
Commander
Sees which image the decisions rested on.
03
Instructor
Has numbers for the debrief after the exercise.
What we will measure in the pilot
- Rejected late commands100 % caught C
- Image age at commandrecorded for each N
- Time in Valid≥ 95 % C
06
What you get after every flight
- Number and share of rejected late commands
- Image age at every command
- Network switches and outages over time
- Data stored as agreed with the operator
- Who issued the command and from which frame

Context
EU action plan
In February 2026 the European Commission published an action plan on drone and counter-drone security.
Source: European Commission
A standard for control beyond line of sight
The 3GPP standard describes video requirements for controlling a drone beyond line of sight, including 140 ms.
Source: 3GPP TS 22.125
What happens when the network fails?
The station does not show an old frame as current. When the age exceeds the deadline it switches to a neutral screen and shows the reason. We measured the switch internally within 2.72 ms.
Where will data be stored?
The target is data centres in the European Union. The customer sets the retention period for records and video.
Do I have to use AKIZU SIM?
Brain will have a nano-SIM slot. We plan AKIZU SIM as an option managed in AKIZU Platform. Terms for using other cards will be agreed with partners.
09
What the operator sees
The three image states in this area. Proposed behaviour, to be verified in a pilot.
The operator knows the command comes from a current image.
The command may still pass, but the panel says the margin is running out.
The drone does not execute a late command. The screen does not keep a frozen scene.

What we do not do in this area
Not a weapon system
AKIZU does not control weapons and does not design tactics.
Not resistance to every kind of jamming
Two networks are a design. A radio backup is not yet part of it.
European chain
A target for Brain and Platform, not a finished supplier audit.
A pilot in this area
A remote decision rests on image age.
We are looking for first partners. The application is pre-filled for this area.
Other areas
Example deployments are illustrative. AKIZU is in development and does not replace a BVLOS authorisation.
In more detail
Before a meeting on an exercise
Remote practice needs a frame number on the command. It is not a weapon.
We ask how many commands today rest on an image whose age you do not know. That is a debrief question, not a question of armament.
We do not promise resistance to every kind of jamming. A radio backup is not in the design.
Bring to the meeting
- Who issues the command.
- Whether commands are logged.
- What should happen when the image is not valid.
This is not
- A weapon system.
- Replace the crew.
- Jamming as a service.
