Mission role
The carriage and canister for THORNWALL.
Current phase
Built carriage/canister prototype
System intent
Built for its layer. Engineered for the whole mission.
TANKARD is the carriage/canister we have built. It provides the physical starting point for integrating THORNWALL with COMPOSITION, with development focused on packaging, access, handling, and the interfaces between hardware and mission software.
TANKARD is the carriage and canister at the physical foundation of our interceptor system. Our built prototype brings packaging, protected carriage, and field handling into one piece of hardware.
