Frequently asked questions

BAOQi provides tactical decisions, mission-level planning, and role allocation. Partner autopilots, ground stations, navigation, and communications systems handle vehicle execution.

A hardware-agnostic architecture organizes platform capabilities, mission roles, and defined interfaces into a shared coordination framework.

BABYLON Market connects inventory and component capabilities with team requirements. Formation, Kata and complementary roles guide the selection of lower-cost vehicles with lower individual performance requirements. Compare mission outcomes and configuration cost in ALAYA Wargame.

ALAYA Wargame evaluates tactical logic and team coordination. The resulting mission and role configurations guide partner-system integration and testing.

Human operators define mission objectives and constraints. BAOQi evaluates tactical options and allocates roles within the existing C2 and GCS structure.

Manufacturers can contribute vehicle capabilities, component specifications, and interface information for mission configuration and partner integration.

ALAYA Wargame provides a simulation environment for mission fleet validation, with mission configurations, role assignments, and coordination assessments for integration planning.

BAOQi delivers the tactical decision software layer. BABYLON configures mission teams from existing and partner-supplied assets; ALAYA evaluates how those teams coordinate in simulation.

ZERO is sold as a funded build program per unit, so first revenue does not wait for a platform qualification: the pilot runs on Taiwan’s national computing resources now, and an on-premise deployment for the funding unit is the next step. ALAYA and BABYLON follow as software licences inside the same unit. The path is pilot → funded build → annual licence, measured in months per unit rather than in a multi-year airframe program.

Three assets compound with every deployment and cannot be bought off the shelf: the Formation and Kata library generated by the Red–Blue AI Foundry inside ALAYA, the platform adapters accumulated from each partner integration, and the configuration and supply-chain data in BABYLON Market. A competitor can download the same open weights; it does not get the tactical knowledge, the Taiwan component data or the unit relationships that each funded build adds. ZERO also runs on Taiwan compute under the operating authority’s own policy, a position a foreign-hosted assistant cannot take.

Yes. Probability-guided search (mission 01), layered infrastructure protection (mission 03) and the Resilience Mapper demonstration apply directly to disaster response, coast guard and critical-infrastructure protection. Coordinating affordable mixed vehicles is the same problem in search and rescue, wildfire monitoring and port security, and the sovereign-model pattern behind ZERO applies to any organisation whose questions and data must not leave the country.

ZERO enters through research, training and planning use on the unit’s own servers, where the operating authority sets policy and no vehicle airworthiness certification is involved. ALAYA is simulation and planning software and BABYLON is a configuration tool; neither flies the vehicle, so partner autopilots carry the vehicle-level certification they already hold. Taiwan’s six-year unmanned-vehicle framework (NT$240 billion, third reading 27 August 2026) and the MOEA 2025–2030 programme set the procurement calendar; BAOQi enters through funded build programs and pilot projects with units and institutes rather than waiting for a full platform tender.

A paid, scoped pilot. One defined problem, run on your own scenario with your own staff, producing the unit’s baseline numbers (for example, time to restore a runway and sorties lost per hour), the wargame results and a requirements specification the unit keeps. When the pilot’s numbers hold up, the next step is deployment, followed by an annual licence.
