Mulga provides a shared, on-prem execution layer where multiple mission applications can run side-by-side on the same edge hardware—even in disconnected or contested environments.
We standardize execution, not missions.
Modern conflict breaks systems by breaking their dependencies.
Mulga exists to ensure that identity, permissions, and execution remain local—so software continues to run when links are jammed, networks fail, or reach-back is denied.
Authority stays with the node. Execution stays with the unit.
Mulga is a team of operators and engineers building infrastructure for environments where failure is not an option.
We design execution systems that survive interference, disconnection, and uncertainty—without relying on centralized control planes or fragile reach-back.
Our focus is not features or platforms, but primitives: identity, isolation, execution, and control—done locally, done right.
Mulga OS is a local-first execution layer for defense software.
It enables multiple mission applications to run together on shared edge hardware with strict isolation and explicit, auditable data-sharing policies. Mulga supports AWS-compatible APIs and abstractions—allowing teams to build against familiar EC2-, VPC-, S3-, and EBS-like patterns—while keeping identity, permissions, and execution fully local.
This allows cloud-native mission software to run on bare metal at the edge, in private environments, or in disconnected and contested conditions where cloud control is not an option.
Runs on standard Linux and rugged edge hardware
Operates fully disconnected, indefinitely
Enforces default-deny isolation between workloads
AWS-API aligned, without cloud-rooted authority
Avoids centralized control planes and bespoke edge stacks
Mulga OS is not a mission system, C2 platform, or workflow engine. It enables those systems to survive.
Most edge AI deployments fail under real operational conditions.
They rely on bespoke stacks, fragile integrations, or cloud-rooted control that breaks when the link does.
Mulga treats AI/ML models as modular mission workloads, not special projects.
This allows teams to:
Field new models without system re-integration
Test and iterate models in place
Hot-swap or roll back models without touching hardware or the OS
Precisely control where models execute at runtime
Run AI directly on operator-owned hardware using AWS-compatible APIs and SDKs, without cloud dependency
AI workloads operate under the same local control, isolation, and guardrails as every other mission workload—whether deployed to a field node, a private site, or a disconnected environment.
Field, test, and iterate at wartime speed.
Modern operations demand persistence—not just power.
When satellites jam, networks fracture, or cloud access disappears, forces still need to sense, decide, and act.
Mulga ensures execution survives those conditions by removing external authority from the critical path.
Disconnection is not a failure state. It’s an operating condition.

Mulga is built for environments where assumptions fail: no guaranteed connectivity, no trusted central authority, and no time for bespoke re-integration.
It provides a self-contained execution layer that can run on operator-owned hardware—at the tactical edge, in private facilities, or anywhere centralized cloud services are unavailable or unreliable. Mission software can be developed or integrated using familiar AWS aligned API’s and SDK’s, then deployed locally with full control—operating offline indefinitely without external dependency.
No guaranteed connectivity
No cloud-rooted control plane
No bespoke hardware or re-integration tax
Scales across hardware, vendors, and missions
Avoids platform lock-in and control-plane fragility
We're Building the Future of Defense Infrastructure — and We're Just Getting Started
Mulga is building core execution infrastructure for environments where failure isn’t an option—on the ground, in the field, and at the edge.
If you want to work on systems that stay up when everything else fails—and matter in real operations — join us.
Mulga is not a cloud service, cloud extension, or AWS-managed edge offering.
Mulga is a local-first execution layer that supports AWS-compatible APIs and development models, allowing mission software built for the cloud to run on operator-owned hardware at the tactical edge—without inheriting cloud-rooted authority or dependency.
Developers can build against familiar AWS-style abstractions for compute, networking, and storage, then deploy that software onto Mulga on bare metal or rugged edge systems. Identity, permissions, and execution are enforced locally, not by AWS.
AWS is treated as an interface and tooling ecosystem, not a control plane. Mulga does not require AWS IAM, STS, persistent connectivity, or cloud-rooted orchestration.
When connectivity is available, cloud services can support development and analytics. When it isn't, Mulga continues to operate indefinitely.
Mulga is AWS-compatible, not AWS-dependent.
Mission platforms provide C2, data fusion, workflows, and operator interfaces.
Mulga does not.
Mulga sits below mission platforms as a local-first execution layer. It provides an on-prem, cloud-like runtime you own and control—running on operator hardware and exposed through AWS-compatible APIs and SDKs—without cloud dependant control planes.
Mission platforms and applications run on Mulga, side by side, isolated by default. Mulga handles execution, resource control, and survivability so platforms can focus on mission logic and operators.
Mission platforms own mission logic.
Mulga owns execution survivability.
No. Mulga is infrastructure only. It does not own mission data, provide C2 workflows, or present operator interfaces—those remain with mission platforms.
Mulga provides a local-first execution layer that exposes AWS-compatible interfaces for compute, storage, and networking, allowing mission systems to run on operator-owned hardware without cloud dependency. Identity, permissions, and execution are enforced locally on the node, not by any external authority.
Central systems may inform with updates or analytics when connected, but they can never gate execution or revoke control.
Local decides. Central informs.
Nothing stops.
Mulga is designed to treat disconnection as an operational condition, not a failure state. Identity, permissions, and execution continue to function indefinitely without reach-back.
Losing the link removes dependency—it does not remove capability.
Mulga OS runs on standard Linux-capable rugged edge hardware, including x86 and ARM systems. There is no proprietary appliance requirement.
Mulga is hardware-agnostic and deploys across a wide range of edge platforms.
For fast evaluation and fielding, Mulga will offer three fully optional, pre-integrated reference edge nodes—Lite, Standard, and Heavy—designed for trials, exercises, and rapid deployment. These systems are interchangeable with customer-selected hardware.
Mulga also maintains a Validated Hardware List of tested platforms and recommended vendors.
Mulga standardizes execution—not hardware.
As many as your mission requires.
Mulga supports everything from single-node tactical deployments to distributed multi-node formations. Each node operates independently and remains locally authoritative—there is no requirement for a central cluster to maintain execution.
For missions that require resilience and fault tolerance, Mulga is typically deployed across multiple nodes so execution continues even if a system is lost. A small group of nodes can provide redundancy without introducing a single point of failure.
Architecture scales with mission needs, not with centralized control.
Yes.
Mulga is designed to break the hardware–software stovepipe. Mission software can be deployed across diverse hardware fleets without re-integration or platform-specific rewrites.
Vendors integrate once and run wherever Mulga runs.
Many programs stall because the infrastructure required for real deployment is fragile, bespoke, or non-repeatable.
Mulga provides a pre-built, secure, and standardized execution layer, allowing teams to focus on mission logic instead of infrastructure plumbing.
This reduces integration risk and shortens the path from prototype to fielded system.
Mulga aligns with distributed and coalition architectures by standardizing execution without forcing convergence.
It does not replace existing systems. It allows them to run together—reliably—under contested conditions.
