Rapid Software Deployment in Disconnected Environments

This paper addresses deploying software in military environments with limited or no connectivity. With modern warfare's dependence on software, internet connectivity becomes a vulnerability. We focus on solutions for military personnel operating in airgapped environments without IT support.

• Tactical Edge Deployment: Enables offline software deployment on small devices with an intuitive interface for use during flight, vehicle operations, or drone missions.
• Modular, Standards-Based Architecture: Updates use Kubernetes, Zarf, and OCI-compliant standards as self-contained units, ensuring flexibility across battlefield environments.

This technology helps maintain operational superiority in cyber-contested environments, where rapid software updates can determine whether weapon systems remain combat-ready.
