FIG 15 — WINDOW-MOUNTED NEST

[ RENDER PENDING — YELLOW JACKET concept ]

CODENAME

YELLOW JACKET

Window-mounted defensive drone nest. The building defends itself.

EMPLACEMENT

≤ 8 MIN

CREW

2 PAX

NEST CAPACITY

12 UAV

ENVELOPE

150 M R (TARGET)

APERTURE REQ.

≥ 600×400 MM

KINETICS

NONE

Yellow Jacket is a hardened nest case that emplaces inside a building, extends a launch shelf through an aperture that's already there, and holds a close-in defensive envelope over the structure. The crew stays under cover — nothing is bolted to the roof, and nothing about the position changes shape from the outside until the swarm is up.

Four Swarm Roles

RC-YJ-05 · NO ORDNANCE

CONCEPT · PRE-DECISIONAL

YJ-ROLE-1 DETECT · CUE

Picket

Passive RF and EO/IR watch above and around the structure. The crew is cued before the threat is audible.

YJ-ROLE-2 MASK · DENY

Screen

Obscurant and physical masking between threat and building. Terminal video lock never closes.

YJ-ROLE-3 PULL OFF

Decoy

RF and thermal false returns draw terminal guidance onto open ground.

YJ-ROLE-4 CAPTURE

Snare

Entanglement recovery for leakers. No warhead, no fragmentation.

The building defends itself.

Yellow Jacket moves the defensive envelope inside the structure the unit already occupies — emplaced by two people, in under ten minutes, without anyone stepping outside.
