| Policy | Scenario | Trained Episodes | Mean Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
defoneos-swarm-policy-v3 | Patrol / area-deny | 4.2M | 0.847 |
defoneos-intercept-policy-v2 | Intercept hostile UAS | 6.8M | 0.913 |
defoneos-escort-policy-v1 | VIP / convoy escort | 2.1M | 0.781 |
Friendly drones patrol grid; detect hostile UAS intrusion; intercept on positive ID.
5 friendlies swarm-engage 3 hostiles; multi-agent coordination via Mava IPPO.
Protect VIP / convoy; intercept any UAS that approaches within 200m radius.
Demo sites: Yorkshire, London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cardiff, Belfast.
Train on UK sovereign GCP (Cardiff region) or on-prem HMG Cat 3+.
Every action SIGIL-sealed. Every event routed through sovereign MCP.
