Sub-10MB Quantized Vision Architectures for Low-Compute Tactical Edge and Field Surveillance

Sub-10MB (9.42MB) quantized multi-task neural architectures using mixed INT8/INT4 quantization-aware training, second-order Hessian structured channel pruning, and temporal feature caching (TFC-Mem) delivering 42.4 FPS on sub-15W edge TPU/ARM nodes. Concurrently executes weapon detection, crowd surge dynamics (∇ · v), monocular DJ height infraction estimation, and sub-millisecond POI facial vector matching in denied field environments.

Dhava: Sovereign Offline-First Data Synchronization for Denied, Disrupted, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) Tactical Environments

An indigenous, open-source tactical synchronization engine designed from first principles for contested border outposts, forward operating bases (FOBs), autonomous unmanned systems (UxVs), and electronic warfare jamming zones. Replaces brittle client-server architectures with mathematical vector-clock causality, 5-tier P0-P4 priority queues, MessagePack + Zstandard binary wire framing (91% payload reduction), AES-256-GCM zero-trust envelopes, and physical air-gapped USB sneakernet failover.

Methodology

Core Tenets of Vinkura Systems Research

Every system architecture and model developed at Vinkura adheres to four institutional engineering standards:

01

Sovereignty & Offline-First

Zero reliance on external proprietary APIs or foreign cloud services. Full functionality on edge silicon and air-gapped bare-metal environments.

02

Mathematical Determinism

Vector clocks, CRDTs, and formal state machines ensure deterministic causal reconciliation across disconnected distributed nodes.

03

Tactical Durability

Designed and validated for extreme temperatures (-25°C to +45°C), high electromagnetic interference, and narrow-band satellite telemetry.

04

Cryptographic Provenance

Immutable SHA-256 Merkle trees, Ed25519 signing, and append-only audit ledgers provide court-admissible and regulatory-compliant records.

Collaborate with Vinkura Systems Labs

We partner with public sector organizations, research institutions, and defense wings for architecture reviews, pilot validation trials, and sovereign technology deployments.
