Gotham is the operational layer, combining intelligence streams into a real-time battlefield picture and turning data into mission planning and execution. Apollo handles continuous software delivery for systems to be updated even in disconnected or remote environments.

Future iterations are expected to reach around 1,000 targets per hour.
