V. filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN platform on May 20, 2026. The application covers a quantum-navigated amphibious remote-controlled autonomous ground vehicle designed for multi-domain defense operations across land and water in GPS-denied environments. The docket number is QDI-2026-QDAS-001.
The SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN is a 6x6 all-wheel in-hub electric amphibious platform that carries a 200 kg payload. It reaches 80 km/h on land and 6-8 km/h in water, with a mission range of up to 200 km. The hull uses 6061-T6 aluminum with UHMWPE belly armor and carries an IP68 rating for full amphibious operations without external jets or watercraft modifications.
The platform's Quantum Sensing Navigation Core uses a miniaturized quantum magnetometer and quantum inertial navigation unit mounted on an airborne sentinel UAV. The sentinel broadcasts a quantum-derived position reference to the ground vehicle via the Quantum Reference Beacon Protocol.
Navigation accuracy reaches below 10 meters RMS in fully GPS-denied environments. All data links employ post-quantum encryption standardized by NIST using CRYSTALS-Kyber. A Two-Sentinel Continuous Coverage System maintains uninterrupted navigation by keeping one sentinel UAV airborne while a second charges aboard the vehicle.
