Terminus

Rapid underground emplacement of critical assets

Terminus is a truck-mounted boring platform that drives ready-built hardened modules into undisturbed ground, emplacing a protective position under earth cover with no open excavation.

How it works

01

Deploys by road

A single 49 ft road-legal trailer, towed by a heavy truck, carries the launch system. A second vehicle carries the assets and the collapsible steel-mesh cages that form the walls of the protected space.

02

Jacks into undisturbed earth

The launch bed raises and frame-jacks the first cage into the ground. No trench to open or backfill, and a minimal surface signature throughout.

03

Advances cage by cage

Each foldable cage is jacked in behind the last, extending the protected space for as long as the mission requires.

04

Runs autonomously

The full excavation cycle runs autonomously under remote human supervision.
