Echelon Mission Software

aid: saronic:echelon
name: Echelon Mission Software
description: 'Echelon is Saronic''s mission planning, simulation, and command-and-control

  platform for managing autonomous surface vessel fleets. It supports

  single-vessel and swarm deployments, integrates with Navy and joint C2

  systems, and exposes an open architecture for third-party payload and

  sensor integration. There is no public API; integrations are gated through

  Saronic partnerships and subject to U.S. export controls.
