Edge Autonomy in Contested Communications

Any BMS that assumes a reliable uplink is a peacetime BMS. The 21st-century battlespace is saturated with jamming, spoofing and cyber denial. Designing for the assumption of broken comms is not a feature — it is the architecture.

KhanBMS nodes carry the full doctrinal intent of their parent tier. When the link drops, an Arban continues the mission within pre-authorized rules of engagement. When the link returns, state reconciles upward via gossip protocols inspired by distributed ledger systems.

The result is a kill-web that fights through denial rather than around it.
