Mulga is an Australian–American defense technology startup creating a new class of tactical cloud infrastructure.
We design and build AI-powered, sovereign systems that bring hyperscale performance and resilience to the battlefield — even when cut off from centralized networks.
Our flagship platform, Mulga OS, fuses compute, storage, and secure networking into a self-healing tactical cloud for contested environments.
Developed and engineered across Australia and the United States, it delivers mission-assured communications, distributed AI, and post-quantum security at the edge.
Mulga is a binational defense innovator advancing sovereign capability for Australia, the United States, and our allies.
We are a team of engineers and technologists building infrastructure that endures — systems designed to survive interference, disconnection, and uncertainty.
Operating between Sydney and the US, our team combines expertise in distributed systems, networking, and embedded AI.
We collaborate with trusted partners across government, defence, and industry to ensure interoperability, security, and long-term sustainment.
At Mulga, sovereignty and alliance go hand in hand — technology built at home, designed to work with those who stand beside us.
Mulga OS is a sovereign operating system that delivers complete cloud capability at the tactical edge — compute, block and object storage, and secure networking in one integrated stack.
Built around Data Processing Units (DPUs), Mulga OS offloads encryption, routing, and traffic management from the CPU to dedicated silicon.
This architecture creates a deterministic, low-latency, and self-healing network fabric capable of surviving the most hostile conditions.
- Adaptive Multi-Path Networking — Dynamic rerouting across fibre, 4G/5G, SATCOM, SDR, or HF radio using Open vSwitch, FRR iBGP/EVPN, and IPsec + MOBIKE.
- Quantum-Resilient Security — ML-KEM-1024 (Kyber) post-quantum encryption integrated directly into DPU crypto engines.
- Edge AI and Data Fusion — Local compute for C4ISR workloads and sensor fusion — acoustic, electromagnetic, and visual — for rapid situational awareness.
- AWS-Compatible APIs — Seamless deployment and management of applications across disconnected and coalition networks.
The Hive platform integrates Mulga OS into ruggedised hardware — from Hive Sentry Towers to man-portable edge kits — bringing mesh networking, edge AI, and sensor integration to the field.
Hive creates a cohesive intelligence network, enabling autonomous coordination, threat detection, and decision-making under fire.
Modern defence requires more than power — it demands persistence. When satellites jam, networks fail, or clouds go dark, forces still need to think, communicate, and act.
Mulga ensures that capability endures.
By combining sovereign manufacturing, AI-driven autonomy, and secure, adaptive networking, we provide the foundation for trusted, mission-ready infrastructure that never depends on a single link.
Mulga’s technology is jointly developed and assembled in Australia and the US, with software engineering, hardware integration, and manufacturing performed across trusted facilities in both nations.
Our supply chain strategy strengthens allied resilience and ensures interoperability while maintaining strict sovereignty over critical systems and IP.
This binational approach enables rapid development, secure sustainment, and scalable manufacturing, aligned with the strategic goals of Australia, the United States, and our partners.
We’re building the future of defense infrastructure — and we’re just getting started.
At Mulga, you’ll design and deploy technology that operates where others can’t: on the ground, in the field, and at the edge of the network.
If you want to work on systems that truly matter, join a mission that combines engineering excellence with national purpose.
