PATENT-PENDING · UNCLASSIFIED / FOUO OVERVIEW

Deployment infrastructure for a contested world.

Cretus Innovations builds low-cost, high-volume launch systems — from container-deployed autonomous missile swarms to air-launched orbital insertion — engineered for rapid mobilization and mass production.

Capabilities Overview

Two launch problems. One deployment architecture.

Cretus designs around the same core insight: standard ISO shipping containers and conventional transport can host launch infrastructure that used to require fixed, expensive sites. That applies equally to distributed fires and to orbital access.

Logistics & Scale

Affordable at scale. Deployable anywhere conventional transport reaches.

The logistical unlock is as important as the missile itself: Bee-MX is built around the intermodal shipping system that already moves global cargo, and a parts-minimized design that makes mass production — not boutique manufacturing — the default.

Transport
Standard ISO Container
Ships, arms, and launches from an unmodified 40-ft container — moved by the same truck, rail, and sea network already carrying global cargo. No dedicated launch pad, crew emplacement, or site preparation.
Unit Economics
<$200K at Volume
A parts-minimized design with a shared central fuel tube keeps control complexity low — a structural cost advantage engineered for mass production, not an incremental discount on a boutique build.
Mobilization
36 Units, <60 Seconds
A full container's complement mobilizes and fires in under a minute — turning any point conventional transport can reach into a temporary launch site.

Program 02

Bee-SL — Air-Launched Orbital Access

Extending the same container-and-conventional-transport philosophy to space access: a high-altitude, air-launched capability for placing small satellites into orbit without fixed launch-pad dependence.

CONCEPT / EARLY DEVELOPMENT
  • Shares design lineage with Bee-MX propulsion and control architecture
  • Mobile carrier aircraft replaces fixed launch-pad infrastructure
