A proprietary six-tier IP asset, deployable across multiple domains.
MP-CET+ · FIELD MAINTENANCE INTERFACE
Turning legacy tools
into mission-ready platforms.
MP-CET+ transforms legacy adjustable wrenches into mission-adaptable UAS/drone support tools — patent-pending, MOSA-aligned, and built to extract untapped value from assets already in the field.
The fleet refreshes every cycle.The tool inventory only grows.
Small UAS are now procured across many vendors on short refresh cycles, with airframes entering and leaving the inventory continuously. Every platform that arrives brings its own driver set, its own mount hardware, and its own service kit.
The airframes are designed to be replaced. The tool inventory behind them was not — it only accumulates, carrying a catalog line, a certification track, and a resupply chain for every vendor ever onboarded.
Instead of adding another single-purpose tool to an already-strained supply chain, MP-CET+ extracts untapped value from equipment that is already in the field — cutting logistics burden while giving operators more capability from what they already carry.
Asymmetric, Urban, Remote
Asymmetric warfare, urban combat, and remote operations demand tooling that is lightweight, multi-functional, and rapidly deployable — conditions a fixed tool roll was never designed for.
Reduced Soldier Load
Reducing carried load is a standing priority. Army and Special Operations units actively seek innovations that consolidate multiple tools into a single compact solution.
Dual-Use Capability
Growing emphasis on dual-use technology, where the same equipment adapts from combat tasks to disaster relief, humanitarian assistance, and expeditionary engineering.
One interface.
Every head.
MP-CET+ is a patent-pending core system engineered to integrate with existing adjustable wrenches — no new tool, no new training, no added weight in the pack. One core, multiple mission-specific configurations, built to adapt on demand for UAS and drone maintenance and field support.
Weight reduction
40–60%*

Adjustable Wrench Interface
Integrates with existing adjustable wrenches
The core of the system is the wrench already in the inventory. Every head seats to a common interface — no proprietary handle, no new tool to issue.
Breaching Hatchet Head
Cutting edge · pry notch · lanyard ports
Clearing, breaching, and expedient field work without carrying a dedicated axe.
Engineer Hammer Head
Striking face · claw · nail slot
Driving, pulling, and demolition tasks on the same handle that just torqued a fastener.
1/4 in. Drive Ratchet Head
1/4 in. square drive · reversible
Fine fastener work in confined spaces — avionics bays, comms gear, weapons groups.
3/8 in. Drive Ratchet Head
3/8 in. square drive · reversible
The workhorse drive for vehicle and airframe maintenance at the point of failure.
Additional Heads
In development
The interface is the product. New mission profiles are added as heads, not as new tools.
One core.Multiple mission configurations.
Value extracted from equipment already in the field, rather than another single-purpose tool added to the supply chain.
Legacy Asset Optimization
Retrofits existing adjustable wrench inventories rather than replacing them, cutting new-equipment procurement cost.
Mission-Adaptive Reconfiguration
A single core adapts across UAS and drone-specific tasks in the field, reducing tool proliferation and pack-out weight.
Reduced Logistics Burden
Fewer discrete tools to source, stock, and sustain across the supply chain.
MOSA Alignment
A Modular Open Systems Approach supports interoperability and rapid field-level reconfiguration without depot-level intervention.
Warfighter-Centered Design
Engineered for maintainer speed and reliability under expeditionary conditions.
Patent-Pending Core
Proprietary multi-utility architecture with dual-use commercial and defense applicability.
The metrics a program office is measured against
MP-CET+ is not evaluated on cleverness. It is evaluated on the readouts that already sit on a Combat Support acquisition brief. None of the figures below is claimed as a measured result — each states the metric the architecture is intended to move.
Compresses repair time
One head swap on a common shaft is designed to cut the time a maintainer spends locating and changing tools between platform types.
INTENDED — FLEET-WIDE MTTR ↓
Consolidates the tool catalog
Every vendor-specific tool set carries its own catalog line and resupply chain. A common core assembly with interchangeable heads is intended to collapse complete tool sets into fewer entries. Head modules carry their own line items — the consolidation is of tool sets, not of every part number.
PROGRAM HYPOTHESIS — CROSSWALK PENDING
Absorbs a shifting vendor mix
A vendor-agnostic collar is intended to make onboarding a new airframe a matter of a new head module rather than a new tool kit and a new training cycle.
DESIGNED FOR CROSS-VENDOR USE
Shortens certification
One core assembly means one proficiency check on the interface itself rather than one per vendor tool set. Platform- and module-specific approvals are unaffected.
INTENDED — INTERFACE CERT TIME ↓
Aligns with edge-repair doctrine
As field-level repair displaces depot return, an adapter architecture extends toward servicing at the tactical edge rather than being locked to today's maintenance posture.
FUTURE-ALIGNED
MTTR, catalog count, training time, and interoperability are four readouts of the same underlying consolidation. Each is stated as a metric a program office would test — none as a result already achieved.
Built for multi-domain combat logistics
Multi-Domain Operations put the same maintainer across land, air, sea, and urban environments in a single deployment. An adapter architecture is designed to travel between them without a change of tool kit — and the same consolidation that serves a combat zone serves a humanitarian or disaster-relief mission.
LAND
Armor and Ground Mobility
Combat logistics battalions sustain tracked and wheeled fleets forward of the maintenance bay. The MP-CET+ puts hatchet, hammer, and both ratchet drives on the handle a mechanic already carries.
AIR
Rotary and Fixed Wing
Flight-line maintenance rewards small kits and fast configuration changes. One handle, four heads, and the fastener sizes that matter — with less to account for and less to drop.
SEA
Surface and Shore
Seabees and shipboard maintainers operate where resupply is slow and stowage is measured in inches. Modularity is not a convenience at sea; it is a storage strategy.
What a forward maintenance point carries today, and after
Current — vendor-specific tool sprawl
- Airframe-specific driver sets, one per vendor
- Mount and torque kits per platform
- Payload module release tools
- C-UAS interceptor service kits
- Rotor and arm driver rolls
- Connector and harness tool sets
A separate catalog line, certification track, and resupply chain behind each.
MP-CET+ — single adapter platform
- Common shaft with tool-free ring lock
- Head module — airframe family
- Head module — payload release
- Head module — C-UAS servicing
- Head module — connector and harness
One core assembly, one interface to certify, head modules added as the fleet changes.

A compatibility layer underneath the program
Structured as a low-risk addition to current acquisition activity — not a competing platform.
From concept to field validation
Interface Validation
Hands-on evaluation of the coupling interface against real maintenance task lists, with the maintainers who would use it.
Representative Fleet Trials
Servicing trials across a representative mix of airframes, mounts, and payloads drawn from a live vendor mix.
Acquisition Integration
Catalog crosswalk, qualification boundary definition, and integration against a named program of record.
This is a proposed path. Current validation status is not published on this page.
