Roadmap
From the first release to what comes next.
Markhor / The path to 1.0
Built around the mission.
Markhor is being built in stages. This roadmap shows what is coming in 0.1, what we plan to add through beta, and the direction beyond 1.0. Flight is the starting point. A broader command and control platform is the ambition.

Beyond 1.0
A wider operating picture.
Beyond 1.0, we plan to connect future Lechuza sensors and AI detection systems to Markhor. The aim is to bring what they detect into the same view operators use to understand and direct the operation.
These capabilities are not part of the upcoming 0.1 beta. We will add specific milestones as the work develops.
