The record as it is written.

Navigation, autonomy, and flight test. No press releases — engineering entries.

Wildfire patrol: ignition to alert in under 40 seconds

Three ignitions lit mid-mission during a repeating patrol of the survey area. All three were autonomously detected, confirmed, and orbit-refined — latencies of 0.4, 24, and 40 s from ignition, geolocated to within 0.14 m. Full stack, controller on the estimate throughout.

Coasting a 20-second GNSS blackout

NIGHTJAR held 0.78 m peak error on optical flow, baro, and magnetometer alone through a jammed mid-mission window. Innovation gating rejected the spoof-style jumps outright.

2026.05 · AUTONOMY

Divert-and-orbit with no human in the loop

CUSTOS confirmed three ground contacts and autonomously flew a sensor-on orbit around each to tighten geolocation below 0.31 m CEP, then resumed the search.

2026.04 · FLIGHT TEST

Landing on altitude, not velocity

Optical flow drops out below 0.3 m AGL, so the land detector now keys on altitude alone — ending the contact-bounce seen in earlier sorties.

ORIGIN · HERITAGE

Loiter, maneuver, return — before it was code

Before any of this was an autonomy stack, there was a sun conure on the Red Sea shore at Suez. It would launch, work its own arcs over the water, and come back to hand — loiter, maneuver, return, flown on instinct. SIDRA is that instinct, engineered. Callsign: ARATINGA.
