One stack, from photon to decision.

Four capability cores — CUSTOS, PRAETOR, IGNIS, ASTRUM — built as one system: sensing feeds estimation, estimation feeds autonomy, autonomy answers to one operator.

THE FOUR CORES
CUSTOS开发中

无人平台的自主核心。端侧感知、机上推理,在链路降级或被拒环境中保持韧性飞行——机队每架飞行器运行的守护进程。

类别自主 / 飞行
领域空中 · 沿海
链路耐降级
PRAETOR开发中

指挥控制层。从单一地面站完成机队任务分派、遥测汇聚与人在回路授权——一名操作员,多架飞行器。

类别指控 / 地面
跨度多机协同
授权人在回路
IGNIS概念阶段

面向航空与海事的清洁推进架构。混合电动与零排放动力,为续航而非噪声设计。

类别推进
循环混动 · 零排放
目标续航
ASTRUM研究阶段

感知层。围绕 SPAD 阵列构建的多光谱对地观测,配备自研标定流水线,为低照度端侧推理调优——光子稀缺的场景在机上读取,无论黄昏还是烟雾之中。

类别感知 / EO-IR

THE AUTONOMY LOOP
01 SENSE

ASTRUM multi-spectral sensing — SPAD arrays with in-house calibration, tuned for photon-starved scenes: dusk, smoke, moonless sectors. Inference happens on the aircraft, not in the cloud.

02 ESTIMATE

A navigation filter that earns its trust: optical flow, barometer and magnetometer carry the estimate through GNSS blackouts, and innovation gating rejects spoof-style jumps outright.

03 DECIDE

CUSTOS mission autonomy — patrol, detect, divert, orbit, resume. Contacts are confirmed and geolocated without a human in the loop; authority stays with the operator.

04 ACT

A cascade flight controller that flies on the estimate, not on hope — the same control law runs in the engineering simulator and on the aircraft.

VALIDATED IN SIMULATION, ENFORCED IN CI

Every claim on this site traces to the engineering simulation suite in the programme repository — a 6-DOF physics model of the NIGHTJAR flying the same autonomy stack. The suite runs on every commit, across seeded randomised conditions, and the build fails if the aircraft stops meeting its numbers.

IGNITION → ALERT
< 40 s, validated across seeds
GNSS BLACKOUT
0.78 m peak error over 20 s coasting
GEOLOCATION
