We build systems that turn computation into intelligence, perception, movement and control.
UKB-E1
Dual-core flight control with finned aluminum cooling.
UKB-G1
Dual-core flight control in a 3D-printed enclosure.
UKK-1
528 MHz flight-control hardware on a 45 × 45.9 mm board.
HL-01
USB Wi-Fi HaLow with an external SMA antenna connection.
Skynet
Off-grid network framework that operates across radio hardware without public infrastructure.
Cerebrum
An off-board autonomy stack and AI pilot that controls a vehicle through its flight controller from a companion computer.
Occipital
Real-time AI processing system that turns inference results into programmable external actions.
Kaptan
Next-gen bare-metal flight-controller firmware for mission critical systems that is free from resource bugs such as deadlocks, memory leaks and race conditions while aiming to be lighter and faster than its alternatives without compromising its rich feature set.
Kaptan Ground Suite
A collaborative mission-control environment for planning, commanding and supervising multi-vehicle operations through a shared operational picture for Kaptan.
