Applications

The missions our autonomy is built for.

Each capability is a building block. Here they are in the context of the operations they support, in orbit and in the air.

Space

Close-range operations in orbit.

Servicing, refuelling, inspection and debris removal all depend on the final metres, where one spacecraft has to manoeuvre close to another object without colliding with it.

Air

UAVs working close to terrain, structures and each other.

Our next product is dedicated autonomy for UAVs, designed to keep the mission going when satellite navigation or the data link drops out.

Operations without reliable satellite navigation

Flying indoors, under cover or near large structures, where GNSS signals are weak, blocked or spoofed.

GNSS-denied navigation Obstacle avoidance

Tasks shared across several UAVs

Dividing a task between several aircraft that keep their spacing and adjust as conditions change.

Multi-vehicle coordination

Landing on moving or small platforms

Bringing a UAV down accurately on a ship, a vehicle or a small pad.

Precision landing

Defence and security

The same capabilities, for defence and security users.

In orbit

  • Inspecting and characterising objects in orbit
  • Supporting space domain awareness

In the air

  • Navigating when GNSS is jammed or spoofed
  • Coordinating operations across several UAVs
  • Continuing to operate when links are degraded
