Smarter Airspace Management for Critical Operations

SkyTL provides full situational awareness and human-on-the-loop mission coordination, designed to manage missions involving multiple autonomous vehicles and resources. From airspace surveillance to fully autonomous mission management, SkyTL leverages advanced autonomous coordination and predictive analytics within a flexible and modular design.

This ensures seamless integration across domains, making it a vital tool for multi-domain operations in contested environments. Engineered for deployment on the cloud or onboard high-altitude airborne systems, SkyTL integrates diverse mission-critical inputs and outputs, ensuring robust adaptability in contested or denied environments.

Architecture and Features

   SkyTL employs a layered architecture that emphasizes modularity, 

interoperability, and autonomy:

   Core Services

  • Platform-independent modules enabling broad mission applicability.

  • Includes communication, data fusion, and mission orchestration components.

Tactic-Specific Services

  • Domain-specific capabilities such as surveillance and reconnaissance, wildfire modeling, suppression coordination, and utility scoring.

  • Supports behaviors and mission "plays" tailored to each scenario.

Platform-Specific Services

  • Interfaces for integrating autopilots, radios, sensors, and other vehicle-specific systems.

  • Adapts to operate seamlessly across diverse platforms.

Autonomy Framework

  • Distributed consensus algorithms for coordinating swarms of vehicles.

  • Supports human-in-the-loop, on-the-loop, and off-the-loop operation modes.

Capabilities

Swarm Behavior

  • Autonomous and coordinated swarm operations for suppression and reconnaissance.

  • Dynamic replanning under adverse conditions, such as GPS degradation or sensor failure.

Open and Extendable Architecture

  • Supports third-party software and hardware integrations for mission-specific adaptability.

  • Modular design ensures upgradability and compatibility across diverse platforms.

Tiered Autonomy

  • Adaptable autonomy levels to optimize human-autonomy teaming, allowing operators to manage objectives rather than individual tasks.

Resilient Operations in Contested Environments

  • Maintains swarm effectiveness under bandwidth constraints and adversarial conditions.

  • Enables long-range operations with minimal human intervention.
