Enhancing Unmanned Systems with Autonomy

Bringing ISTAR capabilities to your unmanned systems

Artificial Intelligence

Our ISTAR Kit enables unmanned systems to autonomously execute Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions, giving the operators a hands-free experience.

Multiple users can interact with the system from different locations.
Only a single operator is required to manage multiple systems.
No more loss of Situational Awareness for the operator.
Reduced electromagnetic signature due to autonomous flight.
Fewer mistakes due to exhaustion or fatigue.

Introducing the ISTAR kit

Avalor

ISTAR KIT

Intelligent functions

Flexible user interaction

Our on-board AI module is capable of autonomously executing ISTAR missions, and is swarming-ready.

Deep integration with ATAK allows multiple users to interact with different systems in a swarm setup, without the need for proprietary control stations.

Integrate with any UAV

Realistic simulation & training

The ISTAR kit is made to be platform agnostic: it integrates on virtually any Mavlink-based systems with onboard processing power.

Develop new operational concepts, test and train in with digital twins of your systems in accurate virtual environments of familiar training grounds.

Delivering intelligent functions for true autonomy

Using onboard path planning the kit can execute high-level mission orders and adjust its plan realtime without operator interference.

Onboard image classification allows for target recognition in day and night environments.

Automatic target tracking ensures that a target remains in sight, unless told otherwise.

Target positions are automatically calculated to MGRS or WGS84 coordinates, and shared through ATAK.

The kit is able to keep track of the precision of a CFF, or assess the damage after a strike is performed. The results are automatically reported and shared over ATAK.

When configured in a (heterogenous) swarm, the kit comes with advanced features such as target scheduling to prevent loss of target with low battery levels.

Scalable system integration

The ISTAR Kit is built upon standardized architectures, enabling implementation on existing UAVs, with extensions to UGVs for future swarming concepts.

Multipoint control from any location

The ISTAR Kit integrates with ATAK for real-time spotting reports, CFFs (Call For Fires) and video feeds of targets. An additional lightweight user interface is provided for high-level mission inputs and interaction with the swarm, and to verify incoming spotting reports. Both ATAK and the Avalor Mission Interface can be deployed as a portable app, allowing control of multiple users from different locations for the same mission.

Simulator

Concept Development

We understand that integrating swarming in operational concepts is complex. We provide a feature-rich simulation environment that allows extensive concept development & experimentation. A variety of scenarios can be configured with the ability to include simulated (opposing) forces.

Operator Training

We provide a fully software-based training of the operators, to optimally prepare them for operations. There is no noticeable difference between actual and simulated missions, which includes ATAK and real-time video feeds in digital twins of familiar training grounds.

SPEAR

persistent operations powered by our ISTAR kit

With our partners we deliver Swarm-based Persistent Autonomous Reconnaissance (SPEAR), enabling intelligent, flexible, remote and autonomous operations for extended time. It ships with automated launch, recovery and battery swapping, to guarantee persistent operations. The onboard ISTAR kit is extended with airspace deconfliction and battery scheduling, to ensure safe, efficient and continuous operations.
