02 / Modules

Planning, navigation and mission operations.

Four products connect the mission workflow: Nav Planner, RECONN.EARTH, TrackFusion and OspreyVMS. Payload integration, combined mission deployment and collective coordination have distinct development stages.

MODULE 01 · L1 · ON THE AIRCRAFTArchitecture

TrackFusion

Inertial navigation is primary, with compass heading assistance. Radar terrain matching corrects drift and thermal scene matching cross-verifies the position.

  • Radar terrain matching — drift correction
  • Thermal scene matching — position cross-check
  • FPGA payload architecture — host retains flight control

RECONN.EARTH

Reference imagery preparation with SAR-to-optical and optical-to-thermal conversion, tiling and caching for onboard navigation.

  • SAR-to-optical and optical-to-thermal conversion
  • One-shot small-object detection
  • Cloud, on-premise or air-gapped

MODULE 05 · BEFORE FLIGHTDesktop planner

Nav Planner

Select a destination and waypoints, calculate and review the route, then export the flight plan. Reference packaging and onboard loading complete the planned Shoal-OS integration.

  • Route planning and review with terrain and mission constraints
  • QGroundControl .plan import and export
  • Mission and imagery deployment — planned integration

MODULE 04 · L3 · ACROSS THE GROUPTo build

Collective Layer

Planned: one navigator provides a shared position reference. Group members exchange ranging and capability data to coordinate their tasks.

  • Navigation payload carried once per group
  • Heterogeneous groups — lift, sensing, navigation split
  • Underwater extension with sonar, planned
