AI That Operates Where Failure Is Not an Option
Mission-critical embedded ML for defence systems and autonomous UAVs.
The Challenge
Defence and UAV platforms operate under extreme constraints: limited compute, power, and thermal budgets, often with intermittent or zero connectivity. Perception and decision-making must happen on-device, in real-time, with deterministic latency.
These systems demand not just performance, but verifiable, reproducible behavior. A system that "usually works" is unacceptable.
Key Requirements
Deterministic Performance
Predictable latency and throughput under all conditions.
Power & Thermal Constraints
Battery-operated platforms with strict thermal envelopes.
Security & Tamper Resistance
Secure boot, encrypted models, tamper detection.
Intermittent Connectivity
Offline-first inference with optional cloud sync.
Our Approach
Hardware-First Design
We start with your silicon: CPU, DSP, NPU, memory architecture. Models are optimized for your specific target, not generic cloud assumptions.
Deterministic Latency
RTOS integration, priority-based scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis. We measure and guarantee timing under worst-case conditions.
Verification & Testing
Reproducible builds, test vectors, stress testing. We validate performance, accuracy, and correctness before deployment.
Secure Deployment
Secure boot, model encryption, OTA updates with rollback. Security is not an afterthought.
