Onboard processing
Bring sensor processing into the aircraft’s computing environment. Develop the perception layer alongside the hardware that carries it.
ACT-1
Perception on the aircraft.
Onboard compute and custom perception models, developed around the aircraft and its sensor suite.

01 / PURPOSE
Understand more. Process onboard.
ACT-1 brings computing and perception into the aircraft. Its development connects object recognition with a broader understanding of the surrounding environment, using models adapted to the platform’s sensors.
Initial work focuses on interceptor drones. We develop with aircraft partners so that hardware, perception models, and integration are considered together. These capabilities are being developed and evaluated.
02 / CAPABILITY FOCUS
Designed around the task.
Object understanding
Recognize object classes and examine visible characteristics. Connect an observation with context from the surrounding scene.
Aircraft-specific integration
Adapt compute and custom models to the aircraft and its sensor suite, with partner testing informing each development step.
Developed with the aircraft.
An integration program connects the platform, its sensors, and the way its observations will be used.
- 01
Understand the platform
Review the partner’s aircraft, computing environment, and sensor inputs to define the integration work.
- 02
Develop the perception layer
Bring custom models and onboard processing into the platform’s development workflow.
- 03
Test and refine
Use collected observations and partner feedback to evaluate the implementation and guide the next iteration.
In development
Development includes consideration of civilian-risk awareness. Capability and performance remain subject to testing and validation.
