Autonomy
That Stays
Ahead
A modular autonomy platform built for real-world operations.

As contested environments become the norm, adversaries increasingly challenge positioning, sensing, and communications infrastructure. Autonomous systems must operate reliably, understand their environment, and execute missions with precision. Reliable autonomy is now an operational requirement.
Autonomy at the edge
Resilient Autonomy for
Contested Environments
Swan enables autonomous systems to operate, understand their environment, and execute missions in contested environments. Running directly on individual assets, it delivers navigation, sensing, mapping, and precision-targeting capabilities that can be fielded independently or together.
01
GNSS
DENIED
NAVIGATION
Autonomous navigation that enables systems to operate when GPS or GNSS signals are degraded, denied, or unavailable.
Maintains navigation continuity in contested electromagnetic environments.
Uses onboard sensing and autonomy instead of external positioning signals.
Reliable autonomy is now an operational requirement.
02
ISR AND
MAPPING
Environment understanding and map generation that enable autonomous systems to interpret their surroundings using onboard sensing.
Builds local maps from onboard sensor data.
Detects signals, objects and structures in the environment.
Creates navigation priors that support autonomous movement.
03
TARGETING
PRECISION
Precision targeting that enables autonomous systems to execute missions with precision using autonomy and environment understanding.
Supports precise aimpoint selection.
Accepts targeting inputs from multiple sources.
Enables precision effector guidance.
Our Team
We are led by a team of world-class autonomy engineers and mission-tested defense veterans.
