Honey Badger Autonomy

Autonomy software stack

Sentinel's autonomy software split into perception, planning and safety layers that other airframes can carry.

Problem
Airframe makers can build the vehicle but rarely have GPS-denied navigation, autonomous planning and run-time safety monitoring in house.
Solution
Perception, planning and decision-making are separate modules, with a safety monitor between the autonomy software and the flight controller. Integration is done per airframe.

Key features

  • Perception: object detection and depth estimation
  • Planning: obstacle-avoiding paths, area search patterns
  • Decision: behavior-tree mission logic
  • Safety monitor: envelope, attitude and battery watched and enforced in real time
  • Simulation V&V: automated scenario flights and log analysis

Scope

  • Integration and testing are done per airframe under contract with the maker.

We are seeking airsoft and milsim teams, training organizations and public-sector field units to run pilots with us.
