Tycho.AI develops scalable autonomy solutions that empower UAVs and unmanned systems with advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and tactical decision-making capabilities for contested environments.
Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) is pleased to announce the addition of Tycho.AI to our global supplier ecosystem. Their Silver supplier profile highlights innovative autonomy technologies designed to enable UAVs and robotic systems to operate reliably in GPS-denied and communications-degraded environments.
Led by a founder who runs the autonomy lab at MIT, Tycho.AI combines academic expertise, engineering excellence, industry knowledge, and military operational experience to deliver cutting-edge autonomy solutions for defense and tactical missions. The company’s technologies are designed for OEMs, platform developers, and systems integrators seeking proven autonomy capabilities for the most demanding operational scenarios.
Key products and capabilities from Tycho.AI include:
Voyager AI-Powered Autonomy Stack – A compact low-SWaP hardware and software system providing advanced edge autonomy for drones, robotic platforms, and counter-UAS systems operating in contested environments.
GNSS-Denied Navigation – Combines visual inertial odometry (VIO) and satellite image matching to deliver ultra-precise navigation and obstacle avoidance without relying on GPS/GNSS or continuous communications links.
High-Speed Autonomous Maneuvers – Enables reliable low-altitude flight, rapid trajectory generation, and threat evasion at speeds up to 200 mph and altitudes as low as 25 ft AGL.
Precision Sensor Fusion – Advanced monocular and stereo camera integration with IMU data provides <1% drift error for dependable navigation in challenging operational conditions.
Mission Versatility – Supports ISR, loitering munitions, mission planning, terrain mapping, drone swarming, and counter-UAS interception missions.
Halley VTOL sUAS – A 3D-printed Group 1 tailsitter UAV offering rapid deployment, modular payload integration, field-repairable components, and optional Voyager autonomy integration.
Voyager’s onboard processing architecture provides true edge autonomy, enabling unmanned systems to continue operating even when communications links are disrupted or denied. Designed for flexible integration into virtually any platform, the technology can serve as either a primary autonomy solution or a resilient backup PNT capability during mission-critical operations.
The Halley platform expands Tycho.AI’s offerings with a rapidly deployable VTOL sUAS platform optimized for ISR, strike operations, counter-UAS interception, and swarm applications. With tool-free assembly, customizable payload configurations, and field-ready repairability, Halley is designed to support agile tactical operations in dynamic environments.
