## About SkyPulse

### Mission-critical avionics for uncrewed systems.

SkyPulse develops a platform-agnostic, mission-first hardware and software ecosystem enabling complete operational autonomy for unmanned systems across aerial, ground, and maritime domains. Built to bridge the gap between high-performance edge compute, low SWaP-C design, and mission-critical reliability, SkyPulse delivers an NDAA-compliant avionics and software stack engineered for complex, performance-critical environments.<br>

### The Helios stack

**SkyPulse Helios** is an integrated avionics and compute stack engineered for next-generation unmanned systems.

At its core, the Helios features a high performance, sensor redundant flight controller paired with an onboard companion computer capable of executing advanced algorithms such as: **Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO**), **SLAM**, **Automatic target recognition (ATR), adaptive feature detection, automatic calibration, interception** and **obstable avoidance.**

Built with a **low SWaP-C** profile and **full NDAA compliance**, Helios delivers enterprise-grade capability while maintaining a compact footprint.&#x20;

With native support for **ArduPilot** and **PX4**, integration is easy and plug & play, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing vehicles, ground control stations and software suites.

**Already got your Helios? Follow the** [**integration guide**](/documentation/technical-specifications/quickstart.md) **to get it up and running in no-time.**
