Problem
Modern combat platforms often operate in GPS‑denied and electronically contested environments where traditional navigation and communication systems become unreliable or unusable. This limits the ability to conduct precise, autonomous targeting and swarm operations, especially on platforms with strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints.
Solution
7RD delivers edge‑deployed vision AI that runs entirely on the host platform, requiring no cloud connectivity, GPS signals, or external communications. The onboard AI provides terminal guidance for precision‑strike drones, enabling accurate last‑mile targeting of high‑value assets in contested airspace. A forthcoming anti‑drone interceptor uses the same autonomous stack to detect and engage high‑speed aerial threats while integrating with existing air‑defence systems. All processing is performed within ultra‑low SWaP hardware, making the solution suitable for weight‑critical platforms and supporting swarm‑ready operations without reliance on external infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense contractors and military organizations that field unmanned aerial systems, precision‑strike drones, and air‑defence platforms requiring autonomous operation in GPS‑denied, electronically contested battlefields.
