Spaice provides a GNSS‑independent Spatial AI platform that fuses onboard cognitive sensors to deliver drift‑free absolute positioning and geo‑referenced perception for autonomous aircraft, drones, and satellites. The plug‑and‑play software stack (SPAICE‑OS) enables real‑time navigation, planning, and control in RF‑denied, adverse weather, or lighting conditions, and adds space domain awareness and formation‑flying capabilities for orbital platforms.

Problem
Aircraft, drones, and satellites that depend on GNSS for positioning can lose accuracy or become inoperable in GNSS‑denied, jammed, or adverse environmental conditions. Without reliable external signals, autonomous vehicles lack persistent situational awareness and precise navigation in complex 3D spaces.
Solution
Spaice delivers a GNSS‑independent Spatial AI platform (SPAICE‑OS) that fuses onboard cognitive sensors to produce drift‑free absolute positioning and geo‑referenced intelligence. The system provides real‑time perception, planning, and control for both air and space vehicles, enabling autonomous navigation in RF‑denied, adverse weather, or lighting conditions. Integration is plug‑and‑play via MAVLink, allowing existing flight controllers to adopt the technology without hardware changes. For orbital platforms, the platform adds space domain awareness, debris detection, and autonomous formation‑flying relative navigation. By operating solely on onboard sensors, the solution remains resilient, silent, and independent of external infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are aerospace and defense organizations that develop autonomous aircraft, drones, and satellite constellations, especially those requiring operation in GNSS‑denied or contested environments.
