Summary
- Akvylon begins pilot production of the AI-based Skif onboard computer.
- Skif computer offers resistance to electronic warfare and autonomous operation.
- The compact unit weighs under 200 grams and achieves 90% localization.
Akvylon Research and Production Enterprise, a resident of the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CUST), has initiated pilot-series production of its advanced AI-based Skif onboard computer complex. This innovative system is engineered for integration into autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other robotic platforms, including ground and offshore units.
The Skif system is designed to manage control, communications, navigation, and video stream processing. Its advanced neural network algorithms are pivotal for tasks such as detection, tracking, and segmentation of targets. Notably, a single Skif unit weighs less than 200 grams and consolidates the functionalities of a single-board computer, flight controller, AI board, and interface board.
Key tactical advantages cited for the Skif system include robust resistance to electronic warfare, autonomous operation independent of external communication links, redundant navigation capabilities, and exceptional energy efficiency. Akvylon's production also significantly contributes to import substitution of critical electronic components, boasting a localization level of up to 90% for its manufactured products.
