DX-Sky

DX-Sky is a product made up of a ground control system (GCS) for controlling and planning missions for multiple UAVs, onboard software for the aircraft, and flight data analysis. It also supports Sim-to-Real, applying AI tested in simulation to real aircraft as it is, in the same environment.

Mission prep, control and log analysis
in one environment

Managing control, mission planning and flight records separately for each aircraft makes operations and data review complicated. DX-Sky is a product for managing the registration, control and mission planning of multiple UAVs, along with their flight data, in a single operating system. The ground control system (GCS) handles aircraft status checks, mission planning, video monitoring and deployment management, while DX-Sky Drone handles communications, video, flight recording and AI inference on the aircraft.

※ The two software products are developed as a pair and work together, supporting PX4 and ArduPilot aircraft.

Integrated multi-aircraft operationsManage registration, control and mission assignment for multiple UAVs in a single environment

What Sets DX-Sky GCS Apart

AI detection on video from a simulated aircraft in DX-Sky GCS

Sim-to-Real: test in the same GCS, then apply to real aircraft as it is

Without switching to separate simulation software or deployment tools, test the AI model you developed on a simulated aircraft in the very GCS you use for real aircraft. Models that pass testing are deployed to real aircraft from the same GCS through an approval step. Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac Sim environments are supported, and you can upload the environment you want to test in it.

Managing multiple links and switching connection paths

Keep several links such as LTE and Wi-Fi connected at the same time and switch between them automatically according to link status. The GCS manages the individual links as one combined connection, so operators do not have to manage each link separately.

DX-Sky GCS AI model deployment screen

Deploy AI models to multiple aircraft in stages

Register and approve a model, then choose the target aircraft and rollout method. Staged deployment that tests one aircraft first and rollback to the previous version are supported.

DX-Sky GCS for controlling and operating multiple aircraft

A browser-based ground control system that provides aircraft registration and management, status monitoring, flight commands, mission planning, live video, deployment of settings, software and AI models, and flight record review.

DX-Sky Drone, the onboard software that runs on the aircraft

Installed on a Jetson-based onboard computer, it relays communications between the flight controller (FC) and the GCS, connects and switches between multiple links, streams video and captures images, records flights, forwards RTK corrections and runs AI inference onboard, with settings and updates applied remotely from the GCS.

DX-Sky AI for post-flight data analysis and quality inspection

Post-flight software that turns drone video and flight logs into analysis-ready data, providing capture positions for each frame, position anomaly detection and correction, data quality inspection, re-capture areas and object detection.

Mission-specific hardware for rapid field deployment

Using a foldable fixed-wing aircraft, a launch and deployment mechanism and mission sensor integration, we configure operating systems suited to field objectives such as surveillance, reconnaissance and fire response.
