A new standard for flight safety

BabAI
The seat belt for drones

The sky is filling with unmanned aircraft. BabAI keeps each one clear of the others, so every flight ends where it was meant to.

Talk to us → How it works
01 — Why we exist

We protect drones where flying is hardest

Signals fail, the weather turns, the airspace gets crowded. In those moments an aircraft has to look after itself. With BabAI aboard, drones are smart enough to survive.

Crowded skies

More aircraft share the same air every year.

Lost signals

GNSS and radio links fail when they are needed most.

No second chance

One collision ends a mission, and sometimes more.

02 — How it works

Sees. Predicts. Steers clear.

01

Sees

BabAI notices other aircraft and obstacles around the drone, in real time.

02

Predicts

It works out where everything is heading, and where a collision could happen.

03

Steers clear

It moves the drone out of danger on its own, then hands control back.

Software only. It runs next to the flight controller of the drone you already fly.

03 — Where it matters

Wherever losing an aircraft costs more than the aircraft

Core fit

Medical air ambulance

GPS spoofing, a bird strike or an airspace conflict while carrying organs, blood or plasma means the patient does not receive it. BabAI makes sure the platform arrives.

Core fit

Disaster medicine

Flood zones, earthquake debris, chemical perimeters. GPS is gone and smoke blinds sensors. BabAI keeps the aircraft flying as they fail one by one.

Core fit

Wildfire and emergency response

Smoke, heat and rescue helicopters sharing the same air. BabAI keeps the aircraft clear when the pilot can no longer see.

Core fit

Search and rescue

Mountain terrain, collapsed structures, no GPS. A crashed SAR drone means a person is not found. BabAI prevents the crash with no network or satellite required.

Core fit

Anti-poaching and nature surveillance

The platform can be jammed or intercepted. BabAI detects the attack, reroutes and seals all collected evidence in an encrypted, timestamped package.

Roadmap

Microsatellite health monitoring and debris awareness

Radiation degrades onboard sensors over months, and trusted onboard data is essential for debris conjunction analysis. BabAI health monitoring applies today; full orbital evasion is on our roadmap.

Simulation: satellite collision avoidance
Core fit

Nuclear facility inspection

Radiation degrades every sensor faster than any other environment. Conventional collision avoidance struggles here; BabAI is built for it.

Core fit

Mine and tunnel inspection

No GPS, gas and dust blinding sensors, narrow passages. A lost inspection platform in a mine is a total loss, and this is the most demanding environment there is.

Also applicable
CBRN robots Railway infrastructure inspection
Core fit

Autonomous passenger ferries

Passengers aboard means the highest safety obligation. Autonomous ferries already operate in Norway and Finland. BabAI is the protection layer regulators are moving to require.

Core fit

Port operations and autonomous tugboats

Dense interference from port radar, moving vessels and cranes, and GPS multipath from metal structures. BabAI keeps the platform's integrity where no single sensor can be trusted alone.

Also applicable
Maritime search and rescue

Subsea cable and pipeline inspection

Vehicles work with no GPS, far from recovery. Onboard health monitoring is the only protection when the platform is entirely on its own.

Offshore wind foundation inspection

Cables, anodes and marine growth make a complex obstacle field. BabAI prevents the entanglement or collision that ends an expensive offshore mission.

Nuclear plant cooling-water ROVs

Radiation in water degrades sensors faster than in air. BabAI is designed for accelerated sensor degradation.

04 — Built for safety

Built for flights beyond visual line of sight

EU rules (Regulation (EU) 2019/947 and the U-space Regulation (EU) 2021/664) make detect-and-avoid a requirement for flights beyond the pilot's line of sight. BabAI is that layer: software that works on any drone.
