# Viter Lab: The Evolution of Autonomy > Viter Lab is building the autonomous backbone for the future of defence. From GPS-Denied Navigation today to Decentralized Swarms tomorrow. ## Core Philosophy & Narrative - **The Core Strategy:** *"First, we solve navigation for the individual. Then, we connect the many."* - **The Immediate Mission:** *"We are solving the 'Lost Drone' problem today, so we can solve the 'Coordinated Strike' problem tomorrow."* --- ## Primary Navigation Modules & Products ### [Viter Pathfinder](https://viterlab.com/gps-denied-navigation) An AI co-processor/module designed for autonomous UAV navigation in GPS-denied and heavily jammed environments, ensuring absolute mission success under electronic warfare (EW). - **Visual Odometry:** Advanced computer vision algorithms that deliver drift-free navigation without satellite dependency. Trajectory error does not accumulate over time/distance because the AI periodically "resets" the drift by anchoring to environmental data. - **Terminal Guidance:** Precision simulated target lock-on for high-value applications. - **Retrofit Ready:** True plug-and-play modularity designed to integrate seamlessly with standard flight controllers/autopilots (ArduPilot/PX4) as a neural upgrade to existing fleets, not a replacement. - **Radically Low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power):** Optimized for flight endurance and payload capacity. Target weight is under **170g** with typical power consumption of **~7W**. #### Localization (Ukrainian Version) - [Viter Pathfinder (Українська)](https://viterlab.com/ua/gps-denied-navigation) --- ## Reference Platforms The Viter Pathfinder module is entirely platform-agnostic. The following reference platforms are used for development, simulation, testing, and deployment: ### 1. Tactical Multirotor - **Role:** Short-range reconnaissance and tactical urban operations. - **Form Factor:** Standard multicopter frames retrofitted with the Pathfinder module. ### 2. Viter Lab TAS-02 (Long-Range Delivery VTOL) A high-endurance vertical takeoff and landing platform engineered for long-range tactical transport and logistics. - **Wingspan:** 1.9 m - **Maximum Take-Off Weight:** 6.0 kg - **Weight (without battery):** 4.2 kg - **Stall Speed:** 50 km/h - **Cruising Speed:** 70 km/h - **Maximum Speed:** 180 km/h - **Maximum Flight Time:** 90 min - **Maximum Range:** 100 km --- ## Roadmap & Milestones - **Q4 2025 (Completed):** Core AI Architecture & Conceptual Design. - **Jan 2026 (Current):** High-Fidelity SITL (Software-in-the-Loop) Validation of Pathfinder Navigation Logic in simulation. - **Feb 2026 (Upcoming):** "Iron Bird" Flight Tests on multicopter testbeds and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) integration. - **Q2 2026 (Target):** Brave1 Field Trials (Ukraine) validating single-unit visual navigation autonomy in real EW conditions. - **2027+ (The Ultimate Goal - Phase 2):** **Decentralized Swarm Deployment**. Multi-agent collaborative flight enabling drones to coordinate search patterns, share target profiles, and distribute decision-making without a central ground control station (one brain, many agents). --- ## Contact & Inquiries - [Contact Form & Access Request](https://viterlab.com/contact) - **Investor Access:** Request pitching decks and financials. - **Join the Beta:** Sign up for hardware pilot trials and testing partnerships. - **Email Support/Inquiries:** info@viterlab.com --- Global-AI-Index: https://index.neonia.io/0d5dcb13
