IN THE AIRFRAME

One module at the centre of the aircraft.

Speculis installs where the flight controller sits today. It connects the GNSS antennas, actuators, telemetry and power, and checks every signal on the way in.

IN FLIGHT

Flies the aircraft. Watches the spectrum. Keeps navigating.

ASSEMBLY

Built up from the carrier. Serviced from the top.

Watch the SPC-AP module come together layer by layer, then open again for service.

STEP 01 / 06Carrier boardThe only part that changes per airframe. Pixhawk-compatible I/O and antenna ports.
STEP 02 / 06Triple-redundant IMU coreThree inertial sensors on a board suspended by vibration dampers.
STEP 03 / 06FPGA flight computerThe reconfigurable SoC that runs control, navigation and security in parallel hardware.

STEP 06 / 06Serviced from the topTop-down disassembly for inspection, upgrades and repair.
WHY FPGA

Every function in its own hardware.

Most autopilots run sensors, estimation, control and communication as one sequential software loop. Speculis runs each as an independent hardware state machine.

PRODUCT FAMILY

Four variants. One flight core.

The four SPC-AP product variants side by side
SPC-AP-DEV
SPC-AP-CORE
SPC-AP-DEF
SPC-AP-SIM
SPC-AP-DEV

Developer module

Open stack for integrators and research teams.

SPC-AP-CORE

Commercial flight computer

The production module on its carrier board.

SPC-AP-DEF

Defence-grade variant

Rugged housing, sealed circular connectors.

SPC-AP-SIM

Hardware-in-the-loop unit

Test flight software on real hardware.

ON THE GROUND

The same module drives unmanned ground vehicles.

Tracked and wheeled UGVs use the same flight core, with LiDAR SLAM and visual-inertial odometry for navigation where GNSS cannot reach.
