GROUND BASED AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM
GBAS
What is a GBAS?
GBAS is an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platform engineered to navigate and operate across unstructured, uneven, and off-road terrain without continuous human control. It executes pre-planned missions autonomously — perceiving its surroundings, assessing whether the ground ahead is traversable, and planning safe paths in real time. The platform unifies environment perception, terrain analysis, localization and mapping, route planning, and vehicle control into a single autonomy stack for patrol, reconnaissance, monitoring, and logistics-style missions over terrain that is difficult or hazardous for crewed vehicles.
Core Approach
Reason about the ground, not just the obstacles
GBAS combines real-time perception with terrain-aware reasoning — understanding not just where obstacles are, but whether the ground ahead can be safely driven on — and fuses it into one autonomy stack with a human always in the loop.
Perceive
360° real-time perception detects, classifies, and tracks obstacles.
Assess
Terrain is classified drivable, caution, or impassable as it moves.
Plan
Routes are generated and continuously re-planned around hazards.
Oversee
Operators keep oversight and can take control at any moment.
The Challenge
Why rough terrain breaks conventional ground vehicles
Hazardous Terrain
Operating ground vehicles across rough, unmapped, or hazardous terrain is slow, manpower-intensive, and exposes personnel to real risk.
Fragile Teleoperation
Remote operation demands constant operator attention and a reliable comms link — both of which break down over distance and difficult ground.
Obstacles ≠ Drivability
Conventional autonomy can spot obstacles, but it cannot judge whether the ground itself is actually safe to drive across.

Core Product Features
Executes missions fully autonomously across unstructured, unprepared, and GPS-degraded terrain, with no predefined road network or continuous teleoperation.
Builds a continuous 3D representation of the surroundings, detecting and classifying obstacles in real time across varying lighting and weather conditions.
Analyzes ground geometry such as slope, surface roughness, and elevation discontinuities to classify terrain as traversable, caution, or non-traversable before committing to a path.
Performs multi-object detection and tracking with persistent object identities, estimating each obstacle's motion to anticipate its future position.
Continuously re-plans local trajectories in response to newly detected obstacles, terrain changes, and route deviations, maintaining a dynamically feasible path.
Fuses terrain traversability with live obstacle data into a unified cost map, so path selection accounts for ground conditions and not just free space.
Performs real-time mapping and high-accuracy localization to position the vehicle within its environment, including in GPS-denied or previously unmapped areas.
Continuously evaluates collision risk against tracked obstacles and executes evasive maneuvers within the vehicle's kinematic and dynamic limits.

Core System Modules
Perception Engine
Continuously senses the surroundings to detect, classify, and track obstacles in real time — the environmental awareness required for safe autonomous driving.
Terrain Analysis & Traversability
Classifies the ground ahead as drivable, caution, or impassable — reasoning about whether terrain is safe to cross, not just whether an obstacle is present.
Mapping & Localization
Builds and maintains a map of the environment while keeping the vehicle accurately positioned within it, underpinning route following over unmapped terrain.
Mission & Route Planning
Generates routes and patrol patterns within the vehicle's movement constraints, supporting multi-checkpoint missions that adapt as conditions change.
Navigation & Collision Avoidance
Combines terrain assessment with live obstacle detection and re-plans a safe path in real time, triggering timely avoidance maneuvers around moving obstacles.
Command & Control
Gives operators real-time status, mission monitoring, sensor feeds, and remote intervention — preserving human oversight alongside autonomous operation.
Built For Autonomous Ground Operations
Designed for autonomous mobility and persistent ground awareness, the platform supports reconnaissance, patrol, monitoring, and logistics missions across challenging off-road environments.
