RADAR · THERMAL · INERTIAL — sensor fusion on FPGA

TrackFusion matches sensor data against reference imagery to produce a position fix. RECONN.EARTH prepares the imagery; OspreyVMS manages mission video. These three products form the basis of Shoal-OS. Collective coordination is the next layer to build.

System scope

From sensor inputs to mission records.

Shoal-OS assigns hardware interfaces, navigation, reference data and mission applications to distinct layers. Each layer has a defined responsibility. Time, security and logging apply across the system.

01 / THE STACK

Eight layers. One operating system.

L1 handles sensor fusion, matching and fix validation. Navigation services at L2 use those fixes to execute the route. The planned L3 collective layer adds shared position and task allocation. View architecture →

Navigation

Radar, thermal and inertial sensing in one navigation payload.

TrackFusion synchronises sensor inputs, matches them against reference imagery and validates the position fix. Navigation services manage waypoint execution and fallback behaviour.
