  • Halley is a Group 1 VTOL UAS designed for high-speed, low-altitude missions in denied and contested environments.
  • The platform integrates Tycho.AI's Voyager hardware and software core for visual navigation and autonomous operation without GNSS or persistent communications.
  • Tycho.AI said Halley had reached TRL 6 and was moving from advanced prototype toward full-scale production.

Tycho.AI develops edge autonomy software, mission-optimized compute hardware, and uncrewed aircraft systems for GPS-denied and communications-contested environments. Its Voyager autonomy stack is designed for low-altitude, high-speed navigation and autonomous decision-making across uncrewed platforms, while Halley extends the company into Group 1 VTOL aircraft.
