Overview

Tycho AI builds navigation and AI systems for unmanned vehicles that can operate without GPS or reliable communications. Their platform combines proprietary software with multi-modal sensor fusion, visual-inertial odometry, and machine learning, running on custom low-SWaP hardware such as FPGAs and ASICs. This enables real-time, edge-based decision-making and precise navigation even in harsh environments, without needing a remote operator. The product is modular and interoperable, so it can work across different drone and autonomous vehicle platforms. Unlike many rivals, Tycho AI targets GPS-denied and contested scenarios, with field-tested performance for high-speed, low-altitude maneuvers and obstacle avoidance, and a strong emphasis on government and military contracts. The company aims to scale its autonomous navigation technology across defense and commercial customers, accelerating product development, flight testing, and deployments with government partners.
