Autonomy Stack

Valeon Systems

Valeon explores autonomy under degraded communications. The work centers on Ghostlink-native UAV architecture, mission graphs, autopilot adapters, and fleet operations that assume the link will fail.

Research and product architecture

This is a design paper. The block below separates what is built from what is not, so the architecture reads against a known maturity.

Built
  • Chimera v1.1 architecture: CM4 as Tier 1 default, six-layer stack with nonlinear control, CSLAM, TRN/MAGNAV
  • Ghostlink RF spec
  • Autopilot adapter design for PX4 and ArduPilot
  • Product surface at valeon.systems
Not yet
  • Fielded flight tests with the full Chimera stack
  • Production deployment at a customer
  • ROS2 path - deliberately dropped 2026-04-26
Why this paper is in the portfolio

Valeon documents how a Ghostlink-native autonomy stack should be structured under degraded communications. It is an architecture paper, not a flight-test report.

The Engineering Discipline Autonomous UAVs Need Before Autonomy

Most autonomy startups want to start with mission AI. Valeon has to start one layer lower: requirements, sizing, energy margins, airframe constraints, and contested-link behavior that keep Chimera honest.
