Trusted Autonomous Systems for Mission Success
Defence-Grade Reliability, Mission-Focused Solutions
Chironix’s foundation is built on developing robust, reliable autonomous systems for the most demanding defence environments. As a DISP-certified, veteran-owned Australian company, we understand the critical importance of capability, security, and dependability in mission success.
We translate this experience into practical robotic solutions that enhance situational awareness, extend operational reach, automate dull and dangerous tasks, and ultimately augment the capabilities of defence personnel. Our platform-agnostic approach, powered by the versatile PilotOS control system, ensures the right technology is applied to each challenge.
Enhancing Capability and Safety
Improve Situational Awareness
Deploy autonomous platforms for persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), providing critical data without exposing personnel to direct threats.
Reduce Personnel Risk
Automate hazardous tasks like EOD reconnaissance, CBRNE detection, remote logistics, and casualty extraction support, keeping warfighters out of harm’s way.
Increase Operational Reach
Utilise autonomous systems managed by PilotOS to extend the reach and endurance of operations, covering larger areas and performing tasks for longer durations.
Applications and Capabilities
Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR)
Deploy ground (UGV) or aerial (UAS) robots integrated with PilotOS and advanced sensor payloads (EO/IR, SIGINT) for autonomous reconnaissance, target acquisition, and persistent surveillance missions.
Autonomous Logistics and Resupply
Utilize PilotOS-controlled UGVs for autonomous transport of supplies, ammunition, and equipment in contested or difficult terrain, reducing the burden and risk associated with manual resupply.
Remote Intervention and EOD Support
Employ teleoperated or semi-autonomous robots managed via PilotOS for remote inspection, manipulation, and disruption tasks in support of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and other hazardous intervention scenarios.
