AuterionOS
The onboard operating system for autonomous drones and ground vehicles. Vendor-independent by design and built on PX4 and open standards, it runs across fleets of mixed-manufacturer vehicles, providing a consistent experience for autonomy, comms, sensors and apps. New capabilities can be deployed as apps without hardware changes.
Skynode X
An all-in-one autopilot and mission computer that integrates flight control, a mission computer and LTE connectivity into a single module. Skynode X gives any drone or robot immediate access to the full Auterion software stack — mission planning, live video, cloud analytics and predictive maintenance — without assembling separate components.
Skynode S
A compact, cost-effective version of the Skynode hardware platform designed for volume deployment. With over 50,000 units in service, it is the most widely deployed secure control module for autonomous aerial systems and serves as the hardware foundation for Nemyx swarm operations.
Nemyx
Swarm coordination software that links autonomous drones into a single, resilient combat force. Built on AuterionOS and optimised for Skynode S, Nemyx allows one operator to strike multiple targets simultaneously and maintain mission continuity even when GPS and video links are jammed. It integrates with existing fleets without hardware replacements.
Auterion Suite
A cloud-based fleet management platform that receives flight data automatically from the field, provides real-time mission visibility and supports predictive maintenance through automated flight log analysis. Designed for organisations managing fleets at scale across multiple sites.
Auterion Mission Control
A ground control application for planning, executing and monitoring operations across any Auterion-powered vehicle. Standardised workflows ensure repeatable mission outcomes whether operating one drone or coordinating a global fleet, with live situational awareness and field-to-command handoff.
