Base station

The ground processing hub

The whole brain of the swarm sits on the ground: a powerful PC detects weeds in real time and drives every drone — the aircraft themselves stay simple and cheap.

Low latency — under 30 ms

The drone streams video, the station returns commands. Three data streams run at once for every drone in the swarm.

Architecture

Why compute lives on the ground, not on board

Cheaper drone — without an onboard computer every unit is lighter and simpler.
Longer flight — less weight means more time in the air per charge.
One GPU for the swarm — the station’s power is shared across 10–30 drones.
Simple updates — new AI models go onto the station; the drones stay untouched.
