Platform Overview
Astrabeam delivers a full-stack platform that combines advanced radio sensing, AI-driven perception, and autonomy software to enable systems to operate reliably in complex, real-world environments.
By integrating sub-terahertz radar, computer vision, and machine learning, Astrabeam enables robust perception in conditions where traditional sensors fail.
At the core of the platform is Open Loop Autonomy, an observation-driven software layer that allows autonomous systems to operate without reliance on GPS, maps, or continuous communications.
Hardware
Astrabeam’s hardware layer provides high-resolution sensing using sub-terahertz radar, designed to operate in environments where cameras and LiDAR fail.
Astrabeam’s Strengths and Differentiators:
Operates in smoke, fog, dust, and darkness where cameras/LiDAR fail
High range and spatial resolution for precise perception
Compact, low SWaP-C design for broad platform integration
Built for industrial, robotics, and defense environments
Software
Astrabeam’s software layer enables a new approach to autonomy that is driven by real-time perception rather than reliance on external infrastructure.
Open Loop Autonomy allows systems to navigate, track, and complete missions using onboard sensing and computation - without GPS, pre-built maps, or continuous communication.
Astrabeam’s Strengths and Differentiators:
Enables operation in GPS-denied and contested environments
Observation-centric autonomy (no reliance on pre-mapped environments)
Maintains mission continuity under communication loss
Reduces need for constant human control while supporting supervision
Deployable as a software upgrade across existing systems
Machine Learning
Astrabeam uses machine learning to transform raw sensor data into real-time understanding of the environment.
By combining radar with complementary sensing inputs such as cameras, the platform enables more robust perception than any single modality alone.
Astrabeam Differentiation:
Multi-modal sensor fusion (radar + vision) for higher reliability
Accurate perception in low-visibility environments
Real-time object detection, tracking, and SLAM
Edge-optimized models for low latency decision-making
Moves beyond sensing to true environment understanding
Deployment
Astrabeam’s platform is designed for seamless integration into existing systems and rapid deployment across real-world environments.
Astrabeam’s Strengths and Differentiators:
Runs on edge devices (e.g., Jetson) for real-time performance
Integrates with existing robotics and autonomy stacks
Supports modular or full-system deployment
Enables software-defined capability upgrades via Open Loop Autonomy
Scales from pilot deployments to fleet-wide rollouts
