AISPECO announced Heliux CORE (Patent Pending), a new-generation system control and integration platform developed to simplify aircraft installation and support increasingly complex multi-sensor airborne mapping missions.
As airborne geospatial operations continue to scale in sensor count, data rates, and onboard processing requirements, installation and system configuration have increasingly become operational constraints. New Heliux CORE was engineered to address these challenges by consolidating control, compute, and power management into a single modular platform.
From Multi-Component Setup to a Unified Platform
Previous Heliux pod system generations required separate Heliux CORE and Power Supply Unit installations inside the aircraft. The new Heliux CORE integrates these functions into one compact, self-contained unit that can be non-permanently installed in the cockpit, typically occupying a single passenger seat. This significantly reduces aircraft downtime and simplifies deployment across different aircraft types.
Designed to Scale with Mission Complexity
Heliux CORE introduces a modular architecture that allows operators to expand computing capacity and mission capability without redesigning the system. It supports flexible power configurations, including embedded AC/DC supply, aircraft power input, and optional UPS capability for uninterrupted operations before, during, and after flight.
The platform also enables scalable compute expansion through modular CPU building blocks called GeoBrick, supporting control of multiple sensor pods and real-time edge processing. Its high-performance data architecture – including 10G+ Ethernet connectivity and PCIe-based high-speed storage – is designed to eliminate throughput bottlenecks and support demanding multi-sensor missions. Reliability was a central design priority, with built-in active cooling, optimized thermal airflow, and full thermal stress testing of components prior to production release.
