BADGER Control System
Global Compliance-compliant avionics, datalinks, and mission intelligence computers.
System Overview
BADGER Control is Taiwan UAS Group's proprietary autonomy platform — a domain-agnostic intelligence system engineered to operate across Aerial (UAV), Ground (UGV), and Underwater (UUV) platforms. BADGER is built on three integrated pillars that together deliver a complete autonomous operations capability.
Pillar 1 — AI Flight Intelligence
- Compute: NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin — 248 TOPS edge AI processing
- AI-Driven PID Control: Neural-network adaptive stabilization compensating for wind shear, payload shifts, and motor asymmetry in real time
- HiveMind Light Show Coordination: Multi-unit autonomous coordination for logistics networks, search patterns, and synchronized multi-aircraft operations
- Cross-Domain Compatibility: UAV · UGV · UUV — same software core, platform-specific hardware interface layers
- Autonomous Mission Execution: Full waypoint navigation, geofence enforcement, return-to-home, and emergency landing without pilot input
Pillar 2 — Hybrid Omnidirectional DAA
BADGER integrates three independent sensor modalities into a unified threat detection and avoidance layer — no single point of failure, no detection blind spots:
- OUSTER OS1 MAX 256 LiDAR: 360-degree real-time point cloud mapping. Precision 3D obstacle detection and terrain following at operational altitudes
- Smartmicro DRVEGRD 169 Radar: All-weather omnidirectional radar. Detects high-speed objects and provides coverage in rain, fog, and low-visibility conditions where LiDAR performance degrades
- Proprietary Binocular Vision: In-house designed stereoscopic visual ranging system for precision close-range DAA — the final layer before physical contact with obstacles
The three sensor streams are fused in real time by the Jetson AGX Orin, producing a unified environmental model that triggers evasive maneuver planning with sub-second reaction times.
Pillar 3 — Unified Advanced Operations Data Link
- Assured Range: 15 KM operational control radius
- Latency: <110ms glass-to-glass (camera to operator display)
- Architecture: 3-in-1 unified link — Video · Telemetry · RC command on a single encrypted channel
- Encryption: AES-256 end-to-end — ground station to aircraft
- Ground Station: Proprietary Taiwan UAS Group controller and GCS software
Platform Compatibility
BADGER Control is available as a factory-integrated option across the complete Taiwan UAS Group fleet: Umbrella · Umbrella X · Hydra Series · Rhino Series · Coyote. Available as a retrofit module for compatible third-party platforms.
