AeroVironment expands AV_Halo with INSTINCT autonomy framework for uncrewed systems

• AeroVironment expanded its AV_Halo mission software platform with INSTINCT, an autonomy framework for multi-platform uncrewed systems, and DETECT, an RF spectrum sensing and security suite aimed at operating in contested or communications-denied environments.
• INSTINCT is positioned to support distributed, collaborative mission execution across ISR, loitering, precision strike, and counter-UAS missions, with features such as natural-language tasking intended to reduce operator workload.
• DETECT uses AI-driven RF detection to identify and locate threats, with an emphasis on maintaining sensing, communications, and localization under electronic attack.
• The additions extend AV_Halo’s open-architecture approach, targeting faster edge decision-making by combining autonomy with resilient RF sensing across new and legacy platforms.
• Both modules are available now, with tailoring offered for specific platforms, sensors, and operating environments.
