visionairy®
Terminal Guidance
Enables drones to carry out highly accurate final approach maneuvers toward fixed or mobile targets, ensuring precision, timing, and reliability during critical operations such as target acquisition, payload delivery, or ingress into contested zones.
Benefits
Lightweight and Efficient
Runs efficiently on small, low-power hardware
Robust Tracking
Maintains target lock even during occlusion or visual interruptions
Seamless Integration
Works seamlessly with any Autopilot and Visionairy systems

Features
Unlock precise, safe, and intelligent landings with Spleenlab’s Precision Landing. Engineered for reliability in complex environments, it delivers advanced capabilities that go beyond standard descent systems.
Visual Target Alignment - Detects and aligns to the designated objective using onboard camera feed.
Adaptive Trajectory Correction - Adjusts heading, velocity, and orientation to approach the target with sub-meter accuracy.
Occlusion Handling - Maintains reliable tracking even when targets are partially obstructed.
Markerless or Marker-Based Support - Operates with natural features, designated patterns, or visual landing pads.
Configurable Behavior Triggers - Supports mission-specific logic—e.g., hold position, initiate drop, or switch to manual override.
GPS-Denied Operation - Functions reliably without dependence on GPS
