SLYR is a dual-compute avionics platform that separates deterministic flight control from AI-assisted decision making — enforced at the hardware level.
Most UAV systems bind flight control and autonomy into a single processing loop. When AI inference stutters under load, the aircraft stutters. Latency in one layer becomes instability in another.
SLYR isolates safety-critical execution from adaptive reasoning at the silicon level. The STM32 flight kernel never waits on the Pi. Safety becomes structural — not a runtime policy.
Strict isolation of deterministic real-time execution from adaptive reasoning. Every command passing from the autonomy layer is validated, clamped, and smoothed before it reaches the flight kernel.
Component selection prioritises determinism and power efficiency, keeping the real-time kernel isolated from variable AI workloads.
