SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Astra-RC1
Technical Brief

The Resonant Core (RC1) is not merely a flight computer; it is a dedicated Perception Co-Processor designed to retrofit existing Class-1 and Class-2 UAVs/UGVs.

By offloading 100% of the VLA inference and Compressed Sensing reconstruction from the host controller, the RC1 ensures deterministic latency (<15ms) regardless of the host vehicle's CPU load.

Restricted Access

Full schematics, STEP files, and integration guides are available only to authorized partners via the secure data room.

FPGA Acceleration

Unlike GPU-based systems which suffer from non-deterministic OS jitter, our custom FPGA bitstream ensures hard real-time execution of the VLA control loop. This guarantees a safety-critical reflex time of under 15ms.

Passive RF Sensing

The RC1 does not emit active radar pulses, making it invisible to Radar Warning Receivers (RWR). It navigates by passively listening to the "spectral texture" of the environment, ideal for stealth and industrial monitoring.

Thermal Management

Designed for desert and subterranean operations. The chassis acts as a monolithic heatsink, allowing continuous operation at 85°C ambient temperature without active cooling fans (failure point elimination).

Supply Chain Security

All critical silicon is sourced from NDAA-compliant vendors. The secure bootloader ensures that only signed firmware from Astra Kinetics can execute, preventing rootkit attacks in the field.
