Automatic terminal-guidance module

Tracer Guidance — a hardware module + software that adds automatic terminal guidance to your existing drone.

The drone homes on the target automatically — on both static and moving targets, including under full EW jamming. Optionally, an AI model can be installed and trained for target recognition.

Reference integrations: FPV quadcopter · fixed-wing drone. Delivered as a module or as a software license, whichever the customer prefers.

What the module delivers

Three functions — one board

Pixel Lock

Locks the target on camera and holds it through engagement. Keeps tracking through target maneuver and wind gusts; re-acquires after occlusion. Works on any airframe with a supported FC.

Cruise Control

Flies the drone along a preset trajectory through the EW zone when the control link drops. If video also drops, it continues vision-only to engagement.

AI target recognition

The model is trained for the customer's task: vehicle type, mission profile. Detects, tracks, and engages the target automatically — the operator confirms, or the module operates fully autonomously.

How it works

From launch to impact

Through the friendly EW zone, Cruise Control flies the drone. In the enemy target zone, Pixel Lock carries it to engagement.
