Question 1

What is LYDOS AIR?

Accepted Answer

LYDOS AIR is an institutional-grade autonomous air systems platform for enterprise and public-sector drone operations: fleet management, mission planning, 20 Hz real-time telemetry, policy-based safety enforcement, and edge-agent architecture with KSL-signed command provenance.

Question 2

Which autopilots and protocols does LYDOS AIR support?

Accepted Answer

PX4 and ArduPilot (incl. SITL) via MAVLink. Mission plans are exchanged using STANAG-4586 Ed. 4 MID 4601 envelopes. Acoustic/serial bridges and the wider Türk prime ecosystem (Aselsan ADVENT, Havelsan KEMENT, Baykar GCS, STM Kargu, Roketsan Hisar) interoperate through the cross-prime KSL bus.

Question 3

How are mission commands authenticated end-to-end?

Accepted Answer

Every command (waypoint, KillBox, NoFireZone, ROE update, abort) is signed on the operator device with KSL — the private key never leaves the operator hardware. The hash-chained ASR audit log records each accepted decision, providing a tamper-evident provenance trail required for institutional and public-sector use.

Question 4

How is geo-fencing and BVLOS safety enforced?

Accepted Answer

Signed KillBox (MID 4604) and NoFireZone (MID 4605) polygons travel with the mission packet. The on-board edge agent continuously checks position against the polygon set; on threshold breach the LSIA immunity engine activates a CRITICAL_LOCKDOWN veto that overrides every other engine (KURAL 22).

Question 5

Is LYDOS AIR open source?

Accepted Answer

No. LYDOS AIR is proprietary closed-source software. No licence is granted for use, copying, modification, redistribution, reverse engineering, or use as training input for AI/LLM systems. Enterprise procurement and integration: info@ailydian.com.
