The Brief

What Tycho.AI does

Tycho.AI builds the Voyager autonomy stack, an edge-AI system that gives drones and other unmanned aircraft precision navigation and onboard intelligence to operate in GPS-denied and communications-degraded environments. The company says its software lets unmanned aircraft fly 200 miles per hour at under 25 feet with less than 1% navigation deviation, targeting both military missions and non-defense uses like agricultural drone operations. Tycho.AI was founded in 2022 out of MIT by Professor Sertac Karaman and U.S. Army veteran Thom Kenney, and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
