Helios™

Airborne Multimodal Intelligence

Helios™ is a lightweight multimodal system that mounts on compatible UAVs to monitor remote and high-risk areas from above. It combines configurable cameras and environmental sensors with SENTRI edge AI to detect early signs of wildfires, changing conditions, and other hazards, delivering clear alerts and context through the Bayes dashboard or a secure API.

The name

Helios

Greek · ΗΛΙΟΣ

The Greek god of the sun travelled across the sky each day, bringing light to the world below. Homer’s formula for him never varies: “who sees all things and hears all things” and the Greeks swore their binding oaths by him for it.

Helios™ draws inspiration from that watchful perspective, taking sensing and AI into the air to reveal changing conditions and emerging hazards.

Helios™ brings lightweight sensing and on-board AI to compatible UAVs, helping detect hazards and monitor changing conditions from above.

How it works

Launch, sense, fuse, inform

Helios™ extends monitoring beyond the reach of fixed cameras, bringing aerial insights into the Bayes dashboard.

1

Launch

Carry the Helios™ payload on Helios O or your compatible UAV to monitor remote areas and locations hidden from ground-level view.

Visual
Thermal
Multispectral
2

Sense

Multispectral sensors and cameras collect data during flight, while SENTRI AI analyzes it on board to identify developing hazards.

Ground sensing and Faunus™ unitsWhat is already watching the site from the ground, in the detail only a fixed unit has.
Satellite dataThe wider landscape between passes, which the flight fills in at the resolution a pass cannot reach.
3

Fuse

Bring aerial observations together with available ground-sensor and satellite data for a clearer picture of conditions.

SENTRI AI, running on the aircraftOn-board inferenceNo downlink required
4

Inform

Use alerts, supporting context, and predictive insights to assess emerging risks and guide your response.

AlertsRaised in flight, with the frame and the location that produced them.
Control panelThe Bayes dashboard, alongside whatever the ground units are reporting.
Secure APIAerial detections into your own software, on your own schema.

Configurations

One sensing system in two variations.

Helios O™ combines our sensing and AI technology with Bayes’ lighter-than-air UAV. Helios X™ brings the same capabilities to your compatible UAV.

Lighter-than-air UAV · our hardware

Helios O™

SENTRI AI on our blimp

Helios O™ is the Bayes lighter-than-air aerial vehicle. A solar-powered blimp carrying the full SENTRI AI sensing and edge-compute payload. It is the choice for long-range and consistent flight, where staying up matters more than getting there fast.

  • Extended Flight Endurance
  • Multisensor Monitoring using On-Board SENTRI AI
  • Flexible Payload
  • High altitude, clear of aerial traffic

Drone agnostic · your hardware

Helios X™

The same payload, on the airframe you already fly

Helios X™ is the drone-agnostic build. It combines configurable cameras and environmental sensors with on-board SENTRI AI to detect developing hazards and monitor changing conditions, delivering clear alerts and context through the Bayes dashboard or a secure API.

  • Compatible with your UAV
  • Modular sensing, configured per mission
  • Rapid launch for inspection and confirmation
  • No new airframe to crew or certify
