PAWN
(Photogrammetric Autonomous Workspace Navigator)

Vision-Based Multi-Drone System for Autonomous Reconnaissance & 3D Spatial Mapping.

System Overview

PAWN (PİYON) is an advanced collaborative multi-drone system engineered to perform complex reconnaissance missions and generate high-fidelity 3D spatial maps of unknown environments.

By leveraging state-of-the-art computer vision, stereo-photogrammetry, and decentralized swarm logic, the drones coordinate seamlessly to cover ground efficiently, avoid obstacles, and stream real-time environmental data back to the base station.

  • Real-time 3D Point Cloud Generation
  • Autonomous Multi-Agent Navigation
  • Vision-Based Obstacle Avoidance
  • Tactical Reconnaissance Mapping
