Blackweaver.
A low-slung, tracked autonomous platform engineered for traction, endurance, and perception in deep winter. Built to clear, sense, and map — then hand the data back to the fleet.

Capabilities
Autonomous clearing
Plans and executes coverage of defined work zones — lots, paths, aprons — with safe-stop and remote supervision.
All-condition mobility
Tracked drive and low centre of mass hold traction on ice, packed snow, and grade where wheels slip.
Continuous mapping
Builds and updates a centimetre-grade 3D map of every site it works, every time it works it.
Modular front end
Auger, brush, or blade modules swap in minutes — the same platform, retasked across seasons.
Sensor Package
Eleven sensors. One fused model of the world.
Rotating LiDAR
128-channel, 120 m range, snow-rejection filtering.
4D Imaging radar
Front + rear, 200 m, velocity-resolved through whiteout.
Thermal cameras
Dual-band, 360° heat-signature coverage for people and animals.
RGB array
Six cameras, HDR, surround visual confirmation and logging.
RTK-GNSS + IMU
Centimetre positioning, 200 Hz dead-reckoning continuity.
Traction + load sensing
Per-track slip, surface friction, and implement load telemetry.
Data Generated
Every shift is a dataset.
A single Blackweaver produces a structured record of terrain geometry, surface conditions, obstacle encounters, and machine performance — roughly 1.2 TB per operating day. It is the raw material of the fleet's intelligence, and an asset that appreciates with every deployment.
