Autonomous UAV platform with embedded AI for civil and military operations
Beyond Vision builds autonomous drone systems and a cloud control platform (beXStream) combining embedded AI with dual-use hardware. The tech stack reveals a hardware-software hybrid: CAD/simulation tools (Fusion 360, Ansys), embedded systems (C++, ROS/ROS 2, OpenCV), and ML inference optimization (PyTorch, TensorFlow, TensorRT, ONNX on Nvidia Jetson). Active projects span onboard perception, autonomous navigation, and model optimization—all grounded in the challenge of reliable UAV-ground communication, a known pain point in the sector.
Beyond Vision develops autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles and AI-driven control software for civil and military applications across Europe. Founded in 2013, the company operates from three Portuguese offices (Lisbon, Porto, Aveiro) with around 51–200 employees. The core product, beXStream, is a cloud-based platform for remote drone operation, layered with AI automation and multi-channel communication integration. Beyond research partnerships and EU project participation, the company is now scaling sales into Latin America while managing ISO 9000 compliance and funding strategy.
