The Starling Hub is an autonomous ground station for the Pathfinder-X FW-eVTOL, enabling 24/7 unattended continuous operations with automated battery swap in under 30 seconds, precision computer-vision landing, and onboard edge compute — keeping your aircraft on mission around the clock.

Zero Downtime. Zero Operator Intervention.
The Starling Hub swaps batteries in under 30 seconds, charges two spares while the Pathfinder-X is airborne, and relaunches in ~45 seconds — day or night, fully autonomously. One Hub. Continuous 24/7 ISR coverage with no scheduled operator touchpoints.

Automated Battery Swap in <30 Seconds — Fully autonomous exchange upon landing. Two spare batteries maintained at full charge on-station while the aircraft is on mission. No operator required.

Precision Computer-Vision Landing, Day & Night — 1 × 1 m precision docking with a 1.5 × 1.5 m minimum landing zone. Reliable autonomous recovery in all lighting conditions without GPS dependency.

Field-Deployable Edge Node — Onboard edge compute, data storage, and communications infrastructure in a <50 kg package. Supports ground, mobile, maritime, and expeditionary (EABO) forward operations.
