Valhalla
Fly the raid before it comes.
Valhalla is a planning simulator. Planners fly drone raids over a site in 3D, compare sensor layouts and see which routes stay open before a sensor is placed.
Named for the hall in Norse myth where warriors fight every day, rise again by evening and train for the battle to come. Valhalla runs the raid the same way, again and again, until the site is ready for the real one.
Every sensor has a blind side.
A radar sees far across open ground until a ridge blocks its view. A drone flying low behind the ridge stays out of sight until it crests, close to the site. Valhalla flies drone after drone at the site from every direction and marks each path that gets through unseen. Then it moves the sensors and flies again.

What goes into a run.
- GroundA 3D site with drone paths through the air above it.
- SensorsRadar, radio, thermal cameras and acoustic nodes placed around the same site.
- ThreatsQuadcopters, fibre-guided FPVs and one-way attack drones, alone or in raids, among birds and spoofed signals.
- RepeatFly the same site with different drone routes and sensor layouts.
What a planner sees.
- Where a drone can get through unseen.
- Where the next sensor does the most good.
- What changes when the radar moves to higher ground.
- How the same sensor layout behaves under different visibility and weather.
Why it matters.
A plan that looks complete on paper can still leave a low route behind a ridge. Finding it takes more raids than any team could ever fly.
Valhalla flies tens of millions of simulated raids at a site, from every direction and at every height, and marks each path that gets through unseen.
Those runs show where each node should go to close the gaps, and which approaches a real raid is most likely to take. The same raids grade every change to EchoCore AI.
Where it is going
In active development, grading EchoCore AI.
- NowFlies raids over 3D sites, compares sensor layouts and grades EchoCore AI against the same simulated routes.
- NextMeasured elevation for any site, so every hill in the model is a hill on the ground.
- ThenPlanning studies for customer sites, and field recordings flown back through the simulator so each trial sharpens the next plan.
Keep the raid fixed. Move the sensors and compare what changes.
