SiMa.ai and Mistral Solutions, a subsidiary of AXISCADES, Partner to Accelerate Autonomous Drone Intelligence
The industrial-grade design supports sub-10W inference, GPS-denied navigation and on-device mission planning for qualified drone OEMs, the companies said.
On Tuesday, SiMa.ai and Mistral Solutions announced a strategic partnership to accelerate autonomous drone intelligence, collaborating on a joint reference design for drone OEMs.
The platform is highly optimized for size, weight, and power constraints, ensuring maximum efficiency while running GPS-denied navigation and obstacle detection on-device without cloud dependency.
Exhibiting at this week's Drone International Expo in New Delhi, the companies showcase SiMa.ai's recently launched agentic environment, Palette Neat, co-optimized with Modalix MLSoC.
"Mistral brings unmatched drone design, and together we are giving the ecosystem a complete, validated foundation to build on," said Karthikeyan Sakthivel, vice president of ESAI at Mistral. The reference design will be available to qualified drone OEMs in Q3 2026.
Bangalore-Based Mistral, a subsidiary of AXISCADES, specializes in embedded systems and defense electronics. SiMa.ai focuses on scaling software-centric platforms across robotics, automotive, and healthcare.
