# Hardware | Vigil Autonomy

Vigil collection hardware pairs edge collection with aircraft telemetry. Ground Station records model-ready sensor and position data. Rover adds an exterior-mounted UAS payload configuration for aircraft position, attitude, and vehicle telemetry.

## Ground Station

Ground Station collects model-ready paired camera and position data. It produces synchronized ground truth for training, evaluation, and trajectory replay.

Built for **builders** who need their own collection loop before the final payload is locked, and for teams standing up repeatable field evaluation.

## Specs

- Compute: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB, up to 100 TOPS, Ubuntu 22.04
- Cameras: up to 4, plus Jetson-compatible event sensors
- Position: centimeter-class, time-synced to every sensor sample
- Output: synchronized position and sensor-sample pairs on NVMe + SQLite WAL

## Rover

Rover is a compact, exterior-mounted UAS payload configuration. It forwards one-way aircraft position, attitude, and vehicle telemetry to Ground Station without accepting commands or controlling the aircraft.

- Exterior UAS payload
- One-way telemetry
- Ground Station pairing
- Program-specific integration

Mounting, interfaces, and delivery are configured for each program. [Contact Vigil](/partner-with-us.md) to scope a Rover configuration.

## Commercial path

Reserve one Ground Station with a fully refundable $5,000 deposit toward the $50,000 Ground Station hardware price. Estimated shipping Q1 2027. Rover is scoped separately as a program configuration.
