AISPECO Introduces CORE, a Modular Platform for Scalable Airborne Sensor Integration, Reducing Aircraft Installation Complexity
Denver, CO – February 16, 2026 – AISPECO announced Heliux CORE (Patent Pending), a new-generation system control and integration platform developed to simplify aircraft installation and support increasingly complex multi-sensor airborne mapping missions. The new Heliux CORE prototype will be showcased at GEO WEEK 2026 in Denver at Booth 1502, where the company is exhibiting together with its US distributor, Vertical Aspect.
As airborne geospatial operations continue to scale in sensor count, data rates, and onboard processing requirements, installation and system configuration have increasingly become operational constraints. New Heliux CORE was engineered to address these challenges by consolidating control, compute, and power management into a single modular platform.

From Multi-Component Setup to a Unified Platform
Previous Heliux pod system generations required separate Heliux CORE and Power Supply Unit installations inside the aircraft. The new Heliux CORE integrates these functions into one compact, self-contained unit that can be non-permanently installed in the cockpit, typically occupying a single passenger seat. This significantly reduces aircraft downtime and simplifies deployment across different aircraft types.
“Installation is often where complexity adds up fastest,” said Rokas Adiklis, CTO of AISPECO. “With Heliux CORE, we reduced the cockpit setup to a single modular unit that can be installed non-permanently, typically occupying just one passenger seat. It’s lighter, easier to handle, and makes expansion much more standardized and streamlined.”

Designed to Scale with Mission Complexity
Heliux CORE introduces a modular architecture that allows operators to expand computing capacity and mission capability without redesigning the system. It supports flexible power configurations, including embedded AC/DC supply, aircraft power input, and optional UPS capability for uninterrupted operations before, during, and after flight.
The platform also enables scalable compute expansion through modular CPU building blocks called GeoBrick, supporting control of multiple sensor pods and real-time edge processing. Its high-performance data architecture – including 10G+ Ethernet connectivity and PCIe-based high-speed storage – is designed to eliminate throughput bottlenecks and support demanding multi-sensor missions. Reliability was a central design priority, with built-in active cooling, optimized thermal airflow, and full thermal stress testing of components prior to production release.
“The biggest improvement is the modularity model,” commented Rokas Adiklis. “It allows us to implement even highly specialized customer requirements with minimal additional R&D effort. That transforms Heliux CORE from a fixed product into a scalable platform.”

Standardized Across the Heliux pods Ecosystem
CORE is the standardized compute and integration platform across AISPECO’s Heliux pods, including Heliux LITE, Heliux FOCUS, and Heliux XL. It is fully compatible with both new and previous-generation Heliux pods, allowing existing customers to upgrade while protecting their current sensor investments.
This unified architecture simplifies upgrades, training, and long-term system scalability across the product portfolio.

Prototype Debut in the United States
AISPECO is presenting the new CORE prototype publicly for the first time at GEO WEEK 2026 in Denver. AISPECO, headquartered in Europe, is exhibiting together with its US partner Vertical Aspect, providing local technical and commercial support to customers in North America.
First customer deliveries of CORE are scheduled in March-April 2026.
Media representatives are invited to visit Booth 1502 to view the prototype and speak with the AISPECO team during the event, including Rokas Adiklis (CTO), Mantas Vaskela (CEO), and Simonas Krasauskas (VP of Product Development).
