Spatial AI for depots, flight lines, and sustainment programs: robots, inspectors, and technicians working from one spatial model of the asset.

Talk to our team

GridRaster brings Spatial AI to Air Force and Army depots, flight lines, and defense OEMs. SPIDER turns aircraft, vehicles, and weapon-system components into live spatial data that robots, inspectors, and technicians all work from: robotic setup in minutes instead of hours, every inspection finding anchored to the asset, technical data delivered on the surface at the moment of work, and all of it running on-premises or air-gapped inside the accreditation boundary you already have.

What SPIDER brings to defense sustainment

Figure: SPIDER platform architecture

Built for controlled environments: runs on-premises or air-gapped, under your own IT and cybersecurity administration

3D model generation from commercial off-the-shelf devices, producing production-ready digital twins of airframes, vehicles, and components in minutes
Automatic 3D object segmentation and bounding-box extraction
Reconstruction at 1:1 scale without polygon reduction

Markerless localization of assets and parts in real time, with no fixtures or fiducials
Real-time 6DoF tracking of inspection tools during use
Orientation, alignment, and anchoring of digital twins to the physical asset

Deployment on-premises, in an authorized government cloud, or fully disconnected at the depot and flight line
Multi-level security addressing authorization, access, and encryption
Customer data sovereignty: your data stays under your control

Secure shared sessions for remote technical support, OEM consultation, and distributed training
Specialists and instructors can be geographically separated from the work site

Automation & Robotics

Robotic Setup in Minutes, Not Hours

Painting, de-painting, blasting, and inspection on aircraft are labor-intensive and hazardous, and every asset enters the work-cell in a different position or condition. SPIDER recognizes the asset with no markers, localizes the regions of interest and keep-out zones from the digital twin, and converts the operator’s XR selection into robot-ready coordinates sent to the controller over encrypted APIs. The technician approves each critical step before it executes, so people stay in control and out of the hazardous work.

Inspection & Maintenance

Every Finding, Anchored to the Aircraft

SPIDER tracks inspection tools in real time and anchors every reading to its location on the physical part and its digital twin, on one unified data layer. An eddy-current tool has its full path traced live, a tactile tool has each capture mapped to the exact point it was taken, and X-ray plate placement is linked to the digital task order. The result is one traceable digital work record per aircraft. For the flight line, the forward-deployed SPIDER Inspection Kit brings the same record to the asset with no cloud, no internet, and no enterprise network.

Active Task Assistance

Right Place, Right the First Time

Assistance is dynamic, not a static work instruction. SPIDER detects the asset, aligns its digital twin to the physical surface, and shows the target in place: X-ray plate positions, masking boundaries, camouflage patterns, and fastener locations, delivered on the asset on demand. Errors are flagged as they happen and each step is confirmed before paint, fastener, or capture, so rework is caught in-process rather than after the fact.
