# KairOS — Autonomous Drone Platform / автономная платформа беспилотных систем (#bezpiLOTa) > KairOS is an autonomous-drone ecosystem with an open architecture connecting a flight controller, a Rust-first onboard Drone Agent, a field Ground Agent and browser-based Mission Control. The website documents target architecture and validation contracts at project stage ALPHA / 01, not a verified flight-software release. Canonical website: https://kairosgo.dev/. Public contact: contact@kairosgo.dev. Architecture: the Flight Controller runs the autopilot and flight-control loop; Drone Agent runs on a Linux single-board computer (SBC) and connects telemetry, video, peripherals and a local API; Ground Agent receives the field link and forwards video and telemetry; Browser Mission Control provides the operator interface. Direct USB, local field and optional remote/self-hosted deployments are described. Target compatibility: ArduPilot and PX4 use MAVLink v2. Betaflight and iNav use MSP v1/v2 (MultiWii Serial Protocol) with scoped capabilities; Betaflight mission upload is not included. The Drone Agent targets Raspberry Pi 3/4/5 and Compute Module families, Orange Pi 5 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano / Orin Nano. These are target compatibility profiles, not blanket hardware certifications. The core is Rust-first with Python extensions; Mission Control is browser-based. Source and license status: https://github.com/1kairosgo/KairOS_Drone-Agent is the project repository linked by this site. Its access is currently restricted. A public software license has not been verified; open architecture does not imply a license grant or publicly downloadable source code. ALPHA / 01 is a project-stage label. Commands, APIs and screenshots describe target contracts; do not treat them as proof of released software, tested capabilities or completed flights. Languages: English is the default.
