IoT sensing today, on-device intelligence next.

AirGuard reads your flight many times a second and hands back a complete, honest record of it. The layer above that — models that turn the record into a warning while you are still in the air — is what we are building now, and this page is explicit about which is which.

Layer 01

IoT sensing

The device only helps if the numbers are right. Everything above this layer depends on clean, continuous, time-aligned data.

Position and motion

GPS track and accelerometer data through the jump, not just a start and end point.

Flight data

Altitude, freefall speed and descent profile from fused barometric and motion sensing.

Continuous capture

Recording runs on the device from power-on to landing, so a gap in coverage is not a gap in the record.

Time alignment

Every channel is stamped against one clock, which is what makes the streams comparable later instead of merely adjacent.


Layer 02

Review

What is waiting for you in the hour after you land, and what it took to record it properly.

Companion app

Pairing, device configuration and post-jump review on iOS and Android, over Bluetooth.

Logbook

Every descent recorded automatically, ready to annotate rather than reconstruct from memory.

The full descent

Altitude, speed and track plotted against each other, so a jump can be examined rather than just remembered.

Your data

The record belongs to the person who made it. Nothing is published, sold or shared on your behalf.


On the jump

From power-on to post-jump review.

01
Pair

Mount the device and pair it with the app before you board.

02
Sense

Position, altitude and speed captured continuously, on the device.

03
Land

The descent is already recorded — nothing to start, stop or remember.

04
Review

The full jump waiting in the app, ready to annotate and keep.


In the lab

The hardware is brought up and instrumented in house.

Every board is probed on the bench before it ever sees a jump: rails measured, sensor timing captured on the scope, firmware stepped through under the microscope. Nothing about the sensing stack is taken on trust from a datasheet.

In development
Not in the device yet

The layer we are building next.

Everything below is under active development and none of it ships in AirGuard today. We would rather you knew that from us than found it out from the device. Each item is here because the sensing layer above was built to carry it.

Sensing
Environmental sensing

Wind speed and temperature recorded as you met them, alongside the flight data, so conditions can be read back against the descent.

Models
Risk models on the device

Patterns across motion, flight and conditions evaluated together rather than one threshold at a time, running on the wearable so a decision does not wait for coverage.

Models
Predictive alerts

Warnings raised before a limit is crossed, tuned so they stay rare enough to be believed. Rare is the hard part, and it is why this is not shipping yet.

Response
Automatic alerting

Critical events notifying the contacts you nominate, with position and the conditions the device recorded.

Connectivity
Live link to the ground

A support team following the descent as it happens instead of waiting on a radio call. Needs a radio the current unit does not carry.

Models
Improving over time

Predictions refined as jump data accumulates — which needs devices in the field first, and the consent of the people wearing them.

What AirGuard does today
Monitors position, altitude and speed continuously through a jump.
Records every descent automatically, with no action needed in the air.
Syncs to the companion app over Bluetooth for post-jump review and logbook use.
Mounts to the rig you already jump, in a housing meant to be forgotten about.
What it is not
Not an emergency service, a rescue service or a guaranteed safety device.
Not a replacement for your AAD, your reserve, your training or your judgement.
Not an altimeter to jump by. Read your altitude off the instruments you trust.
Not a medical device, and not intended for diagnosis or treatment.
