Khronos

The name 'Khronos' in the extracted facts refers to at least three distinct systems: (1) Elistair's Khronos, a fully automated tethered drone-in-a-box system for military/security ISR, deployed in 70+ countries with a €3M military contract; (2) the MIT SPARK Lab's 'Khronos' spatio-temporal mapping algorithm for mobile robots, published at RSS 2024; and (3) the Khronos Group, the standards body behind OpenXR, Vulkan, and glTF. These are entirely separate entities sharing a name. The autonomy assessment below focuses on Elistair's Khronos drone system, as it is the most substantively described robotic/autonomous system in the facts. The MIT mapping algorithm and Khronos Group standards facts are preserved but are not the same product.
