SPICA-RIG

AUTONOMOUS BARREL HEALTH & LIFE INTELLIGENCE

Autonomous Barrel Cleaning with
Inspection & Life Intelligence

SPICA CR-D is an AI-driven, physics-based autonomous crawling system that cleans, inspects, and scientifically determines the remaining useful life of gun barrels and critical cylindrical assets — with micron-level precision and mission-critical accuracy.

SPICA is a fully autonomous internal crawler that dynamically adapts to varying barrel diameters, rifling profiles, and surface geometries. Once deployed, it operates without human intervention, maintaining precise axial alignment to ensure uniform cleaning and highly repeatable inspection results.

Autonomous, Self-Adjusting Crawling Architecture

SPICA performs controlled, non-abrasive cleaning using dedicated brush systems designed to remove:

Carbon fouling
Copper deposits
Corrosion layers
Residual combustion deposits

This AI-governed cleaning ensures the barrel surface is restored to a true inspection-ready state without altering its geometry or inducing damage.

AI-Driven Precision
Cleaning

SPICA automatically executes an advanced AI inspection capable of detecting defects as small as 10 microns, including:

Micro and macro cracks
Pitting
Bulges
Corrosion at graded severity levels

Every anomaly is precisely mapped along the full internal length of the barrel.

Micro Level Defect Detection

SPICA’s AI does more than detect — it understands damage.

The Algorithm

Separates damaged regions from healthy sections
Computes volumetric and surface-area impact
Scientifically quantifies how much of the barrel is compromised

Intelligent Damage Segmentation & Quantification

SPICA integrates a built-in physics engine and FEM analysis to evaluate how detected defects affect structural integrity.

By mapping real-world damage against the barrel’s original design parameters and historical loading cycles, SPICA predicts:

Stress concentration zones
Crack propagation risk
Structural failure probability

Embedded Physics with FEA based Life Analysis

With over 94% accuracy, SPICA estimates the remaining safe operational life of barrels and cylindrical assets. This enables defense forces to

Shift from reactive to predictive maintenance
Prevent catastrophic failures
Optimize replacement and refurbishment cycles
Plan inventory with confidence

Residual Useful Life
Intelligence

Decision Intelligence

Decision Intelligence Output

SPICA delivers actionable outcomes, not raw data:

Accept / continue use
Repair & reline recommendations
Reject & decommission alerts
Maintenance scheduling guidance
Life-extension vs replacement trade-offs

All outputs are scientific, traceable, and auditable.

Strategic Value for Defense

Eliminates subjective human inspection
Prevents catastrophic barrel failures
Extends asset life safely
Reduces unnecessary replacements
Enables data-backed maintenance doctrines

Result

SPICA-CR-D creates a standardized, repeatable, and defensible safety compliance process that enhances combat readiness while minimizing risk to crews, weapons, and missions.
