GPS-denied stabilization system for drones

Use case

Military and civilian UAV operations often encounter GPS-denied environments due to adversarial actions, signal obstructions, or indoor settings. This limitation hinders mission-critical tasks such as intelligence gathering, surveillance, combat operations, and infrastructure inspection.

Solution

Our solution offers a robust, sensor-fusion-based positioning system for UAVs operating without GPS. It leverages onboard sensors like cameras, IMUs, barometers, and magnetometers to provide accurate real-time position and state estimation. The system’s core algorithm, built on advanced SLAM and visual odometry techniques, ensures resilience, even in challenging conditions like low light, smoke, or mist.

Result

By enabling autonomous navigation and mapping in GPS-denied environments, our solution enhances UAV operational capabilities and mission success rates. It eliminates reliance on external communication, increases operator safety, and supports a wide range of military and civilian applications. The system’s compatibility with existing UAV hardware and its minimal additional weight and size make it a cost-effective and versatile solution for various drone platforms.
