Navigation without the satellites

The GPS-Denied One-Way UAS navigates without a satellite fix, built for airspace where GPS is jammed, spoofed, or simply gone. It has flown and held stable on vision alone, with no GPS in the loop.

It has flown autonomously on vision alone, with terminal guidance and extended-range profiles in development. The payload can change. What does not change is that the guidance never depends on a signal an adversary controls.

Capabilities

Three things that define it

01

GPS-independent

Guidance that does not depend on a satellite signal an adversary can jam or spoof. The aircraft has held stable in flight with no satellite fix at all.

02

Onboard autonomy

Navigation is computed onboard, not sent over a datalink. Autonomous flight on vision alone is demonstrated. Terminal guidance is in development.

03

Transition ready

An autonomous flying prototype, built from components screened against NDAA §848 and the American Security Drone Act, so it can reach the field quickly.

Built for how the fight actually looks now

When the signal is denied, the mission can't be

Contested airspace increasingly means airspace without GPS, jammed or spoofed or simply unavailable across the operating area. Aircraft that assume a clean satellite fix or a persistent datalink fail there first, exactly when the mission depends on getting through.

The GPS-Denied One-Way UAS is our answer: guidance that does not depend on satellites, and autonomy that runs onboard. Flying autonomously on vision alone, with extended-range fielded capability ahead.
