“Suitable for the modern era, the co-developed solution will provide resilient absolute positioning for a multitude of airborne platforms, said Advanced Navigation, in a statement.
Efficient GPS alternative
A visual navigation system enhances inertial navigation by providing accurate position updates at regular intervals, enabling location recalibration.
Conventional systems use high-resolution cameras, which produce enormous amounts of data that need to be compared with satellite pictures using computationally demanding methods. This presents difficulties for tiny, power-constrained vehicles, such as drones, where it is frequently unfeasible to integrate such computational resources.
