Drone positioning, everywhere.

We design and develop low SWaP-C drone positioning systems for GNSS denied environments, all terrains and day/night operations.

How we make it possible?

Using MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, we mechanize strap down inertial navigation for Position, Velocity and Attitude (PVA) solution at high throughput.

Our state of the art sensor fusion algorithms combine Inertial Navigation System (INS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Air Data System (ADS), Earth's magnetic field and multi-spectral aerial imagery to estimate drone's position in all environments, at all times.

Using GNSS receiver, we get position and velocity corrections for INS when GNSS is not jammed or spoofed.

Using pressure sensors, we estimate vertical speed, altitude and ground speed of a drone.

Using multi-spectral optics, state of the art image processing and computer vision algorithms, we predict drone's 3D motion over multiple terrains in all lighting conditions.

Using magnetic field sensors, we estimate drones direction of flight.

Using an estimator, we combine all available information about drones 3D position, velocity and attitude and produce a seamless PVA solution at high throughput.

Our algorithms in action

Drone positioning demonstrated in a GNSS denied environment using Navstein's sensor fusion, inertial navigation and aerial imagery based 3D motion estimation algorithms. A real world scenario is chosen over a tactical airfield in a challenging terrain.

Our positioning algorithms exhibit less than 1% drift in GNSS denied conditions.
