Visual Navigation Technology

Reliable Navigation Without GPS

Visual Navigation uses cameras, LiDAR, and advanced image processing to enable systems to navigate by analyzing their surroundings. By detecting landmarks, mapping terrain, and tracking motion, it provides precise positioning—even in environments where GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals are blocked, degraded, or denied.

Key Capabilities

• Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

• Optical Flow & Feature Tracking

• Terrain Referencing & Scene Recognition

Visual navigation systems autonomously map and localize in real time, making them ideal for GPS-denied environments.

Applications

• Defence & Aerospace: Navigation for UAVs, missiles, and ground systems in contested areas.

• Autonomous Systems: Enhances self-driving vehicles and robotics.

• Space Missions: Supports landings and docking without external signals.

• Maritime Operations: Enables precise navigation in poor visibility.

Benefits

• Operates Without GNSS

• Highly Accurate in Complex Environments

• Real-Time, Adaptive Performance

• Cost-Effective with COTS Sensors

Visual Navigation is a key enabler of autonomous systems and resilient operations—delivering reliable navigation where GPS cannot.
