1. Anti-Spoofing Solution for Military & Commercial DronesOur solution offers a low-cost, high-performance anti-spoofing system for drones, designed to operate in environments vulnerable to GPS interference  and spoofing. By using GNSS-independent navigation methods like SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), our drones can navigate accurately even without GPS. This makes them highly resistant to electronic warfare and interference.

2. Advanced Features for Increased Safety and EfficiencyOur drones are equipped with advanced EMI shielding, frequency-hopping communication systems, and real-time spoofing detection powered by AI and machine learning. These technologies ensure that the drone can continue its mission even in environments affected by GPS disruptions. With LiDAR and stereo vision cameras, our drones also provide 3D mapping capabilities for precise navigation and mission execution.

3. Significant Cost Reduction and Market Impact By reducing the financial impact of GPS spoofing, our solution helps military and commercial operators save millions annually. It minimizes operational delays, accidents, and the cost of missed missions. Additionally, it enhances safety and efficiency, making it a crucial technology for sectors like defense and logistics, particularly in high-risk areas such as the Baltic Sea where spoofing is a growing threat.

Team Overview:

Our team consists of three highly skilled individuals with expertise spanning avionics engineering, smart energy, and industrial systems management. We are united by our shared passion for leveraging cutting-edge technology to solve critical problems in the defense and security sector, particularly focused on enhancing drone navigation systems and combating GNSS jamming and spoofing.

Project Focus:

We aim to develop a solution that offers GNSS-independent drone navigation, utilizing technologies like SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), Machine Learning, and advanced sensors. Our goal is to address the vulnerabilities posed by GPS jamming and spoofing, providing military and commercial drones with real-time spoofing detection, anti-EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding, and more reliable navigation. By focusing on these challenges, we are creating a more secure and efficient way to operate UAVs in contested environments.
