Maxar Intelligence has introduced Raptor, innovative software that allows drones to navigate without GPS by utilizing a combination of visual data from onboard cameras and Maxar's extensive 3D topographical data. This development is particularly crucial in modern battlefields where GPS jamming hinders operations. By leveraging over 90 million square kilometers of mapped terrain, Raptor provides real-time data matching capabilities, making it a significant advancement for military drones. Maxar's Chief Product Officer emphasizes the necessity for such solutions in future conflicts where GPS reliability is uncertain.
The entire modern battle space is defined by GPS. A wide range of military systems depend on it, but it may not be available in future fights.
Raptor is designed for integration on any uncrewed aerial system; no additional hardware is required, ensuring versatility and adaptability for various missions.
