“Alternatve Navigation Sensor suit for gps-denied environments”

  • The ALPPS-GPS is a cutting-edge navigation and mapping solution engineered to enhance the operational effectiveness of autonomous aerial vehicles across both GPS-accessible and GPS-denied environments. Designed for defense and intelligence applications, this system integrates advanced Lidar and photogrammetry technologies to enable precise situational awareness and real-time geospatial intelligence.

    At its core, ALPPS-GPS transforms raw sensor data into robust navigational references, allowing UAVs to maintain course and orientation even in contested or signal-degraded regions. In parallel, it processes photogrammetric and Lidar inputs to generate high-fidelity 3D terrain reconstructions of mission-critical areas, supporting target recognition, path planning, and environmental analysis.

    • Dual-Mode Navigation: Operates seamlessly in both GPS-present and GPS-denied environments.

    • Lidar-Based SLAM Integration: Enables real-time localization and mapping in complex terrain and indoors.

    • Photogrammetric 3D Modeling: Produces high-resolution geospatial renderings for operational planning and intelligence reporting.

    • Sensor Fusion Architecture: Combines data from IMUs, cameras, and Lidar to maintain stability and precision under dynamic conditions.

    • Modular Payload Compatibility: Easily integrates with various UAV platforms and sensor arrays.

    • Secure Edge Processing: Onboard computation minimizes transmission latency and safeguards data integrity.

    • Tactical reconnaissance and ISR missions

    • Urban navigation and subterranean exploration

    • Precision mapping for mission rehearsal

    • Search and rescue in GPS-compromised environments
