BlueSpace.ai
BlueSpace.ai provides assured positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) software for autonomous systems operating in GPS-denied environments. Its BlueSpace Positioning System (BPS) leverages 4D predictive perception and direct Doppler lidar measurements to achieve less than 0.3% cross-track error, significantly outperforming the industry standard of roughly 1%. The AI-powered platform also delivers real-time mapping and situational awareness without requiring additional hardware.

Problem
Autonomous vehicles and military systems often struggle with reliable navigation in environments where GPS signals are weak, jammed, or unavailable, such as urban canyons, underground tunnels, and contested battlefields. Because GPS serves as a single point of failure for most systems, degraded signals can cause critical navigation errors, mission failure, or safety incidents.
Solution
BlueSpace.ai provides assured positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) software that enables autonomous systems to operate reliably without continuous GPS input. The BlueSpace Positioning System (BPS) uses 4D predictive perception and direct Doppler lidar measurements to achieve high-accuracy relative positioning with less than 0.3% cross-track error, compared to the industry standard of roughly 1%. The software works with industrial-grade IMUs to reduce size, weight, power, and cost, and only requires a GPS ping once per minute instead of every second. BPS also provides real-time mapping and situational awareness capabilities without additional hardware, enabling verifiable safety and scalable deployment across defense, mining, and rail applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and military organizations, autonomous vehicle developers, and operators in the mining and rail industries that require reliable navigation in GPS-denied or contested environments.
