Problem
Commercial drones face increasing threats from GPS jamming and spoofing, which can disrupt navigation and compromise flight safety, especially in critical applications like medical aid and agriculture. Reliance on GPS makes these aerial platforms vulnerable to signal interference, limiting their operational capabilities in contested or unreliable environments.
Solution
Flare Bright's Software Enhanced Navigation System (SENS) provides a GPS-free navigation solution for drones, utilizing advanced inertial technology and applied machine learning to ensure reliable operation in GPS-denied environments. The system enhances existing navigation sensors, allowing drones to maintain accurate positioning and continue flying even when GPS signals are lost or compromised. SENS comprises Intera, software that enhances already-fitted navigation sensors, and Endura, software that auto-configures the RTH (Return to Home) threshold to prevent losses due to battery exhaustion. Flare Bright also offers rapid flight modeling services and evaluation, creating AI-optimized physics/maths models of aircraft and systems to analyze and optimize performance.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes commercial drone operators in sectors such as medical aid, agriculture, and firefighting, as well as aerospace companies and defense organizations seeking resilient, GPS-independent navigation solutions.
