PDKINEMATICS develops GNSS‑independent precision guidance systems for drones that can engage targets with sub‑meter accuracy without relying on GPS. Their modular platform includes a payload bay supporting up to 1 kg and an aerodynamic section that enables up to 200 m of horizontal flight from 500 m altitude while keeping the carrier UAV safe from counter‑UAV threats. The solution is drone‑agnostic, offering end‑to‑end design and field performance ownership.

Problem
UAV operations that rely on GPS can be disrupted by signal loss, jamming, or environments where satellite navigation is unavailable, limiting mission reliability and safety.
Solution
PDKINEMATICS provides a GNSS‑independent precision guidance system designed to operate in GPS‑denied conditions. The system integrates an aerodynamic launch module that can carry a modular payload of up to 1 kg and achieve up to 200 m of horizontal flight from a 500 m release altitude, keeping the carrier UAV out of range of counter‑UAV threats. Its guidance module delivers sub‑meter target engagement without relying on external satellite signals, enabling accurate navigation and payload delivery in contested or remote airspaces. The architecture is drone‑agnostic, allowing integration with a wide range of UAV platforms while maintaining full ownership of the hardware and software from design through field performance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UAV manufacturers, defense and security contractors, and commercial operators that require reliable navigation and payload delivery in GPS‑denied or contested airspace.
