Pendulum provides software-defined PNT solutions that ensure continuous geolocation when GPS is degraded or denied. Their Navigate product uses existing inertial sensors and AI models to generate accurate position, navigation, and timing data on current devices. This capability safeguards personnel and assets by maintaining situational awareness in environments affected by jamming or spoofing.

Problem
GPS signals are susceptible to interference, jamming, and spoofing, rendering them unreliable in contested environments and creating a single point of failure for operations that rely on precise geolocation. Alternative navigation (APNT) solutions often require additional hardware, are power-intensive, and may depend on visual data, limiting their utility in various operational scenarios.
Solution
Pendulum Navigate offers a software-defined alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solution that provides continuous geolocation in GPS-denied environments. The solution uses existing inertial sensors on devices like smartphones, watches, and UAVs, combined with proprietary AI models, to generate a continuous point on the map with confidence intervals. Pendulum Navigate is hardware-agnostic, operating on existing devices without requiring new sensors, visual data, or connectivity. This approach ensures resilient and scalable geolocation for personnel, assets, and autonomous systems across land, sea, and air.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes military and government organizations requiring assured PNT in contested environments, as well as commercial enterprises needing reliable geolocation for asset tracking and personnel safety where GPS is unreliable or unavailable.
