We develop next‑generation aerial robotics solutions that provide resilient, autonomous operation for UAVs in GNSS‑denied environments. Our AI‑powered vision‑based navigation enables reliable flight in electronic‑warfare‑congested areas, and the plug‑and‑play module is compatible with MAVLink and NMEA‑supporting firmware such as PX4 and Ardupilot.

Problem
UAVs operating in environments where GNSS signals are jammed or spoofed cannot rely on traditional satellite navigation, leading to loss of control, mission failure, and safety risks. Existing navigation solutions often require bulky hardware or extensive integration effort, limiting their use across diverse drone platforms.
Solution
Stridedynamics offers an AI-powered, vision‑based navigation module that enables autonomous flight in GNSS‑denied and electronic‑warfare‑congested areas. The plug‑and‑play unit integrates compact sensors and onboard compute to deliver real‑time visual odometry and obstacle avoidance without external infrastructure. It is compatible with MAVLink and NMEA‑compatible flight stacks such as PX4 and Ardupilot, allowing seamless integration across rotary, hybrid VTOL, and fixed‑wing UAVs. By providing a SWaP‑optimized, agnostic platform, the solution enhances resilience and operational reliability for a wide range of aerial missions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UAV manufacturers, defense and security contractors, and commercial drone operators that require reliable autonomous flight in GNSS‑denied or contested environments.
