•Neuromorphic Camera Helps Drones Navigate GPS-free
83% Informative
GPS is the bedrock of most modern positioning systems, but it can’t always be relied on.
Visual navigation systems use cameras to scan the terrain below an aircraft and work out where it is.
This takes considerable computing and data resources that put it out of reach for smaller, less expensive vehicles.
NILEQ , a subsidiary of British missile-maker MBDA , makes low-power visual navigation system that relies on neuromorphic cameras.
The companies are planning to start flight trials of the combined navigation system later this year .
The goal of getting the product into customers hands by the middle of 2025 is to get the product in customers hands.
“A lot of customers in this space want something they can just basically plug in and there’s no big learning curve,” says Shaw .
