What happened

GPS has become such a routine part of flying a drone that it’s easy to forget how vulnerable it can be. Jam a satellite signal, feed a receiver fake coordinates, and an autonomous aircraft or ground vehicle could suddenly struggle to figure out where it is. Elsight wants to change that with a new positioning technology designed to help uncrewed systems determine their location even when GPS is unavailable, jammed, or spoofed.
