New contract from US Air Force. Pathfinder's latest real-world results
No new expensive hardware. No live connection. Just use existing onboard sensors.
Experience GPS-Independent Navigation across all terrains through Pathfinder Land. Pathfinder is machine intelligence in action - it can seamlessly switch between GPS, camera & IMU.
Land Demo: 17 miles were driven in suburban and urban area, on highways, and in tunnels without GPS.
Pathfinder Air gives you precise latitude and longitude as often as you need, with or without GPS. Just leverage your onboard camera and IMU for take-off, flight and landing across all terrain types.
Air Demo: Drone was flown in suburban, rural and urban area without GPS.
Tall buildings can cause signal blockage, multipath errors (signal reflections), and low satellite visibility, leading to poor accuracy or complete loss of signal
Natural geological features like mountains, deep valleys, & canyons obstruct line-of-sight to satellites, leading to unreliable or unavailable GPS positioning
GPS signals cannot penetrate through earth or concrete, making tunnels & underground areas GPS-denied zones around the world
Intentional or unintentional radio frequency interference can disrupt or block GPS signals, making navigation impossible or unreliable in affected regions
AFA: "The jamming of GPS signals around Ukraine has become so severe it is even affecting satellites up to 1,200 miles above surface"
Reuters: "More than 150 aircraft spoofed over the Persian Gulf in the past 24 hours."
NYT: "Oil Tanker Collision, amid increased GPS interference, Near Strait of Hormuz Raises Security Fears."
AP: "Azerbaijani airliner crashes in Kazakhstan, killing 38. The Embraer 190 faced strong GPS jamming."

Works in All Terrains: Pathfinder™ seamlessly operates across diverse environments, from urban canyons to remote wilderness, by intelligently combining camera, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and GPS (if available) data.
Intelligent Switching: It dynamically switches between GPS, camera-based and IMU-based navigation, using a robust confidence metric, ensuring optimal performance regardless of terrain or feature availability. No more urban canyon, GPS-jamming or IMU-drifting.
All-Weather and Lighting Conditions: Pathfinder™ functions reliably in any weather or lighting scenario, including low-light or visually challenging environments by leveraging night vision cameras.
Real-Time Absolute Positioning: Unlike traditional visual-inertial odometry that provides relative positioning which can drift over long distances, Pathfinder™ delivers precise absolute location coordinates (latitude and longitude) with every frame of imagery—whether you need updates every millisecond or every 10 minutes.
Scalable and GPS-Independent: By leveraging preexisting and pre-downloaded satellite datasets from around the world, Pathfinder™ provides a scalable solution for global navigation without relying on GPS, cellular, or Wi-Fi connectivity. Pathfinder's SDK can run on the edge.
Open Architecture: Compatible with a wide range of industry-leading hardware architectures, including CPUs (ARM, x86, Apple M-Series) and GPUs (NVIDIA CUDA, AMD ROCm, Intel GPUs). Pathfinder also supports other specialized hardware acceleration devices, ensuring optimal performance across modern computing environments.

Imagine waking up one morning and your phone’s little blue dot has vanished, delivery trucks are circling parking lots like lost puppies, planes can’t find airports, and even your morning coffee no longer gets delivered on time. Financial transactions? Delayed. Emergency services? Scrambling with paper maps. That’s what happens when GPS—the unsung hero of our daily lives—goes down. Scary? Yup. Hilarious at times? Definitely. Essential reading? You bet.
In Recalculating: Life When GPS Goes Dark, GPS vulnerability researcher Kanwar Singh takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the hidden world of navigation technologies—and our dangerously fragile dependence on GPS. Spanning stories from lost hikers and jam-happy truckers to real-life airplane mysteries and battlefield electronic warfare, this book lays bare how GPS keeps nearly every sector ticking: transportation, banking, emergency response, power grids, agriculture, and more.
Blending laugh-out-loud anecdotes (from botched first dates to van drivers wandering mountain goat tracks) with eye-opening interviews and expert insights, Singh explains—in plain English—just how thin our safety net really is. Readers will meet everyday heroes, pioneers in navigation tech, and the military brass losing sleep over a single point of failure. The chapters travel from ancient sailors navigating by stars, all the way to modern wars in Ukraine and Middle East, where GPS outages are costing lives.
But this isn’t doom and gloom. Singh arms readers, policymakers, and business leaders with practical solutions: a toolbox of alternatives, from old-school compasses and celestial navigation to quantum, visual, and hybrid systems now being tested around the world (including Singh’s own Pathfinder technology). The message? GPS is amazing, but it shouldn’t be our only plan. There’s hope if we demand resilience, invest in innovation, and remember those basic skills—like asking for directions or reading a map.
Breezy, under 100 pages, and surprisingly fun, Recalculating: Life When GPS Goes Dark is your guide to avoiding chaos if the satellites ever go silent. Whether you’re a commuter, a tech leader, a lawmaker, or just someone who hates getting lost, this book will make you laugh, make you think, and help you prepare. So, don’t take GPS for granted—because when the blue dot disappears, you’ll wish you hadn’t.
Perfect for anyone who wants a clear, entertaining look at the invisible tech holding their world together—and what to do when the GPS stops recalculating. Grab your copy and get ready to find your way!
