Research abstract

Skyline Nav AI Inc. helps military and non-military personnel navigate in a GPS-degraded/spoofed environment using visualization of the skyline. This technology provides a backup to GPS technology that the military and commercial markets are highly reliant upon for navigation. Currently, the only practical backup to GPS is a map and compass (dead reckoning). This presents huge operational risks in a military setting. While there have been other localization efforts based on skyline, they haven’t succeeded due to computational complexity. Skyline provides a secure and efficient visual alternate for navigation in a GPS-degraded setting.
