Navigate Beyond GPS: The Future of Drone Technology

Innovations in drone technology are emerging, particularly with the development of devices capable of navigating without GPS or direct communication. Companies are exploring ways to prevent interference, such as jamming by adversaries. Notably, some military units are adopting unconventional measures like physical modifications to aircraft, aimed at enhancing AI and machine learning-based guidance systems through advanced object and scene matching capabilities. This strategy reflects a shift towards using visual algorithms for navigation, which, while rudimentary in some applications, signify a growing trend in military technology to rely on alternative guidance systems that can adapt to unexpected situations more effectively than humans.
