The Visual Navigation System (AVN) enables MTS drone positioning in GNSS-denied and jammed environments, ensuring reliable navigation despite electronic warfare. By integrating multiple sensor inputs, AVN provides fully autonomous navigation without relying on external signals, making it a critical solution for mission continuity in contested areas.

AVN combines an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for dead reckoning, optical flow computer vision for visual odometry and map-matching algorithms to correct positional drift. Data from these sources is processed using a Kalman filter and transmitted to the LPP autopilot for autonomous drone navigation. AVN ensures jamming-proof operations, enabling accurate localization without GPS and maintaining uninterrupted UAV functionality in challenging environments.

LPP has mastered Optical Tracking and, combined with Visual Navigation, enables the MTS drone to not only autonomously reach its destination, but also recognize the target, and execute the mission’s final phase.
