AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION FOR
AIR, LAND, AND SEA VEHICLES
SPARROW provides navigation independent from GPS and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for vehicles in air, land, and sea domains. Comprised of a digital processing unit and camera, Sparrow combines computational algorithms with state-of-the-art optics to enable mission-critical position, navigation, and timing in GPS-denied environments.

Key Features
Autonomous
Sparrow enables any vehicle to autonomously traverse a given domain using augmented celestial navigation.
Accurate
Sparrow enables any vehicle to accurately reach a target area of less than 1km by 1km.
Undeniable
Sparrow’s passive optical system guarantees navigation immune to denial, jamming, and spoofing by outside actors.
Integrated
A bolt-on hardware solution, Sparrow adds autonomous navigation, positioning, and timing to existing vehicle systems.
