Resilient Navigation and Target Cueing for Small UAS
NexusNav is a GNSS-resilient navigation, rangefinding, and target-cueing system for small UAS operating in contested or degraded electromagnetic environments.
Core Architecture
Navigation that does not depend on GNSS
NexusNav fuses visual-inertial odometry, inertial sensing, and LiDAR-assisted navigation on VOXL 2 edge compute with PX4 flight-control integration — keeping small UAS oriented, located, and mission-capable when satellite navigation is jammed, spoofed, or unavailable.
