Maxar Intelligence has partnered with Taiwan's Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) to integrate its Raptor vision-based navigation software across the country's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector. The collaboration aims to strengthen the reliability of autonomous systems operating in environments where GPS and GNSS signals are denied or jammed.
Raptor enables drones to maintain precise navigation and extract accurate ground coordinates using only onboard cameras and Maxar's 3D terrain data, eliminating reliance on satellite signals. Earlier this year, a successful field test in Taiwan demonstrated the software's ability to sustain navigation under GPS-denied conditions.
"Taiwan is rapidly building one of the most advanced UAV industries in the world, and AIDC is one of
