Trillium Engineering has unveiled its innovative GD-Loc technology, a cutting-edge targeting solution designed for environments where GPS signals are unavailable, to the U.S. Army.
By utilizing the HD55 gimbal alongside Clarity-HD technology, integrated with a commercial drone, the GD-Loc system consistently maintained a target location error of under six meters, showcasing extraordinary performance even in difficult conditions.
This demonstration emphasized GD-Loc’s capability to deliver high target location accuracy during both day adn night operations, highlighting its potential to substantially improve mission-critical tasks for military personnel in areas with limited or compromised GPS access.
The GD-Loc system leverages elegant computer vision algorithms to swiftly generate accurate geo-coordinates for monitored objects, even when the navigation system faces ample position and heading inaccuracies.
This advanced functionality is vital for missions in GPS-denied environments, where platforms depend on Alternate Positioning Navigation Timing (A-PNT) systems for navigation.
Throughout a multi-day, government-monitored testing event in a GPS-denied area, Trillium, in collaboration with Leidos, successfully executed 28 flights and gathered target data points for each.
Dr. N Andrew Browning, Chief Technology Officer at Trillium, stated, “We take immense pride in the groundbreaking outcomes achieved with GD-Loc. This technology marks a notable leap forward in geospatial intelligence and holds the promise of delivering essential capabilities to our warfighters. We are dedicated to advancing our research and development efforts to further refine GD-Loc and provide innovative solutions that address the evolving demands of our clients.”
