DroneShield unveils new navigation technology

The company has launched a new product, designed to enhance navigation and sensing capability.

The company has launched a new product, designed to enhance navigation and sensing capability.

ASX-listed DroneShield has announced the rollout of CompassOne — a self-contained navigation system, built for fixed site, vehicle and marine applications. 

The new product is designed to provide military-grade location, orientation and direction sensing capability for both static and moving platforms.

 
 

According to DroneShield, CompassOne is compatible with global navigation satellite systems, and can be used in counter-UAS operations and general situations requiring satellite navigation.

The platform is built to withstand harsh environments, leveraging military-grade connectors, stainless-steel hardware, and an aluminium underside.

The device can be integrated with other devices, including DroneShield’s DroneSentry system.

“CompassOne, with its ruggedness and incorporation of advanced technologies, integrates seamlessly within DroneShield’s product ecosystem, and equally with third-party systems as a stand-alone product,” Oleg Vornik, DroneShield CEO, said.

The launch of CompassOne comes just a week after DroneShield unveiled DroneSim — a lightweight and rapidly deployable UAS/drone simulator, built to mimic common drone signals in support of C-UAS testing and validation.

DroneSim, which can be used to generate signals across aerial (UAV), ground (UGV) and water surface (USV) environments, is designed for durability, leveraging a ruggedised hard case with MIL-SPEC connectors.

The device can be operated remotely to support system testing in challenging drone flight environments.
