The main spatial geographic intelligence company announced on Tuesday a new product that can operate drones even in the areas where the GPS signal has been disturbed – which penetrates modern defenses in The age of the uninhabited vehicle war.
War Between Russia Ukraine provided a unique problem: Each army has learned how to disrupt the other GPS signals, which means that drones will fly blind. This has pushed the latest innovation from Maxar Intelligence, which is a drone guidance technology that does not depend on satellite signals from space.
Now, Maxar, a global provider of satellite intelligence and geological intelligence provider, has the ability to face GPS-Jamming through RAPTOR.
“We give drones a 3D map, we allow them to use the world 3D map for the world to compare them to feed the video and put it in its position,” Peter Wilcinsky, chief product employee in Maxar, told Fox News Digital.

The operator can use these two viewers to choose and extract very accurate coordinates of the objects on the floor with the accuracy shown within 3 meters of their real location. (Maxar Intelligence)
RAPTOR, the new camera recognition program, RAPTOR, allows the mobility and identification of ground coordinates in the disputed areas where the global GPS signals (GPS) or remote areas have been cut off.
RAPTOR can be installed to use the current camera of drones and 3D terrain data in Maxar, which is 90 million people to help the platform to move in the terrain and extract the Earth's coordinates.
While other preliminary models in terrain -based sites preceded Raptor, Maxar believes that it has the largest global range of high -resolution terrain. “We are able to get accurate to the best you can without GPS,” said Wilcinski.
The program builds a three -dimensional representation of the terrain that it slides, and is able to provide an accurate picture at night and at 120 meters.
“This is the main thing that the Ukrainian war did to the battlefield technology,” Wilcinski said.
The image shows how the guide enables an independent system to accurately navigate even without GPS. The Green Line represents the real location of the drone in the real world on a specific flight path. The red line displays website information sent by the drone without GPS and without using a guide. The yellow line displays website information sent by the drone when using a guide without GPS.

Throughout the world, countries are developing GPS technologies to calm signals to repel self -government attacks. Many Ukraine are selected, as well as large areas in Europe and the Middle East. Experts believe that one of the first things that China will do if Taiwan's invasion is to cut GPS signal to isolate the island.
Maxar data was a key To Ukraine When formulated in Russia-when the United States cut intelligence share, President Folodimir Zelinski lost access to Maxar's tracement of the Russian forces movement and the ability to assess damage.
“From the point of view of military planning, the assumption that is ahead is that in any conflict, the GPS will not be trusted anymore,” Wilcinski said.
In the western hemisphere, GPS jams were used by drug dealers to evade detection and other organized criminal operations.
The American GPS, which is considered sophisticated, is now at risk of becoming old with the update of Chinese, Russian and European systems.
The Pentagon, along with the strength of space and the army, in recent years was scrambling in search of alternatives when the GPS signal is not available in the battlefield. The issue has become sharply urgent as opponents such as China and Russia are developing their anti -distance capabilities.

The threat is not contained in remote conflict areas, but also daily life in the United States: all financial systems, emergency services and air movement can face terrible emergency situations without reaching their satellite systems.
Maxar plans to employ its RAPTOR technology for commercial and defensive purposes as countries all over the world looking for an advanced alternative to GPS.
