Drones that navigate, coordinate, and finish the mission — without GPS or a ground link.
Visentrix is autonomy software for UAV swarms built for contested environments. Our stack keeps drones flying when satellite navigation is jammed and the command link is denied — on-board, with no cloud dependency. It installs as a navigation module on existing platforms.
Autonomy fails exactly where it matters most
GPS jamming and spoofing are routine in contested airspace — not edge cases. When satellite navigation is denied and the link to the ground station drops, conventional drones abort, drift, or return home.
The same gap appears across civil missions: disaster response, infrastructure inspection, and operations in signal-degraded urban canyons, where the systems that should help are the first to fail.
Visentrix is built for that moment — so the aircraft keeps navigating and keeps working through the denial, rather than giving up.
A navigation and coordination stack that runs on-board
Core functions execute on embedded hardware on the aircraft — no cloud, no external positioning reference required. Validation status is stated for each.
GPS-denied navigation
Visual-inertial odometry fused with map-based localization holds position when satellite navigation is unavailable. Drift is bounded and corrected against locally stored map data — no cloud, no live reference.
Simulation-validated · single real-flight evidenceRelative swarm positioning
Ultra-wideband ranging lets swarm members hold their relative geometry without a ground link — the basis for coordinated flight under electromagnetic denial.
Two-drone real-flight · larger swarms in simulationSwarm coordination
A consensus-based master election keeps the swarm organised, with formation control and collision avoidance. If the lead aircraft is lost, the role can fail over to another — designed so a single loss does not stop the swarm.
Simulation-validated · real-flight failover pendingMission continuation on comms loss
When the command link is denied, the aircraft continues the planned mission autonomously instead of returning home, and resynchronises its data when contact is regained. Operators stay on the loop where a link exists.
Simulation-validated · core path proven in real flightOn-board perception & reporting
Edge AI runs object detection and tracking on the aircraft, and an on-board vision-language model condenses the scene into structured situation reports — fully offline, with open, ITAR-free models.
Detection in real flight · reporting bench-validatedRetrofit navigation module
Visentrix is autonomy software, not a fixed airframe. It integrates with existing ArduPilot- and PX4-based platforms as an add-on, validated across a range of heterogeneous aircraft — from small multicopters to long-endurance designs.
Platform-agnostic · European · ITAR-freePosition from what the camera sees
Instead of trusting a satellite signal, Visentrix derives an absolute position from the camera image, matched against map data stored on the aircraft. Visual-inertial odometry carries the position between map fixes, so the estimate stays bounded rather than drifting away. No satellite signal, no cloud, no pre-built environment map — an approach that is inherently resistant to jamming and spoofing.
Swarm members hold their relative geometry over ultra-wideband ranging, with no datalink to the ground — enabling coordinated flight under electromagnetic denial. The full stack runs on commodity embedded compute on the aircraft.
The underlying navigation methods are the subject of pending patent applications, developed and owned in Europe.
European-developed, ITAR-free
Built for European operators who need autonomy without foreign export-control dependencies.
Developed in Europe
Software, architecture, and intellectual property developed and owned in Germany.
ITAR-free
No US-controlled technology in the stack; the on-board AI models are open and ITAR-free.
No cloud dependency
Core navigation, coordination, and perception run on the aircraft — no external service required in flight.
Dual-use by design
One navigation core for civil and security missions alike. Autonomy keeps the mission moving while the operator stays on the loop wherever a link exists.
Let’s talk
We are looking for partners — system integrators, OEM manufacturers, research institutions, and operators — who see the capability gap Visentrix addresses and want to explore it together.
