An onboard navigation unit that keeps aerial platforms located when satellite positioning is unavailable, degraded or actively contested — indoors, underground, in urban canyons and in denied airspace.
Every unmanned platform in service today determines its position from a satellite signal that arrives weaker than a household lightbulb seen from orbit, and carries no proof of origin. When that signal is denied, the aircraft cannot hold position, cannot navigate and cannot return home.
The EAE Navigation Unit replaces the platform's existing positioning module and connects through the same interface. Nothing else on the aircraft changes — no rewiring, no structural modification, no new operator workload.
Fits the existing module bay and uses the same connector. Installation is a tool-light swap measured in minutes, not a redesign programme.
Position is derived from local infrastructure rather than orbital signals, so the platform stays located in environments where satellite navigation cannot reach.
Platforms share position information with one another, so operational coverage extends well beyond the reach of any single ground installation.
The same airspace, the same threat, twice — once with conventional navigation, once with the EAE unit fitted.
Figures describe the airborne unit as fitted to a standard multirotor platform. Performance varies with deployment geometry and operating environment.

NATO now mandates AI and GPS-denied capability across member programmes, and defence AI investment has grown 450% since 2020. Incumbents hold the anti-jam hardware patents but almost none of the AI ones — a gap we estimate stays open two to three years. IP is European-owned, filed from Amsterdam.
