Ukraine Gives Drones Vision-Based Navigation to Push Past Heavy Jamming

Ukraine is exploring a new set of eyes for its drones, aiming to take them beyond GPS navigation.

The Optical System of Coordinates with Automatic Relocalization, or OSCAR, uses onboard cameras to match live imagery with mapped landmarks, allowing a drone to determine its position without relying on satellite signals.

Once processed, the data is fed directly to the autopilot, enabling navigation through contested and degraded flight environments.
