XNAV Visual-Inertial Navigation Module for MAVLink drones (GNSS denied)

XNAV Visual-Inertial Navigation Module for MAVLink drones (GNSS denied)

The XNAV Navigation Module provides autonomous position tracking for drones operating in any GNSS denied environment. It streams position and velocity straight to your flight controller without relying on satellite signals. Furthermore, field trials demonstrate less than 1% drift over 2 km ranges in company-reported testing. Indrones designs and builds this payload in Navi Mumbai as a Made in India solution. Consequently, your operational missions continue safely even when satellite signals face electronic jamming or spoofing.

Key Features

• The XNAV system delivers accurate positioning for aircraft operating in a GNSS denied area.

• Field testing demonstrates less than 1% drift over 2 km ranges in company-reported trials.

• The system operates on a 5 V DC power input powered the way you power a Raspberry Pi.

• Integrated global-shutter cameras track visual features cleanly without rolling shutter distortion.

• Onboard processing sends position and velocity straight to your flight controller via MAVLink.

• Powerful Raspberry Pi 5 hardware processes complex visual-inertial odometry algorithms efficiently.

Advanced Navigation Performance

This visual-inertial odometry system provides reliable performance during GNSS denied operations. In addition, the unit operates on a standard 5 V DC input supply. You supply power easily because the unit is powered the way you power a Raspberry Pi. Real-time visual tracking fuses camera images with inertial sensor data seamlessly. Moreover, standard MAVLink protocols stream precise navigation data directly to your autopilot hardware.

Applications & Deployment

This navigation system excels in commercial mapping, defense scouting, and subterranean mining inspection. For example, autonomous drones navigate dense urban canyons and indoor tunnels where GPS signals cannot reach. Additionally, military reconnaissance teams operate through aggressive signal jamming zones with confidence. Thermal XTNAV models extend these visual navigation capabilities into night operations. Therefore, operators maintain mission success across every GNSS denied mission profile.
