OMNInav by OKSI: A Breakthrough in GPS-Denied Navigation for Unmanned Aerial Systems

February 6th, 2025

In an era where unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are pivotal in modern conflicts, the ability to navigate effectively in GPS-denied environments has become a critical requirement. Precise navigation is not only important for flying out and returning safely, but for arriving and observing points of interest with onboard sensors. Without drift-free navigation, a platform will end up arriving at the wrong point and observing the wrong area.

At OKSI, we’ve developed OMNInav, a cutting-edge solution that delivers precise and reliable navigation without relying on GPS by combining multiple navigation techniques to maximize performance across a wide range of environments and scenarios. This article highlights the innovative features of OMNInav and its role in addressing the challenges of modern UAS missions. It also highlights its robustness to various environmental and geographical problems sets where most other solutions struggle.

Overview of OMNInav

OMNInav is a core component of the Omniscience drone autonomy framework, delivering precise, real-time, multi-modality positional awareness to enable autonomous operations in GPS-denied environments. By integrating seamlessly with popular flight stacks like PX4, ArduPilot, and custom variants, OMNInav replaces GPS input, allowing the autopilot to handle navigation with accurate positional data. It supports a wide range of unmanned airframes, including rotary, fixed-wing, and VTOL aircraft.

Key Features:

  • Modular Design: Seamless integration with existing UAS hardware and software systems.
  • Modular Software Solution: Accelerated containerized software solution ready to deploy on your systems existing companion computer.
  • COTS and Custom Hardware Available: Low SWaP, 70x50x50 mm, weighing 300 grams, and as low as 5 watts of power. Day & Night capable with LWIR camera option.
  • Advanced AI Models: Highly trained AI-based satellite registration models for cross-modality navigation, supporting visible and infrared imagers.
  • Flexible Deployment: Available as a software-only solution or combined hardware and software package.

Understanding GPS-Denied Navigation Methods: Explaining the Weaknesses of Single-Modality Solutions

OMNInav addresses limitations in traditional GPS-denied navigation methods by integrating multiple advanced techniques. Below is a detailed overview of commonly used visual navigation methods and their drawbacks.

1. Optical Flow

  • Definition: Tracks pixel motion in an image stream to estimate relative velocity.
  • Advantages: Computationally efficient and simple to implement.
  • Drawbacks: Does not perform well at higher altitudes and in settings with rapid motion.  Usually requires the use of a laser altimeter to properly scale state estimates.
  • Real-World Example: A drone navigates a smoke-covered battlefield and cannot rely on optical flow alone due to obscured visuals and erratic movement caused by explosions or turbulence.  Sending out laser altimeter energy to get altitude information gives away the drone’s position.


Figure 1: Illustration of optical flow in UAS navigation. (1) a real-world scene from the UAS camera with overlayed optical flow vectors, (2) a plot representing optical flow data, and (3) a diagram showing how the UAS’s field of view (FOV) changes with tilt angles.

2. Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO)

  • Definition: Combines camera and inertial sensor data to estimate motion and position.
  • Advantages: Reduced drift compared to optical flow alone.
  • Drawbacks: VIO can struggle with scale inaccuracies during initialization and is more difficult to implement reliably due to it needing highly synchronized inertial data.
  • Real-World Example: A drone flies to a target using only software synchronized camera and inertial data, leading to low-accuracy scale estimation and missing the target by several hundred meters.


Figure 2: Depiction of Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO). The image illustrates how a UAS combines data from its camera (camera pose and visual measurements) with inertial measurements from the IMU (inertial measurement unit).

3. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

  • Definition: Builds a map of the environment while simultaneously localizing the vehicle’s position within the map.
  • Advantages: Provides accurate navigation when flying locally in areas without a prior map.
  • Drawbacks: More computationally demanding in terms of compute and memory to store a live map.
  • Real-World Example: A drone flies several low-altitude orbits over various compounds and can re-localize itself when revisiting a prior orbit.  The additional compute and memory requirements means the drone has a more capable offboard processor in addition to the flight controller.


Figure 3: Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) in action. The top panel shows a UAS’s camera view with detected visual features highlighted in green, while the bottom panel illustrates a real-time map of the environment generated by the SLAM algorithm. The map includes key structural features and demonstrates loop closure.

4. Feature-Based Localization

  • Definition: Uses pre-stored satellite maps to determine absolute position and correct drift.
  • Advantages: Provides robust, drift-free global positioning.
  • Drawbacks: Requires maps to be loaded to the vehicle.  Provides lower frequency updates and holes in areas where no matches can be found.
  • Real-World Example: A drone transits a long very distance and resets its drift as it flies to arrive at the target with very low error, letting it observe the point of interest autonomously without a pilot fixing the camera.

 
Figure 4: Example of OMNInav’s map-based feature matching for position correction and drift reset. The image illustrates a UAS using feature matching to align its live LWIR camera data (left) with a pre-stored visible map (right).

5. Military-Grade Navigation Systems

  • Definition: Advanced systems used in military applications, often leveraging custom hardware and complex algorithms.
  • Advantages: Highly accurate and reliable in GPS-denied environments.
  • Drawbacks: These systems are prohibitively expensive, bulky, and often proprietary, making them unsuitable for broader commercial applications or cost-sensitive defense missions.
  • Real-World Example: High-end inertial navigation systems (INS) used in military drones provide reliable navigation in GPS-jammed environments but require extensive calibration and are not viable for smaller, lower-budget UAS operations.

OMNInav’s Innovative and Multi-Modality Approach

OMNInav bridges the technology gaps of traditional navigation methods by combining multiple advanced techniques into a unified, multi-modal system. By integrating SLAM for models trained on large-scale satellite imagery datasets for global localization, and robust sensor fusion, OMNInav eliminates the weaknesses of single-method approaches. This innovative design ensures drift-free, accurate navigation across diverse flight profiles, making it ideal for both commercial and defense applications.

Key Features:

  • SLAM for Precise Local Navigation: Creates detailed maps and tracks positions in real-time, providing high frequency positional updates.
  • AI-Based Feature Matching for Global Localization: Provides state-of-the-art, zero-shot global localization by matching observed features to stored datasets and then backing out absolute position to reset drift.
  • Robust Sensor Fusion for Optimal Performance: Calibrates and fuses all available onboard sensors such as airspeed, inertial, and more to provide optimal positional estimates.

Addressing Real-World Challenges

OMNInav’s capabilities excel in overcoming the toughest navigation challenges in GPS-denied environments:

1. Low-Light and Night Operations

Trained on visible and infrared imagery, OMNInav ensures reliable navigation regardless of lighting conditions, camera modality, and map type.

Figure 6. OMNInav is robust, handling seasonal variations from lush greenery to snow-covered terrain.

3. Man-Made Environmental Transformations

Adapts to rapidly changing environments such as construction zones and areas of conflict, ensuring robust navigation accuracy even with very old imagery.  OMNInav has been tested with imagery up to 10 years old successfully even with large-scale map differences.


Figure 7. OMNInav accurately registers navigation points despite extensive urban damage.

Competitive Advantage

OMNInav’s unique multi-modal design ensures it outperforms competitors in GPS-denied environments by:

World’s Toughest Practical Shooting Competition, Finnish Brutality, Attracts Shooters from Around the World

February 6th, 2025

The Finnish military specialist store Varusteleka organizes the internationally acclaimed Finnish Brutality shooting competition for the eighth time on February 15-16. This is the coldest match so far, and in addition to shooting and other military skills, the competitors need to know how to survive and thrive in winter conditions. Because of the challenging conditions, the number of competitors was limited to 160 instead of last year’s 200.

Varusteleka is one of the biggest military and outdoor specialist stores in Europe. Their products are used by professional soldiers and law enforcement officers along with active military reservists, competitive shooters, and avid outdoors people.

Finnish Brutality is an international 2-gun action match that tests the contestants’ physical fitness and marksmanship. Unlike practical shooting in general, the stages are longer and contain a lot more tough physical challenges, such as sandbag carrying, crawling in difficult terrain, wrestling, dragging heavy objects, and kettlebell throwing. You might also have to dip in water and be able to shoot close to explosions and flames. The competition takes place at Lopen Ampumaurheilukeskus, which is an outdoor shooting range in Southern Finland.

This year, the Finnish winter weather brings extra challenges as the participants have to be able to function in cold and wet conditions. You can find further information and rules on the Varusteleka website.

Finland has a very active military reservist and practical shooting scene, which ensures the popularity of these competitions. However, Finnish Brutality also attracts shooters from many other countries. In addition to competitive shooters, the match brings large-caliber YouTube influencers with millions of followers to Finland, this time e.g. Forgotten Weapons, James Reeves (TFB TV), and PSR from the USA, and Polenar Tactical from Slovenia. These types of Brutality matches also take place in the USA and Slovenia.

Due to its action-packed nature, the competition is also exciting for spectators. We can also arrange a tour of our headquarters in Helsinki. Please inform us of your attendance by February 13 at the latest (jari.ikaheimonen@varusteleka.fi). Bring your own eye and ear protection if you have them. Please let us know if you need loaner gear, and we will provide them for you. 

United Operational Test Team Conducts First Dual, External GBU-54 Release

February 6th, 2025

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. (AFNS) —  

The United Operational Test Team conducted the first ever dual, external release of a GBU-54 Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition from an F-35.

The GBU-54 is a precision-guided bomb that uses laser energy to accurately strike static and moving surface targets, making it a valuable addition to the F-35’s air-to-surface munitions catalog. The integration and successful test of the LJDAM on the F-35 marks a key milestone in the continuing effort to fully integrate the LJDAM on all versions of the F-35.

The weapon delivery event was conducted using an F-35C from the Navy’s Air Test and Evaluation Squadron 9 Detachment at Edwards Air Force Base, California.

“The capability to carry LJDAMs externally will greatly increase the air-to-surface strike capability of the aircraft,” said Cmdr. Michael “Squintz” Procelli, aircraft pilot. “This WDE expands the Joint Strike Fighter’s flexibility when countering asymmetrical threats with more kinetic options.”

The test was also designed to stress the Stores Management System, the software responsible for managing the weapons loaded on the aircraft and to determine how it reacts to releasing multiple of these weapons in quick succession.

Two weapons were employed against a remote controlled High-Speed Moving Target. The bombs were guided to the target via the onboard laser housed inside the F-35’s Electro Optical Targeting System. This is the first sensor suite to combine forward looking infrared, infrared search and track and a combat laser, providing improved situational awareness over legacy sensor pods to deliver GPS and laser-guided munitions.

Consistent with the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center’s responsibility of testing system effectiveness in operationally relevant environments, the weapons were employed on the HSMT with the help of a joint tactical air controller, simulating a common scenario that can be expected on the battlefield.

Testing the safe separation and guidance of the weapon offers valuable insight into the usability of the F-35’s strike capability. The successful completion of this test demonstrates the F-35’s ability to accurately engage targets in a dynamic and challenging environment and highlights the advanced capabilities of the EOTS system.
