AimLock has partnered with Maxar Intelligence to solve one of the most important challenges in today’s battlespace: GPS vulnerability in autonomous weapons systems.

Modern weapons systems rely heavily on GPS for positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) and for targeting, but GPS can be easy to disrupt. Enemy forces can jam signals with simple equipment, spoof coordinates to misdirect weapons and create dead zones that render GPS unusable.

And the stakes couldn’t be higher—mission success and soldier safety hang in the balance.

Our solution: Visual-based software integration for next-gen GPS resilience

AimLock and Maxar are tackling GPS vulnerability head-on. We’ve been working to integrate Maxar’s powerful Raptor software into AimLock’s Core Targeting Modules (CTMs) to enable precise, accurate operation even when GPS isn’t available.

Raptor is a game-changer. Instead of relying on GPS, it uses Maxar’s massive database of global 3D terrain data—covering over 100 million sq km of the Earth’s surface—to provide the autonomous system with an accurate reference for aerial position and ground coordinates. Using native airborne ISR cameras, the CTM can cross-reference those coordinates with Maxar’s global 3D terrain data in real-time.

When GPS fails, Raptor keeps AimLock’s systems on target. And we’ve got the test data to prove it.

What this means for warfighters

Here’s what this combined solution brings to the battlefield:

• Assured PNT when GPS fails: Existing AimLock systems integrated with Raptor will maintain precise positioning and accurate ground coordinates even in GPS-denied environments.

• Real-time visual navigation: Using only onboard cameras and Maxar’s terrain data, systems can navigate with extreme precision. It’s like having a human navigator who knows every inch of the battlefield.

• Seamless integration: We’ve designed our solution to work with existing CTM hardware and software systems, which ties into AimLock’s core philosophy. We were founded on a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) for all our products. This ensures interoperability, upgradability, and cost-efficiency through standardized, modular components for all AimLock solutions.

A battlefield-ready solution

This upgrade can be integrated with all AimLock deployed products. Our MOSA approach means we can deploy these capabilities without lengthy development cycles.

This partnership represents more than just a technical solution—it provides our warfighters with a critical battlefield advantage. The message to our adversaries is clear: jamming GPS won’t stop our autonomous systems.
