At Skyline Nav AI, we have built a GPS-independent precise navigation solution for ground vehicles, drones, boats and aircraft. Our product, Pathfinder™️, harnesses the power of computer vision algorithms and reference datasets to navigate and position effectively without relying on GPS, cellular, or Wi-Fi. Pathfinder™️ can localize you within 10 to 100 centimeters, with no GPS, cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity on land, air and sea. Serving both commercial and military needs, Pathfinder™️ ensures you stay on course by capturing what is around you to geolocate and to fill in the gaps when GPS fails. Our customers and partners include the US Air Force, NASA, US Army, BAE Systems, Kearfott Corporation, Draper Labs, MIT, Cornell University, NGA, MassChallenge, Move America, CDL, FedTech, DCode, NSF and others. We are an 100% personnel-owned and operated American company.
