- AgEagle Aerial Systems (UAVS, Financial) introduces autonomous drone navigation without GNSS/GPS signals.
- The updated eBee VISION software enhances drone performance in challenging environments.
- Key features include improved ground detection and smart motor temperature management.
WICHITA, Kan., April 24, 2025 - AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (UAVS) has unveiled a significant update to its eBee VISION application software, enabling drones to navigate autonomously without relying on GNSS/GPS signals. This pioneering advancement is designed to maintain precise navigation capabilities even in environments where satellite signals are unavailable or unreliable, a common issue in urban centers, near critical infrastructures, or contested zones with electronic interferences.
The software features autonomous position updates using a camera and map-based interface, providing a dependable navigation alternative when GNSS signals are compromised. This development is crucial for defense personnel, public safety agencies, and industrial teams operating in high-risk environments where traditional navigation systems often fail.
Key technical enhancements in the updated eBee VISION software include:
- Optical Flow Stabilization for better target tracking.
- Improved ground detection systems to prevent false landings.
- Smart motor temperature management to prevent overheating.
- Real-time flight time and return-to-home estimates for better mission planning.
- Adaptive behavior following GNSS recovery or visual repositioning.
Bill Irby, CEO of AgEagle, highlighted the software update as a major leap forward in drone operations, particularly benefiting tactical operations and industrial inspections in complex scenarios. The innovations ensure that AgEagle continues to lead in UAV technology, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in drone navigation.
AgEagle remains committed to further developments and refinements, maintaining its position at the forefront of UAV innovation through its robust platform and software solutions tailored for various industries including defense, public safety, and commercial sectors.
