An Israeli company, Wonder Robotics, has successfully demonstrated its artificial intelligence-based software that enables drones to autonomously land on moving ships, even under severe GPS jamming conditions. The technology relies solely on visual perception software, allowing drones to navigate and land without satellite signals, overcoming potential electronic warfare interference.
This development makes Israel and the United States the only nations to have mastered this specific GPS-free, vision-only drone landing capability. The Israeli Military Channel reported on the achievement, highlighting its potential for expanding drone applications in challenging combat and maritime environments where traditional navigation methods often fail due to GPS signal blocking.
Previously, the U.S. Navy had conducted successful tests of a tactical drone capable of landing on a moving ship's deck without satellite navigation, utilizing similar computer vision principles.
