SPARC AI LAUNCHES UNIVERSAL GPS-DENIED NAVIGATION LAYER FOR THE GLOBAL DRONE INDUSTRY
Sparc AI Inc.
has provided
a major upgrade to
Overwatch, its flagship GPS-denied navigation product. Operators can now take
Overwatch-corrected way points, position fixes, and mission plans
and export them directly into the flight software they already use dramatically expanding where Overwatch can be deployed across commercial and defence fleets.
This release positions
Overwatch as a hardware-agnostic GPS-denied navigation "drift fix"
that can be adopted across
virtually any commercial or defence drone in service today, regardless of manufacturer, flight controller or ground control software.
Drone manufacturers in GPS-contested regions can quickly integrate and add navigation-grade accuracy to every airframe in their lineup without a single hardware change.
One workflow for single operators through to mixed fleets
With Overwatch, operators can
plan a mission, apply
artificial-intelligence-driven sensor correction
to every way point, and
export the corrected mission
to their existing flight ecosystem
with no integration program.
That means the same workflow now scales from a
single-drone commercial pilot
to a
defence organization operating mixed fleets of hundreds of aircraft
without platform-by-platform redevelopment.
15 platforms. One correction engine.
Overwatch's universal export supports the full spectrum of drone ecosystems currently used in real-world operations. Supported formats include:
-
Drone flight control systems:
ArduPilot, PX4, MAVLink;
-
Ground control stations:
QGroundControl (QGC), Litchi, UgCS;
-
Drone OEMs (original equipment manufacturers):
DJI, Autel, Parrot;
-
Robotics and development:
ROS (robot operating system);
-
Survey mapping:
Pix4D;
-
Cross-platform formats:
KML, GeoJSON, XML, CSV.
The breadth of support is strategically significant. Modern drone operations especially in defence, security and industrial settings are increasingly
multivendor and multisoftware by default. Until now, most GPS-denied solutions have been
tied to specific hardware airframes and software navigation systems, forcing expensive per-platform integration and limiting adoption.
Overwatch breaks that pattern by
decoupling the intelligence from the aircraft; the correction happens within the Overwatch platform, and the output is delivered in
whatever format the operator's ecosystem requires.
The company has also granted options to two consultants who are providing support with business development initiatives and introductions. Specifically, Ron Shenton received 125,000 options with an exercise price of $1.30, expiring on Feb. 25, 2027, and Larry Kristof was also granted 125,000 options under the same terms.
About Sparc AI Inc.
Sparc AI is a defence technology company solving one of the most critical challenges in modern autonomous systems: accurate navigation and targeting when GPS is unavailable. The company's AI-powered platform transforms the low-cost inertial sensors already inside commercial drones into precision instruments without additional hardware, external signals or complex integration. Sparc AI's software-only approach makes GPS-denied capability for target acquisition and navigation accessible at the price point and scale that modern drone operations demand, from single platforms to fleets of thousands.
We seek Safe Harbor.
