ALLEN, Texas and WASHINGTON, Oct. 12, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Elsight, a provider of mission-critical connectivity for uncrewed systems, has unveiled a groundbreaking positioning solution designed to operate in GPS-denied environments. The new technology, which will be showcased at the AUSA 2026 conference, addresses a critical vulnerability in contested environments where GPS signals can be jammed or spoofed.
The Elsight Positioning capability is built on a patented multi-signal fusion solution that combines cellular network measurements with additional inputs such as GPS, motion, and velocity vectors. This approach ensures high precision geolocation, even when GPS signals are unavailable or compromised. The system is particularly useful for uncrewed platforms operating in air, land, and maritime domains, where reliable positioning is crucial.
The new solution offers several key features. It operates on a cellular-based core, making it inherently resistant to GPS jamming, spoofing, and electronic interference. The multi-source fusion engine continuously layers in additional available inputs to improve accuracy and resilience. Additionally, the system includes active GPS spoofing detection, which cross-references GPS against cellular-derived position data in real time. An alert is automatically fired when the two diverge beyond a threshold.
One of the standout benefits of Elsight's Positioning capability is its ability to operate with no GPS, no internet, no visual reference, and no communications link. This makes it particularly useful in darkness, at sea, and in conflict zones where traditional GPS signals may be unreliable or non-existent. The solution is also compact and cost-effective, delivering reliable positioning with or without GPS.
Elsight's Positioning application is fully integrated into Halo, the company's flagship mission enablement product. Halo extends uncrewed operations beyond visual line of sight, free from ground infrastructure constraints, across air, land, and maritime domains. The technology intelligently bonds cellular, satellite, and RF communications into a resilient connectivity layer that always picks the optimal path.
Battle-tested with over 500,000 operational hours across 100+ active customers deployed in complex, high-intensity combat environments, Halo is included on the DCMA Blue List. This robust track record underscores the reliability and effectiveness of Elsight's technology in real-world scenarios.
Elsight's Positioning capability is designed to add resilience without requiring large, heavy, or prohibitively expensive navigation equipment. It operates seamlessly with standard GPS performance in normal operations and provides an additional layer of resilience when operating in GPS-denied environments. The solution is small, lightweight, and affordable, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
In summary, Elsight's new Positioning capability is a significant advancement in uncrewed system technology, offering high precision geolocation in challenging environments. With its built-in active GPS spoofing detection and multi-source fusion engine, the solution addresses critical vulnerabilities in contested environments, ensuring reliable positioning for uncrewed platforms across air, land, and maritime domains.
