AI Navigation Framework for UXVs
without any signals

01 / 04Our purpose

Why dForce exists

Why · The future

The future of warfare is autonomous.
And affordable.

Why · The threat

Every signal is a weakness.
So is every dependency.

Why · Our answer

Retrofittable software.
No hardware.

Why · Our edge

Minimal compute.
Maximum precision.

Why · Dual use

Built for defence. Ready for civil missions.

Soldier holding a small drone
Military useReady for every mission.Reconnaissance, silent missions and long-range flights, even under heavy electronic warfare.
Civil useReady for every civil scenario.Urban areas, C2 link loss, search and rescue, inspection and logistics.

One of the best solutions on the market today.

02 / 04Our product

What · The product

Force AI.
Software that replaces GNSS.

Runs on the camera and computer your drone already carries and keeps it on course when GNSS is jammed or spoofed.

  • One time integration, indefinite scaling
  • OTA firmware updates only
  • One time licence fee per drone

What · Problems we solve

Software only. Built to scale.

Most GNSS-denied solutions add hardware to every drone.
Force AI doesn't.

  • Electronic warfareStill needs a signalNeeds no signal
  • Supply chainsDependency on global supply chainsSoftware on standard parts
  • High costsGrows with every unitIntegrate once, licence per drone
  • Lack of pilotsMost systems still need a pilotFlies the mission on its own

What · Use cases

Typical missions

Jammed areas

The mission continues where GNSS is jammed or spoofed.

Long distances

Map corrections keep the error small, even over 100 km.

Silent missions

No GNSS, no radio link, and it still finds its way home.

Reconnaissance

Holds its position over a target without GNSS.

Auterion

What · Partnership

Strategic partnership with Auterion

Auterion, a leading UXV operating system provider, is our strategic partner. Force AI is fully integrated in PX4 and ArduPilot.

Others claim they are ready. You were the only one to demo.

    How · Technology

    How Force AI works

    Everything runs on board. No link, no ground station.

    1. Step 01

      It watches the ground

      Camera and motion sensor track position, speed and direction.

    2. Step 02

      It checks against the map

      Regular matches with a satellite map correct the position.

    3. Step 03

      The autopilot keeps flying

      ArduPilot or PX4 use it as a normal navigation source.

    What your drone can do without GNSS

    • Hold its position
    • Return home on its own
    • Fly planned waypoint missions
    • Take off without GNSS
    • Detect and reject GNSS spoofing
    • Keep flying without a link

    How · Integration

    Ready to fly in 6 weeks

    We set up Force AI on your drone type together with your team, from sample aircraft to autonomous flight.

    Our own test box lets us show you a quick demo.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    Do we have to change our drone?

    No. Your airframe and your flight controller stay as they are. Force AI runs on your onboard computer next to the autopilot.

    What does our drone need?

    ArduPilot or PX4, a small onboard computer and a camera looking down. We go through your exact setup together in the first call.

    Where do the maps come from?

    You can use your own satellite or aerial imagery, including national sources, or imagery from our data provider.

    Does it work at night or in bad weather?

    The current version works in daylight. A night version with a thermal camera is in development. Fog, low clouds or dense smoke block the camera, and the drone then relies on its motion sensor until it can see the ground again.

    Does it work over any terrain?

    Roads, villages and field edges work very well. Open water, fresh snow, closed forest and sand dunes give fewer map matches, and in between the camera and motion sensor keep the drone on course.

    Does Force AI detect obstacles or targets?

    No. Force AI provides the position only, so the drone always knows where it is.
