Trillium Engineering's Landmark Demonstration of GD-Loc Technology
In a significant development for the realm of unmanned systems, Trillium Engineering has successfully demonstrated its cutting-edge GD-Loc geolocation solution. This milestone, achieved via a test flight utilizing the HD55-MV system on an operational Group 2 unmanned aircraft system (UAS), confirms GD-Loc's real-time, precise geolocation capabilities in environments devoid of GPS signals.
The recent flight tests validated GD-Loc's ability to deliver Category 1 geolocation accuracy, maintaining a precision of six meters during operations in GPS-deprived conditions. This performance aligns with the implications for modern intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, emphasizing the technology's potential to enhance mission efficacy.
Previously demonstrated at the U.S. Army's PNT Assessment Experiment (PNTAX) in September, GD-Loc showed a high level of reliability in delivering accurate target coordinates even under conditions of live GPS and communication jamming. Dr. N. Andrew Browning, the Chief Technology Officer at Trillium Engineering, elaborated on the significance of this recent successful demonstration, noting, "Demonstrating GD-Loc's performance on a competitive Group 2 UAS reinforces the flexibility and power of this capability. It’s a game-changing advancement for operators who need accurate geolocation when traditional GPS solutions are unavailable."
Key Features of GD-Loc Technology
- - Superior Accuracy: The GD-Loc solution can deliver Category 1 geolocation coordinates—without any dependence on GPS—up to 5 kilometers, making it suitable for various ISR and targeting missions.
- - Seamless Integration: The technology is optimized for use with Trillium's gimbaled systems while remaining compatible with an array of UAS platforms, ensuring flexibility in operational deployment.
Trillium Engineering is dedicated to enhancing career success across a wide range of mission needs by extending GD-Loc's availability through strategic partnerships with select industry players.
