How ChaserAI Solves It

Rather than estimating only local motion or relying on external positioning infrastructure, the ChaserAI Navigation Platform continuously determines globally referenced position entirely onboard.

The platform combines onboard vision, inertial sensing, and geospatial reference data to maintain continuous global navigation without GNSS and without external communications.

The platform pairs VIN navigation software on an Embedded AI computer with a standard Pixhawk-class flight controller (other compatible FCs possible) configured by ChaserAI — one FC on the aircraft, not a second autopilot.

At the core of the platform is Vision-Inertial Navigation (VIN)—ChaserAI's proprietary navigation software, installed on the Embedded AI computer, responsible for continuously estimating global position throughout the mission.

VIN is not a standalone product.

VIN is navigation software on the Embedded AI computer, powering the ChaserAI Navigation Platform.
