GNSS-Denied Navigation (TERCOM + DSMAC)

Sovereign Air Superiority through Scalable & Intelligent Autonomous Units with TERCOM + DSMAC fusion.

TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching) and DSMAC (Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlator) form the navigation layer in a ROS2-based, Gazebo-validated environment. Together they compare terrain contours, scene features, and reference imagery, pairing with redundant visual landmarks, leader-follower coordination, and encrypted telemetry when GNSS is denied.

Key Capabilities

A closer look at the functions and workflows that define GNSS Denied Navigation.

DSMAC

Correlate the scene.

Digital scene matching adds redundant visual environmental sensing.

Positioning Error

Make drift visible.

Use simulation traces to review displacement error during validation.

TERCOM

Match the terrain.

Terrain contours support autonomous location lock without GNSS.
