A GPS-Denied Drone For Under $500 USD During the 24-hr. El Segundo Defense Tech Hackathon on Feb. 17-18, the team says it used a 3D printer and less than $500 USD to build a drone that calculates its GPS coordinates without a signal by using an algorithm that matches satellite images from Google Maps to images from its camera. The drone prototype has similarities to the Raytheon Tomahawk cruise missile's terrain contour-matching guidance system (known as Tercom) but was developed at a fraction of the cost and time. link Wolfhag |
