GPS-Denied Navigation of Drones

 GPS-denied navigation represents a critical vulnerability in modern drone operations that threatens mission success across military, commercial, and civilian applications. Electronic warfare tactics including GPS jamming and spoofing have proliferated globally, with jamming devices available for under $200 and sophisticated spoofing systems deployed in active conflicts. Strategic advantages of GPS-independent navigation include enhanced mission resilience, reduced electronic warfare vulnerability, and expanded operational domains including underground, indoor, and contested environments. Different mission types require tailored navigation solutions, with surveillance missions prioritizing persistent accuracy, logistics operations demanding reliability over terrain variations, and combat missions requiring rapid deployment and stealth capabilities.
