BAE Systems and Vantor unveil high-accuracy drone targeting capability for contested warfare environments

The capability is designed to address growing operational challenges caused by inexpensive unmanned aerial systems equipped with lower-quality sensors and increasingly widespread GPS spoofing and jamming in modern conflict zones. According to the companies, inaccurate geographic metadata in drone video feeds has increasingly undermined precision targeting and intelligence operations despite the availability of high-quality imagery.
