Positioning and Navigation Software Without GNSS
(tern.ai)
Tern’s patented and award-winning Independently Derived Positioning System (IDPS™) is where the rubber meets the road. Applying intelligence to existing 3D motion data from vehicles, along with information from base maps, results in the most refined navigation experience yet. IDPS™ is the future of navigation.

Celestial Navigation for Drones
(mdpi.com)
Celestial navigation is rarely seen in modern Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The size and weight of a stabilized imaging system, and the lack of precision, tend to be at odds with the operational requirements of the aircraft. Nonetheless, celestial navigation is one of the few non-emissive modalities that enables global navigation over the ocean at night in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) denied environments.

Global Positioning System is, without a doubt, one of the most useful inventions of the late 20th century. It made it significantly easier for ships, airplanes, cars, and hikers to figure out where they are with high degree of accuracy.

New laser could cram GPS alternative into a shoebox
(ieee.org)
Dramatically more sensitive motion sensors could help ships keep track of their positions at sea, even in rough weather or when a military opponent jams GPS signals. However, these advanced sensors are typically lab-scale in size. Now researchers have developed a new laser system to help make these sensors fit in a shoebox, as well as potentially mass-producible.
