Skyline Nav AI, Inc.

Overview

Problem: Loss of GPS or signal makes precise, real-time positioning for vehicles or devices impossible in mission-critical operations.

Solution: Pathfinder delivers meter-level absolute position using computer vision and precomputed satellite data, no GPS needed. In areas with no discernible terrain features, Pathfinder leverages visual odometry and IMU for temporary relative localization until Pathfinder can recognize discernible terrain features.

Field Validation: Tested with the US Air Force, NASA, Army, BAE Systems, Kearfott, Isuzu; tested in 40+ global regions and live commercial/military projects.

Technology Maturity (TRL): TRL 7; multiple field trials, real-world deployments with often centimeter accuracy and commercial programs.

Strategic Advantage: Proprietary algorithms, global dataset integration, sensor-agnostic fusion, extensive field testing, and rapid deployment pipeline.

Go-to-Market Access: Secured contracts via AFWERX, NASA, direct sales to primes (BAE Systems, Kearfott), and commercial customers (e.g. Isuzu).

Dual-Use Potential: Used in defense, logistics, fleet, disaster response, autonomous mobility, aerospace, and AI safety across industries.

Team: Founder: Kanwar Singh (CEO & Army Captain), Dr. Rajeev Surati (R&D, ex-MIT), team from Harvard, Microsoft, Fidelity & other organizations.

Competitive Landscape: Incumbents across magnetic, IMU and quantum (GPS/Alt-PNT); Pathfinder offers real-time, sensor-agnostic and multi-modal absolute and relative localization by leveraging leverages cameras and IMUs.

Primary User: Pilots, drone operators, fleet leads, JTACs, vehicle operators, and logistics coordinators.

User-Critical Problem: Operators cannot trust GPS in denied/jammed settings, leading to mission failures, and life/death situations.
