GPS-denied visual autonomy

Software-first visual positioning for drones operating in GPS-denied environments.

Altitude: 1.1 km
Range: 104 km
Accuracy: < 50 m

Our mission is to keep humans far from the battlefield.

EW is standard. Mission failure cannot be. Theseus gives drones reliable position when GPS is jammed, spoofed, or gone.

Cyclops is software-only visual positioning built to integrate fast, hold up across terrain and lighting, and deploy at scale.

Cyclops

Software-first visual positioning

Cyclops compares live camera imagery against pre-generated reference maps to estimate vehicle position in real time. It outputs positions to the flight controller over standard MAVLink interfaces.

GPS-denied positioning

Reliable global position estimates when GPS is jammed, spoofed, or unavailable. Outputs over MAVLink for straightforward flight-controller integration.

Day and night

Cyclops is compatible with EO and LWIR cameras. Fly thermal at night, EO during the day.

Fast Integration

Typical integration starts with a short bench setup and validation flights, letting teams evaluate Cyclops quickly without major hardware changes.

Commodity hardware

Runs on NDAA-compliant, widely available compute and camera hardware, including platforms like Raspberry Pi 5 and Nvidia Jetson.

Testimonials

Lt. COL

USAF

In the considered opinion of [our] AltPNT experts, Theseus offers a disproportionate value to the DoD in terms of its large potential and small investment request. Specifically, AltPNT has notoriously required robust processing enclaves and has a limited operational context due to SWAP considerations on fielded platforms. In that context, Theseus has demonstrated performance that rivals other technologies, but in a low-SWAP environment and with minimal processing requirements.

Having tested the Theseus’ VizNav system for a week, I am convinced that their technology presents the best solution for a current, and ever expanding, urgent operational need. Their system’s form factor and ease of integration allows for missions that are impossible otherwise.
