Develop low-power event-based sensing hardware and algorithms for GPS-free navigation

This opportunity seeks innovative sensing hardware and navigation algorithms that use event-based (asynchronous) sensing to support navigation in hostile flight or space environments. The solution must be low SWaP-C and work without relying on GPS or GNSS inputs. Projects will focus on enabling navigation performance in environments where satellite signals are unavailable or unreliable.
