Psionic

Psionic is a developer of groundbreaking dual-use manned and unmanned navigation solutions that enable airborne and ground platforms to operate in the most challenging of environments without the need for satellite signals or cell towers.

Founded by former NASA engineers, the company has been involved in DARPA’s LASSO program, and has partnered with numerous key defense primes including Northrop Grumman and Collins Aerospace.

Space-Proven Doppler LiDAR Technology

Psionic’s core Navigation Doppler LiDAR (NDL) technology was originally created for demanding space applications such as lunar landings, rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO), and precision velocity and range sensing, and has since evolved beyond spaceflight.

By directly measuring platform motion relative to the ground, the technology provides ultra-reliable real-time velocity data without any reliance on GNSS satellite signals or external networks. Lighter, faster and more accurate than radar, it outperforms traditional time-of-flight solutions and can be deployed in compact and lightweight form factors.

Psionic’s NDL provides a trusted velocity reference that cannot be compromised by conventional EW attacks, making it highly suited for situations where mission-critical assured navigation is essential.

SurePath Ground-V

Precision navigation in GNSS-denied & contested environments

SurePath Ground-V is a laser-based sensing solution for military and commercial vehicles that delivers highly accurate 3D velocity, attitude, and position data for resilient land vehicle navigation. Utilizing four coherent 1550 nm Doppler LiDAR beams, it measures surface-relative velocity with the utmost precision and sub-millisecond timing.

The system is highly resilient to jamming, spoofing and RF interference, providing robust performance under GNSS-denied and -degraded conditions and in contested and complex environments. By operating well below shortwave infrared background levels, SurePath achieves an exceptionally low probability of intercept and detection, making it ideal for covert operations.

Delivering sub-centimeter-per-second accuracy, SurePath is also unaffected by wheel slip and changing terrain, and enables vehicle crews and operators to carry out their missions with confidence, no matter how hostile the environment.

Seamless integration & advanced messaging

SurePath Ground-V is ready to be retrofitted into virtually any land vehicle, and is easily integrated with existing GNSS and inertial navigation sensor architectures. Weighing less than 7 lbs, the system consumes under 20W of power.

The unit offers RS-422, CAN and Ethernet interfaces, and can be optionally configured for MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach) alignment with the ASPN message structure for PNT data.

SurePath Ground-V is designed to MIL-STD-810H and MIL-STD-461G standards and is ideal for a wide range of military and commercial vehicles, including:
