AeroVironment has equipped the Puma LE small unmanned aircraft with a Visual Navigation System that enables reliable operations in GPS-denied environments. Using real-time image analysis, terrain matching, and onboard computing, the VNS allows the drone to navigate autonomously when satellite guidance is disrupted. The upgrade strengthens the Puma LE’s value for missions in high-jamming conditions and expands its applicability across modern battlefields where GPS interference is increasingly common.
