RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.—Cyberlux Corporation, a provider of advanced defense technologies, is partnering with OKSI (Optical Knowledge Systems, Inc.) to enhance unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations in GPS- and radio frequency (RF)-denied environments, Cyberlux said in a release.
The collaboration integrates OKSI’s cutting-edge OMNISCIENCE™ autonomy suite into Cyberlux’s latest UAS platforms, delivering what the company called “robust navigation and target acquisition capabilities without reliance on traditional GPS or RF communications.”
Key features of the integration are reported to include OMNInav, a GPS-denied navigation module that is reported to provide precise, drift-free positioning through multi-modal sensor fusion; and OMNIseek, described as advanced automatic target detection and recognition that enables rapid identification of targets in complex environments.
They also include OMNIlocate, which provides Category I/II target coordinates in denied environments, facilitating accurate targeting; and OMNItarget, which offers terminal guidance capabilities for precision engagement, the release stated.
These integrated systems are designed to support sustained operations in contested areas where GPS and RF signals are compromised, ensuring mission success through autonomous decision-making and adaptability, according to Cyberlux.
“This partnership with OKSI represents a critical advancement in our mission to deliver next-generation autonomous capabilities to the warfighter,” said Mark Schmidt, CEO of Cyberlux Corporation, in the release. “By integrating OKSI’s OMNISCIENCE™ suite into our UAS platforms, we are enabling reliable operations in the most challenging, signal-denied environments and redefining the tactical edge of unmanned systems.”
Cyberlux and OKSI anticipate initial product demonstrations in the third quarter of 2025.
