About
Raptor is Vantor’s vision-based software suite designed to eliminate GPS dependence for autonomous aerial systems facing jamming or urban-canyon signal disruption. It uses a drone’s native onboard camera together with Vantor’s Vivid 3D terrain data to determine position and extract ground coordinates without relying on satellite navigation. The suite has demonstrated absolute accuracy of under 10 m in all dimensions for aerial position determination and under 3 m for ground coordinate extraction, including at night and low altitudes. The Raptor product suite comprises three components: Raptor Guide, vision-based positioning software loaded directly onto the drone that determines aerial position using the onboard camera’s live video feed, Vivid Terrain data, and proprietary algorithms (independently validated by Inertial Labs in a performance analysis report); Raptor Sync, which georegisters the drone’s full-motion video feed with Vantor’s 3D terrain data in real time for intelligence fusion, multi-domain interoperability, and accurate coordinate extraction; and Raptor Ace, a software solution for operating with accuracy in GPS-denied conditions. All Raptor products are platform-agnostic, power-efficient, easy to integrate, and deployable on low-power commodity hardware.
