BAE Systems and Vantor Integrate High-Accuracy Targeting for Drones in Contested Environments
Event summary
- Vantor's Raptor software integrates with BAE Systems GXP to provide high-accuracy targeting for drones in contested electronic warfare environments.
- Raptor Sync georegisters drone video feeds with Vantor’s 3D terrain data in real-time, achieving <3m absolute accuracy.
- The solution addresses targeting paralysis caused by GPS spoofing and low-quality sensors in modern conflict zones.
- Capabilities will be showcased at the GXP360° Professional Exchange & Workshop in San Diego (May 18-20, 2026).
The big picture
The partnership addresses a critical gap in drone targeting accuracy amid widespread GPS jamming and sensor degradation in conflict zones. As autonomous systems proliferate, the ability to maintain precise geospatial intelligence without GPS becomes increasingly valuable. This integration positions Vantor and BAE Systems as leaders in contested-environment drone operations, with potential applications extending beyond defense into commercial sectors.
