Magnetic Mapping
Challenge:
Generating and maintaining high fidelity magnetic maps has historically been expensive, slow, and operationally complex.
General Orbit Solution:
- Our software and hardware stack reduces the cost and complexity of magnetic map generation and updates.
- Software defined sensing enables continuous improvement of map quality over time.
Magnetic Interference
Challenge:
Magnetic navigation systems have traditionally required strict magnetic cleanliness, booms, or shielding to manage platform generated interference.
General Orbit Solution:
- Machine learning based interference rejection filters platform noise in real time.
- Software defined processing adapts to each platform without custom hardware or placement constraints.
Size, Weight, and Power
Challenge:
Many magnetic navigation solutions are too large, heavy, or power hungry for small or mobile autonomous platforms.
General Orbit Solution:
- Our magnetometer is designed for ultra low SWaP
environments. - High performance sensing is delivered without external hardware or complex integration.
Platform Specific Integration
Challenge:
Magnetic navigation systems often require bespoke integration and tuning for each new vehicle or operating environment.
General Orbit Solution:
- A platform agnostic, software defined architecture enables rapid integration across vehicles and domains.
- Performance is achieved through software adaptation rather than hardware redesign.
Reliability in GPS Denied Environments
Challenge:
Many navigation systems degrade rapidly when GPS is unavailable or unreliable.
General Orbit Solution:
- Magnetic navigation provides a passive, always available signal independent of external infrastructure.
- Our system maintains consistent performance in contested, degraded, and denied environments.
