Validated through ESA-supported autonomous navigation deployments
Proven in real-world GNSS-degraded field trials
ESA NAVISP activity completed February 2026. Structured stakeholder consultation currently open.
Applications
Omnisense positioning technology underpins a range of applications, from autonomous navigation to tracking in challenging environments.
Animal tracking & behavioural research
Positioning data to support the study of animal movement, space use, and behaviour, from controlled environments to real-world deployments.
Industrial, defence & asset tracking
Positioning for people and asset tracking in industrial, infrastructure, and defence contexts where accuracy and operational continuity are critical.
Autonomous navigation
High-precision ranging and positioning to support autonomous landing, navigation resilience, and operation where GNSS is degraded or unavailable.
Core positioning technology
These diverse applications are enabled by a single underlying positioning technology.
Key characteristics of the technology include:
-
Extended-range ranging and reduced infrastructure density
-
Designed for GNSS-challenged environments
-
Proven in research, industrial, and autonomous systems
At the heart of Omnisense is a radio-based positioning technology designed for accuracy, robustness, and flexibility. The underlying techniques and intellectual property are frequency-agnostic, enabling operation across different bands as standards and regulations evolve.
Current deployments and products make use of ultra-wideband (UWB) to deliver high-precision ranging and positioning, but the same core methods can be applied using other radio technologies where appropriate.
Research, deployments and partnerships
Omnisense technology has been deployed in academic research, collaborative projects, and real-world environments, supporting peer-reviewed studies and long-term operational use.
Industrial, infrastructure and autonomous systems
Beyond academia, Omnisense technology has been applied to people and asset tracking in industrial and defence contexts, and to autonomous navigation projects where robustness and resilience to GNSS limitations are critical.
Academic research and animal behaviour
Omnisense positioning data has been used in multiple academic studies investigating animal movement, space use, and behaviour, including recent work on heat stress and welfare in dairy cattle. These deployments benefit from research-grade accuracy and the ability to operate reliably in controlled and real-world environments.
Selected publications and project details available on request.
Architectural Principles
Omnisense technology is designed to make high-accuracy positioning practical to deploy, scale, and maintain across diverse operational environments.
Resilient operation beyond GNSS
Designed for environments where GNSS is unreliable, degraded, or unavailable, enabling dependable positioning for autonomous systems, research deployments, and operational use.
A single technology across applications
A common positioning foundation supports diverse applications without bespoke solutions, enabling reuse, consistency, and long-term evolution as requirements and standards change.
Reduced infrastructure burden
Extended-range ranging and positioning reduces the number of fixed nodes required for a deployment, lowering cost and simplifying installation while maintaining system performance.
