BlueSpace’s Scalable Solution to GPS-Denied Environments
“When two Finnair planes flying into Estonia recently had to divert in quick succession and return to Helsinki, the cause wasn't a mechanical failure or inclement weather—it was GPS denial.” Fortune
“Jamming and spoofing attacks on GPS and other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are becoming increasingly common … creating major challenges and risks for aviation, shipping and other critical services across the world.” Space News
BlueSpace Positioning System (BPS) delivers best-in-class relative positioning accuracy, even while using only imaging radar and consumer-grade IMU. This creates an opportunity to apply this technology to ensure safe, scalable navigation and real-time mapping for ground, underground, and air-based applications. Whether the operating environment includes traversing urban canyons, rural and remote forests, or subterranean caves and mines, BPS provides reliable and scalable GPS-denied positioning to enable continuous operation and successful mission completion. Its versatility supports a spectrum of navigation requirements, from optimizing travel time to critical operations in the most challenging environments.

Accuracy and Reliability in Challenging Conditions
BlueSpace Positioning System (BPS) was designed specifically to perform effectively without GPS in challenging terrains. Even while leveraging only imaging radar and consumer-grade IMU, BPS achieves a state-of-the-art Cross Track Error (CTE) of less than 0.1%, outperforming industry standards by 10x.
BPS removes the need for vehicle wheel speed data, in turn requiring minimal integration and customization, making it ideal for a wide range of applications across industries.
Beyond Navigation
BPS goes beyond just navigation with its ability to generate photo-realistic real-time mapping (more about this to come soon!). Furthermore, we provide universal perception that detects all objects in its vicinity without relying on prior training data, allowing it to adapt to new and unexpected obstacles, and dynamic environments in real-time. Combined with real-time mapping, this lays the groundwork for safe and scalable autonomous operations, especially in unpredictable and unknown terrain.
Flexibility in Diverse Applications
Designed for flexibility, BPS can be easily mounted or dismounted to a wide range of assets based on a variety of needs. Application across diverse hardware allows BPS software to be easily integrated into various platforms, making it suitable for a broad range of industries—from mining and defense, to transportation and logistics, to autonomous vehicle operations. BPS is built to provide accurate odometry and perception wherever it's needed.
A Path Toward Scalable Autonomy
The never-ending effort of supporting many sensors used in traditional HD mapping and perception development makes these operations cost-prohibitive and difficult to scale. BPS is paving a path to affordable and scalable autonomy. BlueSpace has developed a solution that is not only high-performing but also simple and cost-effective to implement.
As autonomy continues to transform industries across the globe, BPS is the scalable solution for robust and high-accuracy positioning and perception to enable Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and full autonomy.
