About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.25 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Veth Research Associates, LLC, a veteran-owned small business, on April 10, 2023, for the development of a GNSS-denied positioning solution for unmanned aerial systems utilizing existing camera turrets. The contract, set aside for total small business concerns, is scheduled for completion by April 9, 2025, and will be performed in Niceville, Florida. This award aligns with AFRL's research priorities in advancing navigation capabilities for military platforms in contested environments where Global Navigation Satellite System signals are unavailable or unreliable.
Veth Research Associates brings specialized expertise to this effort, having previously received prime and subcontract awards from the Department of the Air Force and NASA focused on GPS-denied navigation systems and camera-based navigation technologies for unmanned platforms. The company's demonstrated experience in sensor development, image processing, and autonomous navigation techniques positions it to deliver viable positioning alternatives for military unmanned systems operating in GPS-denied operational contexts, a critical capability gap for the Air Force Research Laboratory.
