Palantir Technologies, in partnership with Red Cat Holdings, announced the successful flight testing of its Visual Navigation (VNav) software on Red Cat's Black Widow drone. The test demonstrated the drone's ability to operate effectively in an environment where GPS is unavailable, a critical capability for modern military and security operations. The VNav software was able to run on the drone's existing onboard sensors. During the test, which covered a 2.7-kilometer route, Palantir's software achieved a mean positional error of approximately seven meters, showcasing the system's accuracy. Akash Jain, President and CTO of Palantir USG, noted that the test demonstrated the software's adaptability and scalability across different platforms. Following this successful trial, Red Cat and Palantir are planning a formal demonstration of the VNav capabilities for the U.S. Army. The goal is to eventually deploy the visual navigation system across all fielded Black Widow drone systems, potentially expanding its use within the military.
