AgEagle Launches eBee VISION Software Enhancing GPS-Free Drone Navigation

AgEagle Aerial Systems has released a major update to its eBee VISION drone software, enabling advanced navigation capabilities in environments where GNSS/GPS signals are compromised or unavailable. The new application allows drones to perform manual position updates using camera and map-based referencing, ensuring precise navigation for defense, public safety, and industrial operators in challenging environments such as dense urban areas or near critical infrastructure. Additional enhancements include real-time flight time and return-to-home estimates, optical flow stabilization, adaptive behavior, and high-precision landing features. CEO Bill Irby described this innovation as a significant leap forward, directly addressing the needs of users facing electronic interference or contested zones. The update is expected to boost operational reliability and mission flexibility, supporting uninterrupted drone operations even when traditional satellite navigation is impaired. AgEagle emphasized its ongoing commitment to refining drone technology for diverse industries.
