I-CONIC has won a prototyping contract (grant) from the Swedish National Space Agency for inlcuding reference surface models (DSMs) derived from satellite images into I-CONIC’s innovative software for drone navigation in GNSS-denied areas. So far, I-CONIC has only tested the software with aerial reference DSMs (aerial photos or LIDAR), which are not globally available. With the use of satellite-derived reference data, I-CONIC’s technology will be applicable everywhere.

The second contract I’CONIC has won, is stage #2 in Vinnova’s Deeptech program. During this stage, I-CONIC will protoype the technology to make real-time 3D reconstruction based on video from drone swarms.
