Maxar and Taiwan’s AIDC partner to field GPS‑alternative UAV navigation from Raptor suite

Maxar Intelligence has partnered with Taiwan's Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) to deploy its Raptor software suite — including the 'Guide' module that uses 3D satellite data to correlate real‑world positions — to provide a GPS‑alternative navigation capability for UAVs after a successful demonstration in Taiwan.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

The deal fields a satellite‑based GPS alternative for UAVs to mitigate jamming and spoofing, directly addressing resilience gaps highlighted by the US Space Force’s review of on‑orbit GPS architecture.
The partnership accelerates Taiwan’s push to expand indigenous unmanned capabilities and domestic platforms, complementing large procurement plans such as the government’s 48,750 indigenous drone acquisition and AIDC’s work on the T‑400 unmanned helicopter.
