KrattWorks coordinates GPS-independent navigation

Coordinating Project BadB means KrattWorks is trying to turn a drone feature into a reusable defense subsystem. The point is not just making its own aircraft fly without satellite signals. It is building the sensors, software, and battlefield navigation stack that let unmanned systems keep moving when GPS is jammed, which can later be sold inside KrattWorks drones or licensed as a module to other vehicle makers.

• This matters because GPS denial is now a normal battlefield condition, not an edge case. KrattWorks already builds drones that use onboard machine vision to get home when GPS and radio links are cut, so BadB extends a core product capability rather than funding a side project.

• The consortium structure is strategic. European Defence Fund programs back multi country teams, and Project BadB also has support from the Estonian and Finnish defense ministries. That gives KrattWorks funded R&D, government validation, and a path into broader European procurement networks.

• The closest comparables are autonomy companies like Shield AI and Anduril, where the hard part is navigation and mission software in denied environments, not just the airframe. KrattWorks is smaller and more tactical, but the same logic applies, software that survives jamming carries more value than commodity drone hardware.

The next step is for GPS independent navigation to become a product line of its own. If BadB matures into a package that works across drones and other unmanned vehicles, KrattWorks can expand from selling complete systems into supplying one of the most important pieces of the modern autonomy stack in Europe.
