Mission‑Autonomous Pixel Lock for FPV Drones-Evolving Terminal Guidance into Adaptive, Resilient Engagement Architecture
WhitepaperMay 05, 2026
Automated Target Recognition (ATR), tracking, and homing in defense applications such as smart missiles, drones, and loitering munitions.
To sustain success, especially in contested theaters, systems must leverage pixel-lock–based terminal guidance. This capability has emerged as a critical feature in contemporary uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), particularly those intended for first-person-view (FPV) and attritable mission profiles as described in the U.S. Department of War’s Drone Dominance program, which intends to purchase over 300,000 drones that can produce lethal effects in the toughest battlefield environments.
