When GPS isn't a possibility, autonomous platforms need another way to understand where they are and where they can go.

In defense operations, underground environments, dense urban areas, and locations affected by signal interference or electronic warfare, satellite navigation can become unavailable or unreliable.

Foresight's AI-powered stereoscopic vision provides autonomous platforms with real-time environmental information, allowing them to perceive their surroundings, estimate depth, and support navigation even when GPS is denied.

For autonomous systems operating in challenging environments, perception can provide a critical layer of navigational awareness when external positioning can't be relied upon.

The future of autonomous ground vehicles is gaining momentum.

A new BCC Research report projects the global unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) market will grow from $8.3 billion in 2026 to $13.1 billion by 2031, driven by increasing defense investments and broader adoption across industries such as agriculture, mining, construction, and logistics. As UGVs become more autonomous, advanced perception and onboard intelligence will be essential for navigating complex environments safely and reliably.

Foresight’s AI & sensing software allows for passive 3D perception for autonomous maneuver in contested environments. It combines visible-spectrum and thermal imaging with AI-driven terrain intelligence to deliver autonomous awareness across even the harshest environmental conditions, including off-road driving and zero-visibility sandstorms, and without active emissions that an adversary can detect, locate, or target.

Railway Gazette International reported on a recent demonstration of autonomous tram operations in Mannheim, Germany. The tram, developed by Škoda Auto, performed operations including shunting, stabling, precise stopping, braking, and washing procedures.

Foresight’s advanced stereoscopic vision technology is uniquely suited to the rigorous demands of autonomous rail. Our systems deliver precise, long-range obstacle detection and depth perception in all conditions - including fog, rain, tunnels, and complete darkness - ensuring the continuous environmental awareness that high-speed autonomous tram operation requires.

The EU is moving ahead with automated transport.

A recent article from Trans.INFO - transport, trucking and logistics news reports that eighteen EU transport ministers have signed a joint declaration to establish cross-border testing zones for autonomous vehicles. The initiative is designed to accelerate automated freight transport, logistics, and public transportation across Europe.

But autonomous vehicles crossing borders will encounter different road layouts, signage, infrastructure, weather, and lighting conditions. To operate safely across these changing environments, they need reliable perception that enables them to detect, classify, and respond to their surroundings in real time. Foresight's 3D perception and multispectral vision technology help deliver the environmental awareness autonomous systems need to make confident decisions wherever they operate.

EU backs cross-border tests for autonomous trucks

27/07/2026

Last week, the Foresight team was in South Korea conducting a Proof of Concept (PoC) with a leading Korean company specializing in workplace safety and intelligent transportation solutions.

The PoC is evaluating our stereo vision technology to enhance worker safety and real-time hazard detection. The system continuously monitors predefined Regions of Interest (ROI) and detects pedestrians, passenger vehicles, and trucks as they enter designated hazardous areas.

When an intrusion is detected, the system immediately activates an audible alarm and a flashing warning light, with the alert remaining active until the area is clear.

This collaboration demonstrates how Foresight’s 3D perception technology can improve workplace safety and smart infrastructure applications, while marking another important step in expanding our presence in the Korean market.

Real-world environments are unpredictable, and we can't rely on a single sensor to do it all.

Rain, fog, dust, darkness, glare, and changing terrain can all challenge autonomous systems. That's why the next generation of machine perception relies on sensor fusion. By combining visible-light imaging, thermal vision, and stereoscopic depth sensing, autonomous platforms can maintain situational awareness even when one sensing mode encounters limitations.

Building robust autonomy means creating systems that can adapt to changing environments, not just ideal conditions.

The difference between seeing and understanding 👀

Depth perception is so critical for autonomous operation - autonomous systems need to detect objects and understand where those objects are. A system that can accurately measure distance gains a much clearer understanding of its surroundings, enabling better navigation, obstacle avoidance, and decision-making.

Stereo vision provides true 3D perception by analyzing a scene from multiple viewpoints, allowing autonomous platforms to estimate distance with high accuracy in real time. Whether operating on roads, in industrial facilities, or across challenging off-road environments, depth awareness helps autonomous machines move with greater confidence and reliability. Foresight's stereoscopic vision technology is designed to provide this essential layer of perception across a wide range of industries.

Military drone programs are entering a new phase of deployment.

As DroneLife reports, the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) includes provisions designed to accelerate the adoption of secure, domestically sourced unmanned systems for defense applications. As military operations increasingly rely on autonomous drones, dependable perception capabilities become essential for navigating complex environments, identifying obstacles, and supporting mission success in all conditions.

As defense organizations expand their autonomous drone capabilities, resilient perception becomes just as important as the aircraft itself. Foresight's stereoscopic vision technology provides reliable 3D environmental awareness, enabling autonomous platforms to navigate contested and GPS-challenged environments while detecting obstacles in real time.
