Vancouver, Canada — February 25, 2026 — Leads & Copy — SPARC AI Inc. has announced a major upgrade to Overwatch, its flagship GPS-denied navigation product. The upgrade allows operators to export Overwatch-corrected waypoints, position fixes, and mission plans directly into their existing flight software, expanding the product’s deployability across commercial and defense fleets.
This release positions Overwatch as a hardware-agnostic GPS-denied navigation “drift fix” that can be adopted across commercial or defense drones, regardless of manufacturer, flight controller, or ground control software.
Drone manufacturers in GPS-contested regions can now integrate and add navigation-grade accuracy to every airframe in their lineup without hardware changes.
With Overwatch, operators can plan missions, apply AI-driven sensor correction to every waypoint, and export the corrected mission to their existing flight ecosystem without integration programs. This allows the same workflow to scale from single-drone commercial pilots to defense organizations operating mixed fleets of hundreds of aircraft without platform-by-platform redevelopment.
Overwatch’s universal export supports drone ecosystems currently used in real-world operations. Supported formats include:
Drone flight control systems: ArduPilot, PX4, MAVLink.
Ground control stations: QGroundControl (QGC), Litchi, UgCS.
Drone OEMs: DJI, Autel, Parrot.
Robotics & development: ROS (Robot Operating System).
Survey mapping: Pix4D.
Cross-platform formats: KML, GeoJSON, XML, CSV.
SPARC AI says that modern drone operations, especially in defense, security, and industrial settings, are increasingly multi-vendor and multi-software by default. Until now, GPS-denied solutions have been tied to specific hardware airframes and software navigation systems, forcing expensive per-platform integration and limiting adoption.
The company says Overwatch breaks that pattern by decoupling the intelligence from the aircraft; the correction happens within the Overwatch platform, and the output is delivered in the operator’s required format.
The Company has also granted options to two consultants who are providing support with business development initiatives and introductions. Specifically, Ron Shenton received 125,000 options with an exercise price of $1.30, expiring on 25 February 2027, and Larry Kristof was also granted 125,000 options under the same terms.
SPARC AI is a defense technology company solving one of the critical challenges in modern autonomous systems: accurate navigation and targeting when GPS is unavailable. The company’s AI-powered platform transforms the low-cost inertial sensors inside commercial drones into precision instruments without additional hardware, external signals, or complex integration. SPARC AI’s software-only approach makes GPS-denied capability for target acquisition and navigation accessible at the price point and scale that modern drone operations demand, from single platforms to fleets of thousands.
