Horizon CÆLIS is an innovative startup based in Murcia, Spain, established in 2024, specializing in alternative navigation systems for drones and other aircraft. Recognizing the challenges faced in satellite navigation, especially in conflict zones like Syria and Ukraine, Horizon CÆLIS has created a fully visual navigation system that utilizes offline maps stored directly on the device. This technology complements GPS by ensuring operational capability in degraded GNSS signal environments.

Horizon CÆLIS also plans to design autonomous drones for both offensive and defensive applications, including loitering munitions and counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS). Their system employs advanced artificial intelligence models for object recognition, allowing drones to effectively navigate similar to traditional GPS receivers, even without satellite signals. The solutions offered cater to both civil and military uses, featuring compatibility with MAVLINK flight computers and integration with edge computing technologies. With a highly experienced team, Horizon CÆLIS is poised to revolutionize navigation in the drone industry.
