Integrated Solutions for Precise Navigation
Psionic was founded by former NASA engineers with a vision to dramatically enhance navigation for land, air, and space vehicles in contested environments.
Psionic’s Proprietary Technology
From Outer Space to below Earth’s surface, let Psionic’s GPS-alterative navigation system lead the way.
PSNDL
Psionic’s Space Navigation Doppler Lidar delivers precise, reliable navigation for critical space missions—including lunar and Mars landings, docking, and surface operations. It supports mobility and positioning for landers, rovers, and human exploration, while enhancing space situational awareness and enabling high-accuracy rendezvous and proximity maneuvers.
SurePath™
Psionic’s SurePath™ delivers highly accurate 3D velocity, attitude, and position data—enhancing performance in GPS-denied or contested environments. Easily retrofitted to existing systems, it integrates seamlessly across a wide range of commercial and defense platforms to support autonomous operations.
Addressing the Threat
As dependence on GNSS and other centralized navigation systems grows, so do the risks of disruption. Spoofing and jamming incidents have exposed critical vulnerabilities, revealing how fragile these infrastructures can be. Most systems rely on satellites or cell towers—single points of failure in hostile environments. Our solution is different: a fully self-contained navigation system that operates independently of external signals. Even when satellites go dark or towers go silent, our technology keeps you on course.
Key Benefits
Our system enables accurate autonomous and semi-autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments. Its low-cost, compact design easily integrates into existing systems. As a non-RF solution, it offers low probability of intercept or detection. It actively mitigates GPS jamming and spoofing, enhancing positional accuracy. Powered by coherent Doppler lidar, it delivers precise velocity and position data. It is fully compatible with DoD’s MOSA framework for seamless PNT sensor fusion.

Our Mission
Psionic was founded by former NASA engineers with a vision to dramatically enhance navigation for land, air, and space vehicles.
Psionic pursues that vision by producing navigation systems and inertial sensors for commercial and space sectors that do what no one else can. Our cutting-edge technology works without satellites or networks, performs in the harshest terrain, and calculates precise velocity and position accuracy, just for starters.

work with us
Join a team that’s redefining what it means to navigate. At Psionic, we build autonomous navigation systems that work where GPS and towers don’t—harsh terrains, hostile environments, and the edge of the unknown. We’re engineers, scientists, and explorers pushing the limits of perception and precision.
We value bold ideas, technical excellence, and a mindset wired for resilience. Whether you're designing next-gen sensors, writing mission-critical software, or supporting operations that keep us moving, your work here has purpose.
If you're ready to build the future of navigation—where others can't go—we want to hear from you.
