Autonomy Without Assumptions: infiniDome and Wonder Robotics Introduce IroNav

infiniDome and Wonder Robotics have announced a strategic collaboration to develop IroNav, a new class of full-stack resilient autonomy solution designed for a reality where reliable navigation can no longer be assumed, providing end-to-end mission autonomy that combines vision-based navigation with resilient flight control in a single, integrated architecture.

The collaboration comes at a time when GNSS disruption is no longer confined to military theaters or isolated conflict zones. Interference is increasingly affecting routine operations across defense, maritime, and homeland security domains, forcing operators to rethink how autonomy is designed and deployed.


The decision to collaborate was driven by a shared assessment that, for advanced autonomous missions, combining navigation resilience and vision-based autonomy unlocks capabilities that neither domain delivers on its own. In IroNav, this integration extends beyond navigation: the joint product delivers "full coverage autonomy" that protects not only position and timing (PNT), but also the stability and continuity of the drone's control loop in degraded or hostile RF conditions. This insight was shaped by both companies' prior operational experience in challenging environments.

Rather than treating GNSS denial as an edge case, IroNav is built around the assumption that interference is becoming a persistent operational condition. The joint solution reflects a shared vision: autonomy should not degrade when GPS fails; it should adapt and continue operating.
IroNav brings together two domains that are often addressed separately. infiniDome's expertise in navigation resilience and protection is tightly integrated with Wonder Robotics' vision-based autonomy and precision landing capabilities, forming a single navigation architecture rather than a collection of fallback modes. Critically, the system is designed to exploit GNSS when it is still available, even if partially jammed: leveraging infiniDome's adjustable antenna to maximize usable signal and maintain mission continuity. When GNSS is temporarily lost or when the environment is spoofed, the solution transitions to a complete GNSS-denied protection envelope, enabling the platform to continue operating and complete the mission. Navigation, decision-making, and control are executed fully onboard, reducing dependence on external infrastructure, communications links, or continuous human supervision.

A central element of the solution is WonderLand, Wonder Robotics' vision-based precision landing capability, which enables autonomous operations on moving platforms, maritime environments, and unprepared terrain, even in fully GNSS-denied or spoofed conditions. Integrated into IroNav, it extends resilience beyond mid-flight navigation to full mission completion, including the most failure-prone phases of autonomous operations. This means operators can confidently execute either time-sensitive strike profiles ("hit the target") or sustained missions such as ISR, even through GNSS disruption, without redesigning the mission concept around GPS availability.
"For years, the industry treated GPS denial as a corner case," said a senior executive at infiniDome. "Today, it's a design constraint. IroNav is our answer to that shift, combining resilience and autonomy into a system that keeps operating when conditions deteriorate."

Or Epstein, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer at Wonder Robotics, added that the collaboration represents a strategic step for the company. "We see IroNav as an opportunity to extend our vision-based autonomy into new operational and geographic markets," Epstein said. "Working with infiniDome allows us to address more complex mission profiles and accelerate adoption in regions where navigation resilience is becoming a critical requirement."Currently in advanced development, IroNav is being shaped through close collaboration and early customer engagement, including ongoing trials with customers in India. The solution is intended for operators who view navigation resilience as a strategic capability rather than a checkbox—and who are willing to invest in a system designed from the ground up for contested environments. and for continuity of operations across the full mission lifecycle.
