Enhancing decision support in Defense
Autonomous mapping and real-time 3D insights in GPS-denied environments
With today’s increasingly contested and hostile operating environments, Emesent offers solutions to enhance strategic, tactical and operational decision-making while reducing warfighter risks.
Hovermap’s battle proven GPS-denied autonomy and mapping capabilities allow the rapid capture of 3D and other GEOINT data in GPS-denied, zero-light conditions.
Perform rapid mapping of tunnels, buildings, bridges and terrain with real-time 3D data streaming for tactical decisions, pre-mission planning, Sensitive Site Exploitation, CBRNe incident response and more.
Why choose Hovermap for your operations?
Versatility in the field
Map anywhere with one system. Hovermap is renowned for its versatility – “The Swiss Army Knife of LiDAR mapping”. It provides both GPS-denied autonomy and mapping and can be deployed on a UAS, UGV, vehicle, carried by hand or backpack enabling one system to map anywhere.
Visibility in zero-light conditions
Map zero-light Sub-T environments. Hovermap operates in dark, GPS-denied environments enabling rapid mapping of tunnels, caves, subways, buildings and more.
Safer, faster mapping
GPS-Denied autonomy to keep troops safe. Hovermap’s AI-powered autonomy engine (Cortex) provides autonomous exploration and navigation in complex GPS-denied environments. Mount Hovermap to a compatible UAS or UGV to explore and map beyond line-of-sight and comms range without putting troops at risk.
Real-time data streaming
Stream real-time 3D maps for enhanced situational awareness and decision support. Hovermap’s onboard edge computing generates 3D LiDAR maps in real-time and streams these for live viewing. Send Hovermap into a tunnel or building and use the 3D view to plan breaches and detect threats.
Fast mobile data capture
Map complex environments in minutes. Hovermap’s SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm enables 3D mapping while in motion. No need to set up a tripod scanner – simply walk, run, fly or drive through the environment to map it.
NDAA-compliant DUI Blue approved UAS integration
Enhance your Blue approved UAS. Hovermap integrates with existing NDAA-compliant DUI Blue approved UAS to enhance them with GPS-denied mapping and autonomy capabilities. Mount Hovermap to the FreeFly Astro / Astro Max or Teledyne FLIR R70 SkyRanger / R80D SkyRaider platforms to map complex environments with confidence.
Modular expansion
Adapt Hovermap to meet your mission needs. Hovermap’s modular design allows adding capability as needed to suit different missions. Attach a 360-degree camera to colorize the 3D data and capture geo-referenced 360-degree images for added context. Attach an RTK GPS receiver to improve scan accuracy outdoors and geo-reference the data. Explore our range of accessories.

Secure and easy to use
Deploy securely with minimal training. Hovermap is designed for ease of use and security – simply power up and push a button to start mapping or use the intuitive Commander tablet app to task autonomous missions. Autonomy removes the cognitive load from the operator, allowing troops to keep ‘heads up’ and focus on other tasks. Data processing and visualization is done in-field on Hovermap and Commander, or in the Emesent Aura desktop application. No need for cloud connectivity.
