Satellite navigation, long treated as a reliable utility by militaries, is no longer dependable in contested environments. GPS signals are now routinely jammed or spoofed in active conflict zones, and uncrewed systems that rely on them can lose both their sense of direction and their ability to find a target. That vulnerability has pushed assured positioning, navigation and timing—known as PNT—to the top of the Pentagon’s priority list.
SPARC AI Inc. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) is seeking to address this gap with software designed to keep drones and other platforms operating when satellite positioning fails. The company’s flagship product, Overwatch, is described as a GPS-denied positioning and targeting network for uncrewed systems. SPARC AI is presenting its solution as the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors pushes its Mounted Assured PNT System into a second generation, issuing a request for information aimed at fielding resilient positioning across every unit and operational domain.
The Army’s request for information specifically cites the denial of GPS signals coded for military use in contested environments. That shift has created an opening for software-based alternatives, and SPARC AI is betting that its platform can fill it. The company sponsored the Ukrainian Defense Tech Pavilion Reception at the Association of the United States Army’s 2026 Annual Meeting and Exposition, an event that underscores the urgency of the capability. Ukraine has become a proving ground for electronic warfare, where GPS jamming and spoofing are commonplace, and solutions that work there are likely to attract attention from Western militaries.
For readers and investors, the development matters because it signals a structural change in defense procurement. Assured PNT is moving from a niche concern to a programmatic requirement across every unit and operational domain. Companies that can demonstrate resilient positioning in contested environments may find a growing market. SPARC AI’s work in Ukraine and its presence at the AUSA conference this fall show how urgently that capability is being sought, according to the company’s announcement.
