Embention Veronte VBN GNSS-Denied Vision-Based Navigation Module (P005345)

Technical Overview: Veronte VBN

The Embention Veronte VBN (Hardware v1.0, Official Part Number P005345) is a self-contained Vision-Based Navigation unit engineered to provide continuous, drift-compensated position and velocity estimation for UAVs operating in GNSS-denied, jammed, or spoofed environments. Housed in an IP67 anodized aluminium enclosure (92 x 83 x 46 mm, 328 g), it integrates a 1.6 MP 30 FPS global-shutter EO camera with 0.01 lux ultra-low-light sensitivity and a dedicated vision processor.

Combining Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), and Visual Place Recognition (VPR) against pre-loaded satellite ortho-imagery, the Veronte VBN operates at altitudes up to 5,000 m AGL and feeds position fixes directly to Veronte Autopilots via RS-232, USB, or Ethernet. Supplied in the UK by Commercial-grade open-source flight controllers and non-certified power electronics lack deterministic real-time partitioning, hardware redundancy, and traceability artefacts required by UK CAA CAP 722, SORA SAIL III–VI, and NATO STANAG airworthiness authorities.

Packaged for strict SWaP-C airframe budgets (92 mm x 83 mm x 46 mm, 328 g, DO-160G aerospace grade), the Veronte VBN (P005345) integrates seamlessly across the Veronte avionics bus ecosystem. As Embention's official UK commercial and application engineering partner, TORQUETY LTD (UK Company No. 17124704, London WC2H 9JQ & Oxford +44 1865 679185) supplies hardware units, SOI certification data packages, HIL/SIL benches, and UK technical integration support priced in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
