GPR, Inc. is at the forefront of revolutionizing autonomous vehicle navigation through its innovative Ground Positioning Radar™ (GPR) technology. Originally developed from MIT Lincoln Laboratory's ground-penetrating radar, GPR was patented in 2012 and first deployed in 2013 in Afghanistan. Since then, it has gained traction in the commercial industry, especially from 2015 onwards, driving a new standard for safety and autonomy in transportation.
The flagship product, WaveSense, encompasses a trio of key components: the GroundSense sensor, NavSense localization software, and MapSense mapping suite. Together, these elements allow vehicles to localize accurately without reliance on GPS by capturing unique subsurface data, effectively creating stable, reliable maps that improve vehicle positioning across various environments. This capability is critical for automated driving systems, especially in areas where GPS signals are weak or non-existent, such as tunnels, urban canyons, or inclement weather conditions.
GPR has continually advanced its technology, making strides in regulatory compliance and partnerships with other industry leaders to enhance operational efficiency. From commercial logistics to automated ports, GPR’s solutions are being integrated across various sectors, addressing the multiple demands of modern mobility.
The leadership team at GPR is composed of experienced professionals with backgrounds in strategic planning, product development, and marketing in the autonomous vehicle sector. They are dedicated to pushing the envelope in intelligent mobility, enabling safer and more reliable systems for both industries and consumers.
In an era where autonomy is progressively essential, GPR is committed to breaking boundaries and redefining what is possible, symbolizing a significant step toward widespread adoption of automated operations in all weather and environmental conditions. Their vision underscores a reliable localization modality crucial for the future of mobility.
