At World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Milanion Group signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with NovAtel to integrate assured positioning, navigation and timing into its unmanned land, maritime and air platforms, reports Global Defense News.

<p>A second MOU was signed with <a target="_blank" href="https://elistair.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elistair</a> to introduce tethered unmanned aerial systems into Milanion’s ground and maritime architecture. </p>    <p>The agreements focus on maintaining operational capability in environments affected by electronic warfare, GNSS denial, jamming, spoofing and cyber interference, with technical integration work scheduled to begin after the exhibition and demonstrations planned for later in 2026.</p>    <p>The agreement with NovAtel covers land, maritime and air domains and focuses on operations in contested environments where electronic warfare, GNSS denial and cyber interference are present. </p>    <p>Milanion linked the partnerships to requirements raised by defense delegations at WDS 2026 for unmanned systems that remain operational without dependence on vulnerable networks and that support sovereign-ready integration. </p>    <p>Technical integration discussions with both companies are scheduled to begin immediately after the exhibition. Joint development pathways and capability demonstrations are planned later in 2026 as part of a broader connected autonomy architecture.</p>    <p>Milanion Group was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in the UK, with manufacturing in Abu Dhabi. The company develops autonomous and optionally manned systems for military and security missions across land, sea, and air. </p>    <p>The MOU with NovAtel will embed NovAtel assured-PNT and anti-jam technologies into Milanion assets to maintain navigation accuracy and mission integrity during GNSS denial or interference. The integration supports secure routing, guidance stability, and targeting precision even when GPS signals are degraded or disrupted. This capability is relevant for unmanned ground vehicles, maritime conversions, and airborne systems operating in electronically contested theatres. Milanion links the functionality to survivability and operational continuity during electronic warfare and cyber-disruption scenarios. </p>    <p>By combining assured navigation with persistent ISR and resilient communications, the company aims to maintain autonomous mission performance across multi-domain deployments. The approach integrates sensing, navigation, and communications into a unified architecture to address contested-environment requirements identified at WDS 2026.</p> <p>&lt;p&gt;The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/milanion-products-to-feature-novatel-inside/">Milanion products to feature NovAtel inside</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
