The GPS-Denied Economy: Why Navigation Is the Next Infrastructure LayerAUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AINewsWire Editorial Coverage: GPS can no longer be trusted. Lost-signal incidents jumped 220% between 2021 and 2024, and the trend is accelerating. The drone industry’s default fix — bolting more sensors, chips and software onto every aircraft — works one airframe at a time and stalls the moment a fleet grows past a handful. SPARC AI Inc. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (profile) takes the opposite approach. Its Overwatch Positioning Network moves positioning off the aircraft entirely: a drone sends the telemetry it already generates to SPARC AI’s servers and gets latitude, longitude and time back in under a second. No new hardware. No added weight. One network serving an entire fleet at once. In a defense, security and commercial drone market projected to exceed $100 billion over the next decade, that software-defined, per-device subscription model puts SPARC AI at the front of next-generation geolocation and targeting, alongside established names such as Red Cat Holdings Inc.
