DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UNIBIRD has launched the N200 VIO Navigation Module, a groundbreaking solution that enables drones to navigate and self-localize using AI vision. This capability not only allows operation in GPS-denied environments but also makes drones immune to GPS jamming and spoofing.
Priced under $399—just one-twentieth the cost of traditional fiber-optic inertial systems—the N200 continuous positioning accuracy with an error marginas low as 2% and offers Plug-and-Play compatibility with PX4, representing a major leap in battlefield navigation and precision-strike capabilities. No pre-installed satellite maps are required
The N200 visual navigation module outperforms solutions from Red Cat and Palantir, delivering 656 feet of operational altitude (4×their 150-feet limit), a maximum speed of 44.7 mph (3× their 16 mph cap), and superior 2-8% dynamic accuracy. Priced at $399 and now in mass production, it provides high-performance navigation for GPS-denied environments.
On modern battlefields, Traditional GPS navigation is disabled by electronic warfare, causing drones to lose control or crash—responsible for up to 75% of drone losses and reducing mission success rates to as low as 10%.
Among the available options, fiber-optic tethered links pose two main drawbacks: first, their fragile cables lead to a high failure rate; second, the fiber spool adds roughly 3 kg of extra payload. Fiber-optic inertial navigation systems, while accurate, can cost close to $10,000, making them unsuitable for large-scale, cost-sensitive drone operations.
By fusing camera and IMU data with a laser range sensor, N200 achieves precise, stable positioning through a tightly coupled optimization framework. Enhanced algorithms with adaptive feature tracking ensure stable performance even in low-texture environments or at high speeds—supporting cruise velocities of 15–20 m/s and attack speeds up to 25 m/s.
Designed for rapid deployment, the N200 connects directly to PX4 flight controllers and requires only minor PID tuning. System integration can be completed in minutes. With only 28 ms latency and 2% accuracy error, enabling reliable GPS-free navigation.
Headquartered in Dubai, UNIBIRD.ai integrates Asia-Pacific R&D and manufacturing strengths to deliver advanced, affordable AI modules for drones, offering onboard solutions for navigation, target recognition, tracking, and precision engagement.
Now available for bulk orders, the UNIBIRD N200 VIO Navigation Module redefines cost-effective precision navigation, enables drones to navigate and fly with precision in GPS-denied environments.

SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SK hynix Inc. (or "the company", www.skhynix.com) announced today that it has been named the winner of the Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award (Achieving Greater than $1 Billion in Annual Sales)[1] and the Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award[2] at the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA)[3] Awards 2025, held on December 4 PST in Santa Clara, California.
| [1]The Best Financially Managed Semiconductor Company Award: A category recognizing public semiconductor companies based on financial soundness and operational efficiency. Awards are presented in two categories — annual sales over $1 billion and annual sales under $1 billion — and are considered among the most authoritative honors in the global semiconductor industry. |
| [2]Outstanding Asia-Pacific Semiconductor Company Award: A special category recognizing semiconductor companies headquartered in the Asia-Pacific region based on comprehensive evaluations including product excellence, business vision, leadership, and market success. |
| [3]GSA(Global Semiconductor Alliance): A global CEO-level semiconductor organization serving as a hub for technological information sharing across more than 25 countries and over 250 corporate members. |
The GSA Awards, organized annually since 1996, are regarded as the most prestigious honors in the global semiconductor sector, recognizing outstanding performance in leadership, financial results and industry reputation. SK hynix secured its second win in the financial management category following 2017, and its first recognition as the top Asia-Pacific semiconductor company. The dual achievement reinforces the company's reputation as a leading global technology innovator.
While the semiconductor industry faced a severe downturn just two years ago, the company has been the fastest to rebound thanks to its advanced AI memory technologies including HBM. This performance has resulted in global recognition for its operational excellence and financial execution. SK hynix plans to continue building sustainable growth with its dominant leadership in the AI memory market.
The awards reflect the company's proactive delivery of groundbreaking HBM solutions and its steadfast commitment to customer-centric performance in surging global AI demand. SK Chairman Chey Tae-won has consistently emphasized that securing technological competitiveness must remain unwavering, especially during challenging times. This long-term focus on technology investment and global cooperation network has contributed to the company's improved performance and reinforced financial health.
Driven by this strategy, SK hynix has recorded historic performance throughout 2025. For the first three quarters, the company reported revenue of 64 trillion won and operating profit of 28 trillion won in total, positioning it well to surpass its previous full-year earnings record set in 2024 (66 trillion won in revenue and 23 trillion won in operating profit).
Financial health has also significantly strengthened. As of the end of the third quarter, cash and cash equivalents reached 27.9 trillion won, up 10.9 trillion won quarter-over-quarter, while interest bearing debt decreased to 24.1 trillion won— successfully transitioning into a net cash position of approximately 4 trillion won.
To secure long-term leadership in AI memory, SK hynix is accelerating major investments. The Cheongju M15X fab, which opened its cleanroom earlier than planned in October, is on track to begin HBM mass production in the first half of next year. Construction of the first fab in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, launched in February, is also progressing ahead of schedule.
With its recent financial achievements and continued expansion, SK hynix is expected to further solidify its AI memory leadership going forward.
SK hynix was represented at the ceremony by Justin Kim, President & Head of AI Infra at SK hynix, and Sungsoo Ryu, President of SK hynix America. "It is a great honor to receive this award." Kim said, "We will continue to lead the market and create new value for customers as a Full-Stack AI Memory Creator, driving growth across the global AI ecosystem."
