Vancouver-based SPARC AI (CSE:SPAI) has launched its fully offline GPS-denied navigation and laser‑free target acquisition application, integrated on a defence‑grade tactical edition smartphone. The new capability is designed for contested, disconnected, and GPS‑compromised environments, enabling operators to maintain mission‑critical navigation and targeting without reliance on satellite signals, networks, or external hardware.
Built to withstand the complexities of modern battlefield conditions, SPARC AI’s software preserves operational awareness even when GPS is denied, degraded, or spoofed. The system also enables precision target location generation using only the phone’s camera—eliminating the need for a laser range finder, traditionally required for accurate geolocation.
Samsung’s Tactical Edition devices are engineered specifically for military and government use and are procured through defence and enterprise channels rather than consumer retail. SPARC AI deployed its application onto a Tactical Edition handset supplied through its reseller, Precision Technical Defence, adding an offline, on-device navigation and targeting layer designed for use by deployed operators.
Two mission-critical capabilities
On the Tactical Edition device, SPARC AI delivers two primary operational features:
• GPS-denied navigation (fully offline)
The application maintains a continuous and resilient navigation solution when GNSS is unavailable or untrusted. Operators can continue route execution, positional tracking, and reporting entirely offline, without any dependency on network connectivity.
• Laser-free target acquisition (using the phone camera)
Operators can point the device at a location of interest and instantly record its geolocation using only the onboard camera. The system outputs coordinates in defence‑preferred MGRS format, alongside other standard coordinate types—removing the need for a laser range finder or any external equipment.
Expanding U.S. market access
In parallel with the product launch, SPARC AI announced it is in the process of registering a subsidiary in the United States. The new U.S. entity is expected to enhance the Company’s eligibility for defence procurement pathways, streamline participation in government solicitations, and strengthen its overall commercial posture within the U.S. defence market.
SPARC AI stated that the move reflects increasing domestic interest in its technology and aligns with the Company’s long‑term strategy to grow its footprint within key global defence ecosystems.
“With nearly every soldier now carrying a mobile device, the opportunity to deploy SPARC AI on phones is on the same order of magnitude as our drone opportunity,” CEO Anoosh Manzoori said in a news release. “Getting there wasn’t straightforward; delivering reliable navigation and target location fully offline, on a standard handset, without extra sensors or bolt-on hardware, is a much harder technical problem than it looks.”
