Applied Research Program Grant
€1.5M Estonian government grant under the Applied Research Program supporting Farsight Vision's technology development.
Farsight Vision, a Ukrainian–Estonian developer of an AI-powered geospatial intelligence platform used by Ukraine's Armed Forces, converts drone imagery into real-time 3D terrain models with object detection for battlefield situational awareness and mission planning. The €1,274,078 grant, awarded under the 9th round of Estonia's Applied Research Programme (RUP) jointly with Estonian hardware company CrystalSpace, funds development of GPS-free autonomous drone navigation — combining Farsight Vision's computer-vision and spatial-navigation algorithms with CrystalSpace's GlanceCore edge-compute hardware so platforms can operate in GNSS-denied, GPS-jammed environments.
