ITAR has severely restricted access to nav system tech export, but there was always this open question about reckoning position by visual cues rather than GPS + dead reckoning. We all knew it was technically feasible, but we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.

There's always going back to the old-fashioned method of having a trained pigeon inside of the device instead of a sophisticated computer vision system.

Or the pigeon can be the drone itself, what a wonderful world it is

Wasn't there some historical leader with mad beef with someone they were at war with, she requested several pigeons as part of peace negotiations and she released them to fly back carrying burning twigs and absolutely destroyed the enemy city?

Edit: Added a necessary word lol
