When GPS Fails, Lives Can Be at Risk

In public safety, redundancy isn’t optional, it’s essential. Radios have backups, and critical facilities like hospitals and emergency operations centers rely on generators to stay running when the grid goes down.

So why not navigation?

At Heaps Strategy Group, we champion resilient systems that support communities when they need it most. That’s why we proudly partner with Skyline Nav AI, creators of the GPS-independent Pathfinder™ system.

Why It Matters

Natural disasters. Urban interference. Deliberate disruption.

There are countless ways GPS can become unreliable or unavailable. When that happens, responders, infrastructure operators, and public safety professionals need more than hope. They need a solution that works.

Skyline’s Pathfinder™ system provides reliable positioning and navigation without relying on satellites. It offers an essential backup capability that strengthens community safety and resilience.

Aligned Mission, Shared Values

Skyline Nav AI isn’t just building innovative technology. They are building trust. Led by a veteran founder and a team of technologists committed to public good, Skyline’s work reflects the kind of human-centered innovation we champion at Heaps Strategy Group.

We are honored to help expand its reach beyond defense to public safety, local government, emergency response, and infrastructure resilience.
