Tern’s patented, award-winning Independently Derived Positioning System (IDPS™) powers reliable turn-by-turn navigation without signal or satellites, offering a safer, smoother, and more reliable way to get where you’re going.
Tern’s IDPS™ redefines navigation by using proprietary AI to interpret real-time map and vehicle sensor data providing uninterrupted, high-accuracy positioning without GPS, GNSS, or cellular signals. IDPS™ delivers unmatched reliability and safety, even in GPS-denied environments.
IDPS™ is an AI-powered solution that is constantly self-healing, improving and learning. It is the first – and only – known positioning technology that can “cold start”, accurately initializing a driver’s starting position without any prior knowledge or external signal.
Tern’s IDPS™ never stops navigating – not in tunnels, urban canyons, criss-crossing highways, or dead zones. IDPS™ offers unlimited continuity, powering everything from faster, safer Uber rides to cross-country deliveries. Rather than patching legacy systems, Tern is building a new foundation for navigation that’s intelligent, resilient, and ready to scale
IDPS™ seamlessly integrates into vehicle platforms, commercial fleets and defense systems. Tern’s technology uses data from existing sensors and hardware already in vehicles through direct integration or a plug-in device, receives software updates automatically, and powers pre-existing third-party turn-by-turn applications.
Tern Team
There is no siloed thinking on Tern’s team. Founded by a team of elite, former special forces navigators and AI pioneers, Tern is setting the new standard for positioning technology.
Tern powers a smooth drive from point A to point B, and all the pit stops in between. IDPS™ works with vehicles’ existing base maps and sensors, improving navigation and location services that help drivers reach their destinations, improve safety, and even obtain emergency services – all without signal.
Urban canyons, signal interruptions, off grid destinations, and obstructions are no issue for IDPS™. Whether delivering packages or providing logistic services, Tern’s tech can boost operational efficiency, increase profitability, and reduce carbon footprint.
IDPS™ delivers mission-critical positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information even when traditional communications networks are down, ensuring resilience to increasing threats to GPS from outages, spoofing, and satellite vulnerability.
