5G-Enabled GPS-Denied UAV
One of Turkey's first private-5G UAVs able to operate in GPS-denied (indoor/factory) environments. We built one drone in 15 days; I owned the system architecture and the control/communication software.
Overview
This is one of Turkey's first 5G-enabled UAV efforts — controllable over a private 5G network in indoor/industrial environments where there is no GPS signal. It was demonstrated on OSTİM's domestic industrial 5G infrastructure in an AR / digital-twin factory-monitoring scenario.
The Problem
In GPS-denied environments such as factory floors, the drone had to be controlled remotely with precision and low latency. Instead of classic telemetry links, a private 5G network providing high bandwidth and millisecond-level latency was used.
My Role
I designed the system architecture and built the control/communication software in C# and Python, providing a low-latency command and telemetry stream over 5G between the onboard flight computer and the ground station. Throughout, the team pushed an intense engineering pace, building one flyable drone from scratch in 15 days.
Outputs & Results
The result was a working UAV controlled over 5G in a GPS-denied environment (factory scenario in the demo video) — a pioneering example of private-5G + UAV integration in Turkey.
