SPARC AI Inc. (CSE: SPAI) (OTCQB: SPAIF) (Frankfurt: 5OV0), a defense technology company developing its Overwatch GPS-denied navigation and targeting platform for drones and autonomous systems, announced the appointment of Don Hilton as an Independent Non-Executive Director, effective immediately. The move adds decades of executive, financial, governance and commercial leadership experience to the board, including senior roles with Spotlight Group, Monsanto Australia, Ecogen Energy, Norwich Union Australia, Prudential-Bache Securities and Coopers & Lybrand.
Hilton’s appointment strengthens board independence and brings expertise in finance, governance, capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, compliance and business growth, according to the company. As SPARC AI advances its development and commercialization efforts, Hilton’s background is expected to support the company in scaling its operations. The company is focused on solving one of the most critical challenges in modern autonomous systems: accurate navigation and targeting when GPS is unavailable. Its AI-powered platform transforms low-cost inertial sensors already inside commercial drones into precision instruments without additional hardware, external signals, or complex integration.
This software-only approach makes GPS-denied capability for target acquisition and navigation accessible at the price point and scale that modern drone operations demand, from single platforms to fleets of thousands. The appointment comes at a time when defense technology companies are increasingly seeking to address vulnerabilities in GPS-reliant systems. SPARC AI’s Overwatch platform aims to provide a solution that does not require additional hardware, potentially reducing costs and complexity for military and commercial drone operators.
Hilton’s extensive experience in finance and governance, including his work with major corporations across multiple industries, is expected to help guide SPARC AI through its next phase of growth. The company noted that his expertise in capital raising and mergers and acquisitions could be particularly valuable as it looks to expand its market presence and secure additional funding.
