Claim: Pokemon GO 3D scans used to train GPS-denied drone navigation AI

The post claims Niantic/Pokemon GO player-generated 3D environment scans were transferred to a US military contractor and are being used to train neural networks for drone navigation and targeting in GPS-denied conditions. If true, this is a notable data-driven autonomy enabler: large-scale AR mapping used to improve drone localization/orientation when GPS is jammed.
