A system comprises a GNSS sensor onboard an aerial vehicle; a monitor warning system (MWS) that determines whether the vehicle is in a GNSS denied environment; and a flight management system that includes a landing guidance module, and a database having location coordinates of landing sites. Onboard vision sensors and a radar velocity system (RVS) communicate with the guidance module. When the MWS determines that the vehicle is in a GNSS denied environment, the guidance module calculates an optimal flight path by receiving image data from the vision sensors; receiving position, velocity and altitude data from the RVS; receiving location coordinates of a landing site; processing the image data, and the position, velocity and altitude data, to determine a location of the vehicle and provide 3D imaging of a route to the landing site; and calculating a flight path angle to the landing site, using vehicle and landing site coordinates.
