Case Study
Field Proven: Navigating Europe’s Deepest Underground Mine
We continuously demonstrate the capability of our navigation system by validating in the most extreme environments on the continent.
- The Challenge: Operating 1.4 kilometers beneath the surface at Finland’s Pyhäsalmi Mine means operating in a total GNSS blackout. Traditional positioning methods in these deep underground environments are prohibitively expensive and prone to failure.
- The Solution: Our engineers paired the Boreas D90 Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) Inertial Navigation System (INS) with a Chimera Land Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS), creating an entirely self-contained Hybrid Navigation System that relies on internal sensor weighting rather than external signals.
- The Result: Navigating a nearly 23-kilometer subterranean path down to 1,400 meters, the paired solution maintained a navigation error below 0.1%, establishing a new benchmark for autonomous underground positioning.
