When the battlefield goes dark, your ground and autonomous systems must keep moving.
Join Advanced Navigation at Defence Vehicle Dynamics to secure your tactical PNT advantage.
Assured Navigation for the Future of Land Warfare
As autonomous warfare accelerates and electromagnetic warfare threats escalate, the MoD and its supply chain need systems that are resilient, integrated, and battle-ready. We are bringing our navigation technology to UTAC Millbrook to show you how to maintain total operational capability in GPS-denied environments.
Book a 1-on-1 technical briefing with our defense team at DVD2026 to discuss your land enterprise requirements:
- See how our Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) filter out jamming and spoofing to deliver continuous, pinpoint accuracy for uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) and heavy armour.
- Explore how our hardware integrates directly into your existing tech stack, ensuring your platforms are truly Connected for Combat.
- Discover how our MEMS and FOG technology provide reliable performance without the heavy SWaP-C footprint, keeping your platforms agile.
Is Your Navigation Stack Compromised?
Everything can be jammed. Everything can be spoofed. Find out how to achieve assured PNT with Electronic Protection that outpaces the threat.

What is DVD?
DVD (Defence Vehicle Dynamics) is the UK’s premier biennial land warfare and defense equipment event. Jointly sponsored by Army Headquarters and the National Armaments Director Group, this vital two-day exhibition takes place at the UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire. Unlike conventional static trade shows, DVD leverages Millbrook’s extensive off-road tracks to host live, rigorous mobility demonstrations of armored combat vehicles and logistics equipment. It serves as an essential, face-to-face forum for Ministry of Defence personnel, procurement teams, and global industry suppliers—ranging from defense primes to tech start-ups—to collaborate on next-generation battlefield systems, sensors, and military software.
