Unprecedented Navigation in Extreme Environments: Launching Chimera Land
Maintaining high-integrity positioning in deep underground environments where GNSS is unavailable remains a fundamental challenge
At SME MINEXCHANGE 2026, Advanced Navigation introduces Chimera Land. This breakthrough solution integrates our new Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS) with our Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) to provide high performance navigation for the most demanding underground operations.
Chimera Land redefines navigation assurance for ground vehicles. By delivering precise 3D body-relative velocity directly from the ground, Chimera reduces the error caused by wheel slip in mud or loose gradients, allowing vehicles to navigate long distances.

Session Topic: Unlocking Unprecedented Navigation in Extreme Environments
Speaker: Nick Ingwers Account Executive – Mining
Synopsis:
Unreliable underground navigation is a major bottleneck, but Advanced Navigation’s “inertial-first” hybrid system solves this by combining high-performance inertial sensors with laser velocity sensing. This infrastructure-independent architecture delivers the high-fidelity, low-latency data required for precise positioning in the deepest, most challenging environments.
- Overcoming Limitations: Moving beyond traditional, infrastructure-heavy methods to a multi-sensor architecture that scales with operational demands.
- Proven Performance: Real-world validation of precision navigation in deep-mine environments without the need for fixed external hardware.
- Operational Impact: Unlocking new capabilities for fleet management, predictive collision avoidance, and the path toward scalable autonomy.
