Robotic Systems is a complete systems integration design and manufacturing engineering firm servicing a range of clients across mining and agriculture.

DFOG, short for Digital Fiber Optic Gyroscope, is patent pending technology which has been developed over 25 years involving two research institutions. DFOG was created to meet the demand for smaller and more cost effective FOGs, while increasing reliability and accuracy.

Advanced Navigation is pleased to announce their new range of fibre optic gyroscope inertial navigation systems (INS), Boreas D90.

Nextcore is an Australian-based company who specialise in making UAV-mounted LiDAR systems. Established in 2012, Nextcore’s solutions have been used in the mining industry, by surveyors and environmental specialists all over the world.  If there’s one thing that defines the Nextcore team it’s their passion to continually improve the technology of UAV LiDAR in order to make cost-effective, reliable equipment that is easy to use. This led to the RN80 project, a UAV-mounted LiDAR payload that could be flown higher in the air and still deliver a survey-grade dataset.

Since its first inception in the 1960s, the Kalman filter has been commonly used to this day for guidance and navigation applications. It has undergone many adjustments designed to improve upon the basic implementation, such as the Extended KF or Unscented KF. In recent years however, a new approach to filtering based on Artificial Intelligence Neural Network (ANN) processing has made significant breakthroughs that has pushed the inertial navigation industry into a new era.

Advanced Navigation has been awarded one of the first Moon to Mars Supply Chain Capability Improvement grants by the Australian Federal Government.  Advanced Navigation in partnership with Q+CTRL will create a world-first quantum-enhanced inertial navigation solutions for space launch vehicles, satellites and landers. The design of this inertial navigation technology for long-endurance space missions will be pivotal to NASA’s space exploration initiative, the Artemis Lunar Exploration Program.

  SYDNEY, 23 November 2020 – New Century Information and Advanced Navigation are pleased to announce that they have entered a strategic partnership, allowing both companies to further develop in the growing market of analysis and gamification with individuals in high-intensity sporting events. The partnership has been preceded by a long-standing collaboration on the development of products, solutions and services in the field of wearable advanced outdoor positioning systems.

Advanced Navigation is pleased to introduce Motus 2, the second generation of their ultra-high performance MEMS IMU. Motus 2 pushes the performance boundaries of MEMS gyroscope technology to offer performance greater than many FOG systems in a tiny form factor, ideal for unmanned systems.

  HEADING SOURCES   This white paper describes the different methods used to determine heading in navigation when using an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) or an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and recommends an appropriate heading source based on typical application requirements. These are indicative but should be evaluated fully for individual applications.  

    Subsea software company QPS has released a Qinsy 9 driver for Advanced Navigation's Subsonus USBL/INS.   Advanced Navigation Packet Protocol (ANPP) stream is processed by the QPS software to provide:
