Underwater drone Hydrus completes successful simulation to identify hazards in tropical waters with Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Dead-reckoning is the term given to approximate one’s current position based on estimated movements from a previously known location. That is, having your starting point coordinates, then estimating heading (direction) and distance travelled between each change in direction, using velocity and time, to calculate where you are now.

Global, 5 May 2022 – Advanced Navigation, one of the world’s most ambitious innovators in AI robotics, and navigation technology has today announced the acquisition of Vai Photonics, a spin-out from The Australian National University (ANU) developing patented photonic sensors for precision navigation.

There are several methods to determine heading in navigation when using an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) or an Inertial Navigation System (INS). As such recommending an appropriate heading source should be based on typical application requirements. These are indicative but should be evaluated fully for individual applications.

With Advanced Navigation’s INS, Dynetics was able to demonstrate efficient and safe mid-air retrieval of its Gremlins X-61 UAV.
