Read IEEE Spectrum’s story on Advanced Navigation’s collaboration with NILEQ technology.

Advanced Navigation has signed an MoU agreement to co-develop a resilient navigation system integrating MBDA’s NILEQ absolute positioning technology.

The breakthrough will enable airborne systems to navigate unlimited distances over land without relying on GPS, and is passive and resistant to interference.

Advanced Navigation, a global leader in assured positioning navigation and timing (APNT) technologies, has finalized an AUD $8.7 million deal with Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA). Under the deal, Advanced Navigation will supply HDA with 138 Boreas D70 units, a strategic-grade digital fibre-optic gyroscope (DFOG) inertial navigation system (INS), as part of the LAND 400 Phase 3 program.

Advanced Navigation speaks to US publication Breaking Defense on its collaborations with Hanwha.

Australia, September 11 2024 – Advanced Navigation, a world leader in assured positioning navigation and timing (APNT) technologies, with Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA), global leaders in spacecraft engines, aircraft components and defense solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to co-develop strategic-grade APNT solutions.

United States, August 2024 – Advanced Navigation, a world leader in Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (APNT) and autonomous systems, has expanded its defense arm in the U.S. through the appointment of Wayne Prender as Global Head of Defense.

With low-cost GPS jamming and spoofing technologies becoming widely available, relying solely on GPS for navigation has become an increasingly risky option for armored combat vehicles. Despite the dangers, many defense fleets around the world remain ill-equipped to navigate effectively through contested environments where GPS is compromised.

Advanced Navigation’s light detection altimetry and velocimetry (LiDAV) system sets a new benchmark for laser-based distance/range and velocity measurement. This patent pending technology delivers a navigational sensor capable of measuring distance and velocity with extreme accuracy and with less hardware than any other system with similar characteristics.

CEO and co-founder Xavier Orr’s take on how industries can shield themselves from this new emerging threat.

Australia, 7th December 2023 – Advanced Navigation, a global leader in AI robotics and navigation technology, has been awarded a grant by the Australian Department of Defence to advance the nation’s domestic manufacturing capability for photonic chips.
