Since its 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 and unscented Kalman filter. In recent years, however, a new approach to filtering based on artificial neural network (ANN) processing has made significant breakthroughs that have pushed the inertial navigation industry into a new era.

DFOG, short for Digital FOG or 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. This technological breakthrough enables new opportunities for commercial and defense applications requiring always available, ultra-high accuracy, orientation and navigation.

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