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

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.

MooVita is developing autonomous buses to tackle Singapore’s public transportation concerns, arising from an ageing population and a labour shortage of bus drivers.

Space Machines Company has launched Optimus, an orbital service vehicle (OSV) equipped with Advanced Navigation’s Boreas X90 INS, into space.

As the use of autonomous systems continues to grow, the importance of their ease of integration cannot be overstated. This refers to how seamlessly a system can be integrated into a vehicle or platform, both physically and electronically.

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.

Advanced Navigation expands Boreas range of digital fibre-optic gyroscopes with new A Series products (A70 and A90).

As part of Advanced Navigation’s inaugural Student Grant Program designed to motivate and financially support high-achieving engineering students, we asked our applicants how they envision a sustainable future enabled by autonomous systems. A question of great magnitude, it was met with some of the most eye-opening, creativity-laden responses from young minds across the world.

The gyroscope most likely began existence as a simple children’s toy – a “spinning top”. It is difficult to speculate who, when and where first discovered this seemingly gravity defying wonder, however, it has endured the ages and has ended up becoming an intrinsic part of human navigation.

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.
