Discover cutting-edge solutions from 5 leading global suppliers
Creator of the Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG) and developer of inertial navigation systems (INS), ANELLO Photonics, has launched the ANELLO Maritime Inertial Navigation System (INS).
The product is seen as a significant advancement in navigation technology for marine applications in GPS-denied or spoofed environments.
The ANELLO Maritime INS integrates the company’s SiPhOG™ technology with its advanced sensor fusion engine to deliver unparalleled precision and reliability for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vessels (AUVs).
The design of the ANELLO Maritime INS combines the high-performance capabilities of optical gyroscopes with the compact form factor and low power consumption of silicon photonics. This results in a versatile Inertial Reference System (IRS) that delivers exceptional performance in GPS-challenged maritime environments.
Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics, said, “The launch of the ANELLO Maritime INS signifies a pivotal advancement in our mission to transform navigation, enhancing precision and reliability for autonomous vessels operating in GPS-denied or spoofed environments.
“Our technology has been rigorously field-tested across land, air, and now in sea environments. We are excited to offer a navigation solution for autonomous systems in challenging maritime environments.”
Mike Flanigan, CEO of Seasats, commented, “Integrating the ANELLO technology into our autonomous surface vessels has significantly enhanced our navigation capabilities in GPS-denied scenarios. This technology is a game-changer for maritime operations, enabling safer and more efficient autonomous missions at sea.”
This launch is said to reinforce ANELLO’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for GPS-denied navigation across various domains. By expanding its portfolio to now include maritime applications, ANELLO Photonics states that it is continuing to demonstrate its leadership in developing next-generation navigation technologies for autonomous systems across land, air, and sea environments.
