ANELLO Photonics launches Maritime Inertial Navigation System
The company says the product combines the high performance of optical gyroscopes with the small form factor and low power consumption of silicon photonics, representing a significant step in navigation technology for marine applications in GPS-denied environments
ANELLO Photonics, a company focusing on high-precision inertial navigation systems, has announced the launch of the ANELLO Maritime INS, its Inertial Navigation System (INS) for maritime applications. The company says this innovative product marks a significant advancement in navigation technology for marine applications in GPS-denied or spoofed environments.
According to ANELLO, the Maritime INS integrates its groundbreaking silicon photonics optical gyroscope SiPhOG technology with its advanced sensor fusion engine to deliver unparalleled precision and reliability for autonomous surface vessels and autonomous underwater vessels. The company adds that the innovative 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, resulting in a versatile inertial reference system (IRS) that delivers exceptional performance in GPS-challenged maritime environments.
“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,” said Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics. “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.”
ANELLO says this launch reinforces its commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for GPS-denied navigation across various domains. By expanding its portfolio to now include maritime applications, the company says it continues to demonstrate its leadership in developing next-generation navigation technologies for autonomous systems across land, air, and sea environments.
