ANELLO Photonics wins US Navy contract
The company has been selected for a Small Business Innovation Research Phase I award to demonstrate its optical gyroscope technology and sensor fusion engine for navigation in GPS-denied environments
ANELLO Photonics, a provider of photonics solutions for navigation in GPS-denied environments, has announced that it has been awarded a Phase I SBIR contract for the US Navy. During the six-month period, ANELLO plans to demonstrate the capabilities of its silicon photonics optical gyroscope (SiPhOG) technology and sensor fusion technology for navigation in environments without GPS.
According to ANELLO, the Phase I SBIR award enables it to showcase to the US Navy its integrated photonics technology together with its products using the ANELLO AI-based sensor fusion engine. The company says this will ensure that the US Navy platforms can maintain high-accuracy navigation in challenging GPS-denied situations.
“We are excited to work with the US Navy and provide them access to our innovative and cutting-edge technology,” said Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics. “Within this programme, the US Navy can directly evaluate and experience first-hand the benefits of the ANELLO products for navigation in GPS-denied or contested environments.”
ANELLO Photonics adds that it is currently engaged with various customers in the construction, farming, trucking, robotics, UAV, autonomous vehicles, and national security space.
