Advanced Navigation

Advanced Navigation designs and manufactures navigation and positioning systems for environments where GPS signals are weak, jammed, or lost. The company produces software enhanced hardware spanning inertial navigation, robotics, photonic and quantum sensing, artificial intelligence, underwater acoustics, and GPS antennas and receivers. Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, it operates research and production facilities across Australia and maintains offices globally. It is an Australian manufacturer that exports its products worldwide.

The company serves aerospace, defense, marine, subsea, space, mining, autonomous vehicles, automotive, autonomous farming, and surveying markets. Its dual use technologies support both commercial and defense applications. Global customers include organizations in heavy industry and government sectors that require precise positioning and navigation data.

For defense, Advanced Navigation provides assured positioning, navigation, and timing solutions for tactical vehicle navigation, radar, counter unmanned aircraft systems, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, autonomous vehicles, and unmanned maritime systems. For heavy industry vehicles, it offers solutions for fleet management, drill rig alignment, high precision machine guidance, autonomous haulage, and underground vehicle navigation.

Its product range includes MEMS based and fiber optic gyroscope based inertial measurement units, attitude and heading reference systems, and inertial navigation systems. These include compact north seeking gyrocompasses and dual antenna RTK GNSS integrated systems. The company also produces acoustic navigation systems for marine and subsea use, micro autonomous underwater vehicles, and accessories such as laser velocity sensors, odometers, air data units, and post processing software.

Advanced Navigation uses vertically integrated manufacturing in Australia covering photonics, pressure tolerant electronics, acoustic technologies, and fiber optic gyroscope components. Its automated testing and manufacturing processes aim to deliver reliable and consistent products. The company collaborates with research institutions to develop photonic integrated circuits and the digital fiber optic gyroscope.

Its products are designed for contested and GPS challenged environments and are ITAR free. The company supplies systems to clients in many countries and focuses on rapid product delivery and technical field expertise.
