ANELLO Photonics has announced the launch of its ANELLO Maritime INS, an Inertial Navigation System (INS) for autonomous vessel applications in GPS-denied or spoofed environments.
The system integrates the company’s existing Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG) technology with a sensor fusion engine to deliver precision location data for autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vessels (AUVs) via an Inertial Reference System (IRS) that operates independently to GPS.
“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 Dr 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.”
The unit offers GNSS spoofing detection, dead reckoning operation, and requires less than 6W of power.
