Advanced Navigation builds compact, rugged inertial navigation systems that fuse fiber‑optic gyroscopes or high‑accuracy MEMS IMUs with dual‑antenna RTK GNSS and AI‑driven sensor‑fusion to deliver continuous, centimeter‑level positioning and true north heading without reliance on magnetic sensors. Designed for GPS‑denied, degraded or contested environments, their Boreas 50 and Certus Evo product lines meet MIL‑STD‑810H and IP67 standards and integrate via multiple protocols for defense, aerospace, mining, subsea and autonomous vehicle applications.

Problem
Accurate navigation in GPS‑denied, degraded or contested environments is difficult because traditional GNSS‑only solutions lose reliability, and many inertial systems are bulky, power‑hungry, or lack robust heading without magnetic sensors.
Solution
Advanced Navigation provides compact, rugged inertial navigation systems that combine fiber‑optic gyroscope (FOG) or high‑accuracy MEMS IMUs with dual‑antenna RTK GNSS and software‑enhanced sensor fusion. The Boreas 50 series delivers north‑seeking gyrocompassing, enabling precise heading without GNSS or magnetometers, while the Certus Evo line offers ultra‑high‑accuracy MEMS INS with AI‑based fusion and dual‑frequency RTK for centimeter‑level positioning. Integrated multi‑protocol interfaces, IP67/ MIL‑STD‑810H ruggedization, and low SWaP‑C design allow seamless integration into tactical vehicles, maritime platforms, drones, and underground or subsea equipment, ensuring continuous, high‑precision navigation even under jamming, spoofing, or harsh environmental conditions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are defense and aerospace platforms, autonomous ground and maritime vehicles, mining and subsea equipment manufacturers, and high‑performance robotics integrators that require reliable navigation in GNSS‑challenged or hostile environments.
