At Advanced Navigation, we build true resilience by fusing high-precision inertial navigation with intelligent sensors. This ensures autonomous systems adapt in real time where other systems struggle.
We didn’t achieve this level of resilience by designing for comfortable conditions and stress-testing at the end. We built it by starting at the extreme and working backwards – backed by end-to-end R&D, rigorous field validation, and complete control over our manufacturing.
We specialize in inertial navigation, robotics, photonics, quantum sensing, artificial intelligence, underwater acoustics, and GNSS/GPS technologies.
We design and build high-precision hardware in-house to deliver quality and bypass reliance on fragile global supply networks.
We deliver navigation solutions globally, often in weeks not years, facilitating short lead times for customers requiring faster outcomes.
Our forward-deployed engineers work directly with clients to ensure seamless hardware integration and continuous reliability in the world’s most extreme environments.
Advanced Navigation operates a network of global offices to manufacture, distribute, and support industries worldwide. Advanced Navigation maintains dedicated offices across three primary regions: America, EMEA, and APAC.
