ANELLO Photonics has unveiled its new Maritime inertial navigation system (INS), which combines the company’s Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG) technology with an advanced sensor fusion engine. This system is specifically designed to provide high-precision navigation for autonomous surface and underwater vessels. By integrating optical gyroscope performance and silicon photonics technology, the ANELLO Maritime INS offers a compact, low-power consumption device that excels in GPS-challenged environments. It delivers reference-grade position, velocity, and attitude data output at 100Hz, with a high-precision three-axis SiPhOG boasting less than 0.5°/hr unaided heading drift.
The ANELLO Maritime INS features dual triple-frequency GNSS receivers with static heading capability and an AI-powered sensor fusion engine equipped with GNSS spoofing detection. This system provides accurate dead reckoning and is built to withstand harsh maritime conditions, being waterproof and resistant to corrosion, salt spray, and chemicals. Beyond its maritime applications, the INS has the potential to benefit industries like construction, agriculture, robotics, and defense. Its versatility and robust design make it a valuable tool for various sectors requiring precise and reliable navigation solutions.
In addition to its advanced capabilities, the ANELLO Maritime INS is equipped with cutting-edge technology that ensures optimal performance in challenging environments. The integration of Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope technology and a sensor fusion engine enables the system to deliver accurate and reliable navigation data at a high frequency. With its compact size, low power consumption, and resistance to harsh maritime conditions, this INS is a versatile and robust solution for a wide range of applications beyond the maritime industry. Its potential applications in industries such as construction, agriculture, robotics, and defense highlight its versatility and value as a navigation solution.
