Advanced Navigation adds new 50 series to Boreas range of inertial navigation systems

Sydney-based electronics company Advanced Navigation has made two new additions to its Boreas range of inertial navigation systems (INS.)

According to a statement from the company on Thursday, their new 50 Series of fibre optic gyroscopes includes the A50, an attitude and heading reference system (AHRS); and the D50, a strategic-grade INS. 

Both are available from October and are claimed to be the company’s most compact fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) INS from the company so far.

Available the following month is a strategic-grade version of the D50, which “also offers an extra layer of protection through optional Electronic Counter-Countermeasure (ECCM) capabilities”.

Head of Product Maximilian Doemling said: “The modern battlefield is no longer defined by only physical boundaries, but by electromagnetic dominance. In this new reality, assuming navigation will ‘just work' is a mission-critical oversight.

 “The Boreas 50 Series goes beyond a traditional INS. In heavily contested zones, the D50’s advanced ECCM capabilities deliver uncompromising protection against nefarious attempts of GNSS jamming and spoofing. 

“It is a powerful counter-EW solution built to operate under direct electronic attack, giving operators the resilience and reliability they need to stay on course against any adversary.”

Advanced Navigation assembles its INS at a factory opened in 2023 at University of Technology Sydney’s Tech Lab in Botany, Sydney.

It is one of only four companies in the world that produces strategic-grade FOG components.
