Advanced Navigation, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sydney, develops AI-powered navigation and autonomous systems designed for environments where GPS is unreliable or unavailable. The company’s technical work spans inertial navigation, acoustic navigation, MEMS and fibre-optic gyroscope sensors, quantum sensing, photonics, robotics, and AI neural networks. Its products include inertial navigation systems, acoustic navigation solutions, robotic platforms, and advanced sensors built on both MEMS and fibre-optic gyroscope technology.
The company’s systems serve demanding sectors including defence, aerospace, space, marine, and mining. Its customer base includes NASA, Airbus, Boeing, Google, Tesla, and Apple. Advanced Navigation maintains a global presence with offices across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, while keeping manufacturing in Australia for vertical integration and quality control.
Advanced Navigation originated from research at the University of Sydney and has since secured US$110 million in Series C funding. The company continues to develop next-generation sensing technologies at the intersection of photonics and artificial intelligence.
