Advanced Navigation is trusted by leading figures in the maritime industry to manufacture high-accuracy inertial sensors and acoustic positioning systems for marine and offshore applications.
The company’s MEMS, FOG, and acoustic-based navigation products are designed to fit a wide range of use cases, including subsea and surface vessel-based surveying, tracking, and platform stabilization.
For survey and inspection, there is no better Advanced Navigation product than the Hydrus miniature autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). With 4K capabilities, this compact and portable AUV has been designed to capture high-resolution subsea imagery and combine it with precise geo-referencing data.
Using a broad range of sensors (USBL, DVL, INS) on top of optical and acoustic modems and powerful lighting, Hydrus can operate up to 3000m deep, making it ideal for environmental monitoring, oil and gas inspections, wreckage mapping, and more.
A deep-dive into the Hydrus AUV was featured in some of the company’s recent news, as well as it’s use in a project to apply geo-referenced imagery in the development of a high-resolution virtual replica of a 100-year-old shipwreck.
Advanced Navigation’s latest achievement, however, is their impressive selection as the navigation provider for the Orient Express Racing Team in this years’ America’s Cup sailing competition, held off the coast of Barcelona. The company’s Spatial FOG Dual and the Certus INS are supporting two of the team’s yachts, providing precision navigation at up to 55 knots.
The company’s range of acoustic navigation systems is not limited to the Spatial and Certus lines, with Advanced Navigation also producing the Boreas D90 digital FOG GNSS-INS.
Their wider selection of products boasts a variety of miniature high-performance IMUs and AHRS, as well as the Subsonus advanced miniature USBL underwater acoustic positioning system. The Subsonus line also includes the Tag, a low-cost tracking capability for AUVs, ROVs, and other subsea vehicles.
