About
Advanced Navigation builds inertial navigation systems for environments where GPS does not work or cannot be trusted: subsea, underground mines, defence operations, and contested aerospace. Their hardware, paired with AI-driven sensor fusion and dead-reckoning algorithms, lets autonomous vehicles, ships, and aircraft maintain position when satellite signals are denied, degraded, or jammed. Customer logos published on their site include Boeing, Airbus, Anduril, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Fortescue. The product range includes fibre-optic gyro INS units, MEMS-based GNSS systems, and underwater inertial systems for autonomous subsea vehicles. Headquartered in Sydney, founded in 2012 by Xavier Orr and Chris Shaw. The company has expanded internationally with offices in the US and Europe but the engineering and manufacturing core remains in Sydney. One of the higher-revenue Australian-owned AI hardware companies, with the kind of customer base that suggests the technology actually works in the demanding environments it claims.
