Teardown: GPS-Denied Navigation
c/o Anello, SiPhOG™ - enables inertial navigation for GPS-Denied environments.
Founding Sponsor
Anello
Anello Photonics makes inertial navigation systems built around its SiPhOG™ — a silicon photonics optical gyroscope that delivers precision positioning without GPS, in a smaller and cheaper package than traditional fiber-optic gyros. Their systems run across UAVs, ground robots, maritime vessels, and defense platforms where GPS can't be trusted.
