Advanced Navigation Demonstrates Inertial Navigation for US Army's APEX Experiment

DEFENSE

In April 2025, Advanced Navigation showcased its Boreas D90 fiber-optic gyroscope inertial navigation system during the US Army's APEX experiment. The technology proved effective in GNSS-degraded conditions by integrating with a laser velocity sensor and wheel-speed encoder, achieving a 0.012% error over 65 km during night operations in New Mexico.

APEX, designed to simulate complex electronic warfare threats, demonstrated the potential for reliable navigation in future defense applications. Advanced Navigation anticipates further participation in APEX in 2026, focusing on integrated sensing and advanced communication systems.
