ANELLO Photonics has received a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from the U.S. Navy. The six-month contract will allow ANELLO to demonstrate its optical gyroscope and sensor fusion technologies for navigation without relying on GPS.

Under the contract, the U.S. Navy will evaluate ANELLO’s integrated photonics technology and AI-based sensor fusion engine. These technologies aim to maintain accurate navigation in challenging environments where GPS signals may be unavailable or compromised.

ANELLO Photonics’ technology can be used for construction, agriculture, transportation, robotics, unmanned vehicles and national security. The company’s focus on navigation solutions for GPS-challenged scenarios aligns with growing needs in both military and civilian domains for reliable positioning systems in diverse environments.
