July 3, 2025 These 11 features work better if you go to bed with your Garmin smartwatch on your wrist. Whether you realize it or not, a lot is happening in your body while you’re sleeping. Your nerve cells reorganize, your body repairs cells, your energy levels are restored, and molecules such as hormones and proteins are released — all as you cycle through different sleep phases. It makes sense, then, that if you want the […]

Trajectories of the vehicle-borne experiment on Google earth. Panel a Presents the overall bird’s eye view of the experiment, while panels b and c are the snapshots of the vehicle starting and driving under the overpass, respectively. (Credit: Satellite Navigation) High-precision GNSS applications, such as real-time displacement monitoring and vehicle navigation, rely heavily on resolving carrier-phase ambiguities. However, traditional methods like the R-ratio and W-ratio tests often use empirical thresholds, which can lead to unreliable […]

June 30, 2025 Exploring important women’s health topics with data from Garmin devices. Everyday experiences of women — such as menstrual pain, breastfeeding or returning to physical activity after birth — impact millions of women each year. However, these women’s health topics have not been studied to the same degree as other areas of health research1. In 2023, the Garmin Health team collaborated with Labfront, a global organization specializing in health data analytics, to launch […]

TDK Corporation has introduced the Tronics AXO315T0, a high-temperature MEMS accelerometer designed for measurement while drilling (MWD) applications in the energy sector. The new sensor features a ±14 g input range and a digital interface, expanding TDK’s MEMS inertial sensor portfolio. The AXO315T0 uses TDK’s closed-loop architecture, which delivers advanced vibration rectification and resistance to operational shocks. The device maintains a bias residual error of 0.8 mg across its operating temperature range of minus 30°C […]

The compact quantum magnetometer is based on nitrogen vacancies (NV) in diamond and offers new applications in navigation, biomedicine, materials testing and geology. (Credit: Fraunhofer IAF) Fraunhofer IAF presented the latest version of its compact integrated quantum magnetometer at World of Quantum in Munich. The diamond-based system is characterized by its robustness, high integration density, and measurement sensitivity. It offers new measurement possibilities for a wide range of applications, including navigation. The highly integrated vector […]

Ukraine has received its first Shark ultralight aircraft with electronic warfare (EW) capabilities from the Czech-Slovak company Shark.Aero, reports European Security and Technology (ES&T), a German publication. The Shark can detect and jam enemy drones and will strengthen the defense of Ukraine against Russian attacks. The Shark’s two-seat tandem configuration was originally designed as a high-performance ultralight aircraft for civilian use. Its main features are its high speed of nearly 300 km/h and its maneuverability. The […]

Quantum sensing specialist Aquark Technologies has completed a second trial of its AQlock atomic clock system, facilitated by the Disruptive Capabilities and Technologies Office (DCTO) of the UK Royal Navy. The AQlock functioned continuously aboard HMS Pursuer in the Solent area over three days, what Aquark calls an important milestone for position, navigation and timing (PNT) technology and a step forward in the mission to reduce global reliance on GNSS. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory supported the […]

Figure 2. Endura Epoch OCXOs are unaffected by rapid temperature changes, as simulated by air flow that is turned on and off repeatedly. In the mission-critical world of aerospace and defense, where reliability and resilience can mean the difference between success and failure, precision timing is an essential technology for increasingly sophisticated and connected systems. Every nanosecond matters, whether ensuring UAVs operate safely or enabling secure real-time communication in high-threat environments. At the heart of […]

Parrot has unveiled the Anafi UKR (Ukraine) range of compact defense micro-UAV drones at the Paris Air Show. The micro-UAVs are built to meet the critical demands of field operations, from defense theaters to public safety missions. Developed for defense forces operating in high-threat environments, AnafiUKR brings together embedded AI, optical navigation, and full offline autonomy in a sub-1 kg format. Building on this foundation, Anafi UKR GOV adapts the platform’s capabilities to the needs of law enforcement, first responders and […]
