🚀 From down under to the skies above, Advanced Navigation launches into #space! A key component of Space Machines Company’s Orbital Service Vehicle named #Optimus, our digital fibre-optic gyroscope, the #Boreas X90, took off on SpaceX's Transporter 10 rideshare launch earlier this week. 🛰️ Optimus will enhance the operational life of crucial space infrastructure and satellites by providing repair, refuelling and upgrade services directly in orbit. Think of it as #RoadSideAssistance in space! 🫡 Now in low Earth Orbit, Boreas X90 will optimise the vehicle’s manoeuvres, providing precise orientation and positioning for satellite docking and ‘orbital jumps’. Congratulations to the entire team at Space Machines Company, and thank you to the Australian Space Agency for supporting us in this new era of space exploration. This is truly a monumental moment. #Navigate to the comments to learn more about Boreas X90’s journey.

Advanced Navigation’s photonics engineer Katherine Kinder recently sat down with The Byte Club Podcast to share her experience working in #STEM. The Byte Club Podcast aims to educate and elevate the world of technology through ‘byte’-sized information. Currently part of the team that develops Advanced Navigation’s world-leading fibre-optic gyroscope technology, Katherine dives deep into the science of #optical interferometry, Australia’s research and manufacturing capabilities, and how she pursued an education that led her to where she is today. Listen to the full conversation here on Episode 5: https://lnkd.in/ePmrMEwP

Thrilled to see #Hydrus made it as a finalist in the 2024 Indian Ocean Defence & Security (IODS) Innovation Awards, for the category ‘Emerging Technology’. The Awards aim to highlight innovators at the forefront of new technology, delivering solutions focused on solving operational challenges in #defence. Hydrus is fully researched, developed and manufactured on local soil. Designed as #DualUse for both defence and commercial applications, Hydrus is poised to revolutionise #underwater intelligence, surveillance and safety across diverse industries. The team looks forward to attending the awards ceremony this month. Meet the other finalists here: https://lnkd.in/g_6nhvzd

Another example of #robotic technology helping to build more sustainable communities. This robot #drone called the Waste Shark is cleaning up the waterways in Leeds. Equipped with #GPS, collision-avoidance technology and a camera, the drone can be remotely controlled from the riverside, scooping up some 500 kilograms of waste from the surface through its wide mouth. With millions of debris and litter floating in the waterways, technologies such as Waste Shark help to prevent them from being accidentally ingested by wildlife and from going further beyond the city and out into the sea.

“The vast expanse of the ocean, once seen as a formidable natural barrier, has turned into a contested domain where nations strive for maritime superiority and to safeguard economic interests.” Our featured article on Defence Connect Australia examines how innovative technology like autonomous #underwaterdrones will have a crucial role in gathering ocean intelligence. ⚓🌊 Drawing from our recent field demonstration at the ReefWorks Technology Range with Australian Institute of Marine Science, Advanced Navigation Micro-AUV #Hydrus was utilised for seabed mapping and infrastructure assessment. It is becoming increasingly clear the future of naval intelligence will be significantly redefined by autonomous systems. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g7wAe3AW

The rise in global #GPS spoofing incidents are pushing critical industries to look beyond traditional approaches for #navigation. A reliable counterpart is Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (#APNT) solutions. For example, a high-performance inertial navigation system or #INS can assess comprehensive data collected from multiple sensors and ignore any #spoofing it identifies. This ensures the vehicle has complete, reliable and accurate data at any given time. This article greatly sums up Advanced Navigation's perspective on this issue, and what the private sector must do to combat spoofing. Head over for a read: https://lnkd.in/gCTsGMCe

Researchers from Tampere University and the University of Pittsburgh have co-developed a tiny #robot which replicates the aerial movements of a falling maple seed. Inspired by the wind-dispersed seeds which are common among maple trees, this robot can be used for environment monitoring or for dropping off small samples in inaccessible areas like deserts, mountains, or the open sea. Using a light-activated smart material, the team can control the gliding mode of the robot. They said this could be a game-changer for search-and-rescue missions, studying endangered species, and even infrastructure monitoring. Read about the full innovation here: https://lnkd.in/gNEmUuv2

June has been a remarkable month for the NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration as it celebrates its annual #NationalOceanMonth. This year’s motto, "Conserve, Restore, Protect," leaves no doubt about what is urgent and calls us to action. 🌊🪸 Throughout the month, NOAA has launched various initiatives to bring awareness to different areas of ocean science. This week, they turn our attention to #Hydrography, the science of surveying and mapping oceans, seas, lakes and other bodies of water. To help build awareness, we are sharing a breathtaking 3D model of the #UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef (off the coast of Western Australia), captured by our hand-deployable underwater drone, Hydrus. The true wonder of these models lies in their exceptional quality and high resolution, allowing us to monitor these sites over time and track even the slightest changes in the marine environment, including coral growth and health. Discover and interact with our 3D #Photogrammetry model in the comments below.
