ANELLO Photonics Launches Aerial INS
ANELLO Photonics, the creator of the Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG™) and a leader in solid-state, high-precision inertial navigation systems, today announced the launch of the ANELLO Aerial INS, a compact, high-performance inertial navigation system built around the company's Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope technology and integrated with multi-band GNSS receivers. The ANELLO Aerial INS is purpose-built for demanding aerial platforms—including BVLOS UAS, maritime/shipborne VTOL UAS, ISR/special-mission aircraft, heavy-lift and cargo drones, and other autonomous aerial vehicles. The system is powered by an advanced EKF-based sensor fusion engine and ANELLO flight-profile-tuned algorithms, consistently delivering >98% navigation accuracy without the need for cameras or fiber-optic cables.
