Advanced Navigation, a leading developer of GNSS aided inertial navigation systems, AHRS and other 3D navigation technologies, based in Sydney has announced that it is going to craft a quantum-enhanced inertial navigation solution for Space launch vehicles, satellites and landers, in partnership with Q+CTRL, a quantum technology company.
The international aerospace community has said that the inertial navigation systems, developed by Advanced Navigation is ground-breaking, as reported by a geospatial media house.
Chris Shaw, Co-CEO, Advanced Navigation, said, “In the long-term view of this critical initiative, team activities following this project will establish an ongoing manufacturing opportunity and capacity that is central to the emerging Australian space industry.”
The solution is designed to focus on inertial navigation technology for long-endurance space missions, which will help the Artemis Lunar Exploration Program, NASA’s Space exploration initiative. It will also enable NASA and its partners in the international Space exploration community to perform deep Space, lunar and planetary missions, which were earlier difficult to execute.
Advanced Navigation offers a diverse range of deep tech fields such as underwater acoustics, GPS, radio frequency systems, sensors and robotics. Over the years it has managed to associate itself with several big companies including Airbus, Boeing, Tesla, Google, Apple and General Motors.
Artemis is NASA’s human lunar exploration plan, with the program aiming to send the first woman and next man to the surface of the Moon by 2024. Scientists have long acknowledged the Moon as a rich source of information regarding Earth and the Solar System. Using the findings from the Moon. NASA will then prepare to launch missions to Mars.
