Dirac Labs has raised $1.8 million in pre-seed funding to advance a quantum navigation system designed to operate where conventional GNSS positioning becomes unavailable, including underwater, underground and other GPS-denied environments. The Madison, Wisconsin-based startup…
A European Space Agency study has identified a significant shift in the positioning requirements of automated vehicles, concluding that the next major challenge is no longer simply achieving greater location accuracy. The research, conducted by…
NASA has demonstrated a new approach to autonomous spacecraft navigation that can determine a satellite’s orbit without relying on GPS or continuous support from ground-based tracking networks. The technology, known as FALCON, or Fast Autonomous…
Canada is investing C$20.3 million in a new quantum defense hub in Calgary that will target technologies capable of maintaining navigation, timing and communications when conventional satellite-based systems are degraded, jammed or deliberately spoofed. The…
NASA’s Navigation Doppler Lidar is preparing for another trip to the Moon after its first lunar demonstration delivered highly accurate altitude and velocity measurements during Intuitive Machines’ historic IM-1 mission in 2024. The laser-based navigation…
Innoviz Technologies has entered a development program with an unnamed top 10 global automotive manufacturer to create and validate a complete LiDAR-based perception stack for automated highway driving. The project will combine the company’s InnovizTwo…
Norwegian agricultural technology company Monil has launched its virtual fencing and cattle monitoring system in the United States, giving livestock producers a way to manage rotational grazing from a smartphone without installing communication towers or…
India’s NavIC satellite navigation system can no longer calculate an independent position using only its own signals after the number of satellites providing Positioning, Navigation and Timing services fell to three. The latest reduction followed…
Heathrow Airport has officially launched a new enterprise geospatial platform designed to centralize infrastructure data, simplify operational workflows, and improve decision making across one of the world’s most complex transportation hubs. The new system, called…
