About
About ANELLO Photonics
ANELLO Photonics develops silicon-photonics optical gyroscopes and inertial-navigation systems for environments where satellite positioning is degraded or unavailable. Its current product surface includes ANELLO Maritime INS, Aerial INS, Ground INS, Ground INS/ATAK Kit, X3 IMU and an evaluation kit, with SiPhOG technology at the core of the sensing approach.
The products sit in the localization and navigation layer of maritime, aerial, ground, robotic, construction, agricultural and autonomous-vehicle systems. They provide inertial inputs to a host platform that still requires its own perception, control and mission software; accuracy, interfaces, aiding sensors and operating limits remain tied to the selected ANELLO product and application.
