BHP trial records sub-0.1% drift with Boreas and Chimera Land

Aug 11, 2025 · Demonstration · Advanced Navigation · Sensors

BHP evaluated Boreas and Chimera Land over a 22-kilometre underground route.

The BHP challenge provides a measured GNSS-denied result for the combined Boreas and Chimera Land architecture across a long underground route, rather than a generic mining-navigation claim.

  • The trial took place at Callio Mine in Pyhäjärvi, Finland.
  • The hybrid navigation system operated through a GNSS-denied underground environment.
  • Measured inertial-navigation drift remained below 0.1 percent over the route.

Advanced Navigation develops positioning, navigation and autonomy systems for robots, vehicles and maritime platforms operating in GPS-denied or communications-limited environments.
