Advanced Navigation has secured a USD18.5 million supply agreement with KONGSBERG. Under the deal, Advanced Navigation will supply hundreds of its Boreas Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) Inertial Navigation System (INS) for integration into KONGSBERG’s PROTECTOR Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) platforms. The inertial systems provide precise positioning, orientation and heading, allowing C-UAS stations to accurately detect, track and engage air threats when GPS signals are jammed, spoofed or unavailable.
The PROTECTOR platforms will be delivered to the Polish Armaments Agency as part of a NOK 16 billion deal (about USD1.74 billion), to protect the country against the evolving air threats.
