How Silicon Photonics Enables GPS-Denied Inertial Navigation | ANELLO Photonics

How can autonomous systems maintain accurate navigation when GPS/GNSS is jammed, spoofed, or unavailable? From the 2026 Sensing Technology Summit, Mario Paniccia, CEO and Chairman of ANELLO Photonics, discusses GPS-denied navigation with integrated silicon photonics and how ANELLO’s SiPhOG™ technology enables compact, high-performance inertial navigation solutions. Mario explains the fundamentals of optical gyroscopes and the Sagnac effect, how ANELLO integrates optical gyro technology onto a silicon photonics platform, and how the ANELLO SiPhOG™ is used across inertial measurement units (IMUs) and inertial navigation systems (INS). The presentation also explores real-world GPS/GNSS-denied and spoofed navigation applications across: • Ground vehicles and autonomous agriculture • UAVs and fixed-wing aircraft • Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) • Maritime platforms • Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) • Defense and commercial autonomous systems Through land, air, and sea testing, ANELLO demonstrates how high-performance inertial navigation can provide resilient positioning when satellite navigation becomes unreliable or unavailable.
