ANELLO Photonics, the creator of the SiPhOG™ (Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope) and a leading provider of cutting-edge photonics solutions for navigation in GPS-denied environments, has been awarded a Phase II Option SBIR contract for the U.S. Navy.
ANELLO was awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the U.S. Navy due to its innovative optical gyroscope technology and its unique sensor fusion engine, after successfully completing Phase I Option under the “N234-P02: NAVAIR Open Topic for Logistics in a Contested Environment.”
Across the thirty-month period, ANELLO will demonstrate the capabilities of its innovative optical gyroscope technology and sensor fusion technology for navigation in environments without GPS.
The Phase II SBIR award enables ANELLO to showcase to the U.S. Navy its cutting-edge integrated photonics technology together with its products using the ANELLO AI-based sensor fusion engine. This will ensure that the U.S. Navy platforms can maintain high-accuracy navigation in challenging GPS-denied situations.
“We are excited to work with the U.S. Navy and provide them access to our innovative and cutting-edge technology,” said Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics. “Within this program, the U.S. Navy can directly evaluate and experience first-hand the benefits of the ANELLO products for navigation in GPS-denied or contested environments.”
ANELLO Photonics will also be attending DSEI 2025.
ANELLO Photonics is currently engaged with various market-leading customers in the Construction, Farming, Trucking, Robotics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, and National Security space.
