A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between Hanwha and Advanced Navigation with the objective of advancing military navigation technology
Advanced Navigation has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Defence Australia (HDA) to co-develop strategic-grade APNT (Accurate Positioning, Navigation and Timing) solutions. The collaboration aims to develop high-performance inertial navigation systems (INS) for autonomous, airborne and manned systems to address precision targeting and vehicle navigation requirements in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference environments.
The agreement, signed on the opening day of the Army International Defence Exhibition 2024, signifies a joint effort by the three companies to integrate Advanced Navigation's advanced technologies into Hanwha Aerospace's global supply chain to advance its strategic interests in the Australian and international markets.
It is also worth noting that Septentrio is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-precision GPS/GNSS receivers capable of delivering decimetre or centimetre-level accuracy in demanding applications.
Septentrio's mosaic-X5 GNSS module is a multi-band, multi-constellation GPS/GNSS receiver designed for mass-market applications and capable of delivering centimetre-level positioning performance in challenging environments.
. The module incorporates Septentrio's unique AIM+ technology, which mitigates interference to ensure optimal availability, reliability and accuracy.
Supporting all current and future GNSS satellite signals, the mosaic-X5 module is a future-proof solution ideal for autonomous systems and robotics applications requiring a high-performance GNSS receiver.

The collaboration between Advanced Navigation, Hanwha Aerospace and Hanwha Defence Australia, combining Septentrio's expertise in GNSS technology, will further advance the development of high-precision navigation technology and provide strong support to the global military supply chain. Through this collaboration, it can be expected that innovative solutions will be developed to address the need for precision targeting, safe navigation and synchronised operations in situations where GNSS signals may be attenuated.
