Advanced Navigation wins $18.5M deal to supply GPS-denied navigation for Kongsberg's Poland counter-drone system

Advanced Navigation has signed an $18.5 million agreement to supply inertial navigation systems for Kongsberg's PROTECTOR remote weapon-station-based counter-drone platforms, the Australian navigation-technology company said on 22 September 2026.

The systems are bound for Poland, where Kongsberg is delivering 18 counter-drone units. Advanced Navigation's inertial technology lets the platforms hold precise positioning and targeting even when GPS is jammed or spoofed — a growing requirement on the eastern flank of NATO, where electronic-warfare interference is routine. The company's product line is built around AI-enhanced inertial navigation, including its Boreas digital fibre-optic gyroscope, which delivers navigation without reliance on satellite signals.

The order marks a notable defence-market win for Advanced Navigation, whose GPS-alternative systems span land, air, sea and space applications.
