Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO and founder of ANELLO Photonics, will present on recent developments in inertial navigation systems (INS) utilizing the company’s Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG™).
The talk “Enabling Navigation in GPS-Denied and GPS-Contested Environments” will take place on Tuesday May 20 2025 at 11:20-11:55 am CDT in the Solutions Theater XPO Hall at Xponential 2025, hosted at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
This talk will be of interest to engineers and system architects working on navigation, guidance, and autonomy in constrained or GNSS-denied operational environments.
The SiPhOG is thought to be the smallest known optical gyroscope implemented on a silicon photonics platform, enabling compact, high-precision inertial sensors. Dr. Paniccia’s session will provide a detailed overview of the design, integration, and performance characteristics of this photonic gyroscope and its role in delivering navigation-grade accuracy in environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable.
ANELLO’s inertial solutions incorporate the SiPhOG into both IMUs and full INS configurations. These systems are engineered to support operation across a range of dynamic environments and platforms, including ground vehicles, aerial systems, and maritime assets. The presentation will also include data on long-duration drift performance, SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) metrics, and system-level integration strategies for autonomous applications.
The ANELLO team will be located at Booth #1909.
