Advanced Navigation have released a new Boreas 50 series, a compact fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) inertial navigation system (INS).
The 50 Series includes the A50, an attitude and heading reference system (AHRS); and the D50, a strategic-grade INS. Each is equipped with a North-seeking gyrocompass capable of rapidly determining true North.
The D50 is equipped with multi-band GNSS receivers, offering enhancements in signal availability, heading accuracy, and greater resilience in contested environments. For missions operating in particularly high-threat scenarios, it also offers an extra layer of protection through optional Electronic Counter-Countermeasure (ECCM) capabilities.
Maximilian Doemling, Head of Product at Advanced Navigation, said, “The modern battlefield is no longer defined by only physical boundaries, but by electromagnetic dominance. In this new reality, assuming navigation will ‘just work’ is a mission-critical oversight.
The Boreas 50 Series goes beyond a traditional INS. In heavily contested zones, the D50’s advanced ECCM capabilities deliver uncompromising protection against nefarious attempts of GNSS jamming and spoofing. It is a powerful counter-EW solution built to operate under direct electronic attack, giving operators the resilience and reliability they need to stay on course against any adversary.”
The Boreas 50 series allows for integration into defence platforms the Boreas A50 and D50 are available from early October 2025. The Boreas D50 with ECCM capabilities is available from mid November 2025.
