Beyond satellites: Why FOG inertial navigation is the new imperative for land warfare
[Sponsored] The era of uncontested GPS dominance is over. As counterspace threats and electronic warfare redefine the battlefield, learn how Exail’s Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) technology provides the high-end stability and autonomous “source of truth” required for land maneuver and precision fires in GNSS-denied environments.
The increasing sophistication of electronic warfare and counterspace capabilities has rendered traditional GPS reliance untenable for military operations, forcing immediate adaptation.
This shift indicates a critical transition in military navigation and targeting, directly impacting battlefield effectiveness and operational resilience in contested environments.
Reliance on external, vulnerable positioning systems is being displaced by autonomous, resilient inertial navigation, fundamentally altering how ground forces operate and achieve precision.
- · Defence contractors specializing in inertial navigation
- · Militaries investing in GNSS-denied capabilities
- · Companies with advanced sensor fusion technologies
- · Nations solely dependent on GPS for military operations
- · Legacy defence systems lacking resilient navigation
- · Technologies vulnerable to electronic warfare
Widespread adoption of FOG and similar alternative navigation systems across advanced militaries.
Increased investment in R&D for next-generation resilient navigation and timing solutions to counter new threats.
A potential re-evaluation of military doctrine and tactics that were heavily optimized for GPS-reliant precision.
