Reading the Room’s Magnetic Personality

Tracy Cozzens — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 20:05:19 +0000

New algorithm cuts indoor positioning error by nearly half Conventional indoor positioning often depends on expensive Wi-Fi or Bluetooth infrastructure, or on inertial sensors that accumulate drift within seconds. Magnetic navigation has emerged as a promising alternative because steel structures and electronics leave buildings with unique, location-specific magnetic signatures. However, existing map-free methods rely on […]

Exail introduces inertial navigation system for amphibious operations

Tracy Cozzens — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:47:36 +0000

Exail has unveiled the Advans Vega SL, a new high-precision inertial navigation system that maintains navigation continuity across amphibious operations. In contested littoral environments, maintaining reliable navigation across the sea-to-land transition remains a persistent challenge for amphibious forces. In the event of GNSS jamming, spoofing or signal unavailability, the Advans Vega SL operates independently of […]
