Advanced Navigation America expands manufacturing in Alabama for autonomous systems
What happened
Advanced Navigation America is expanding its manufacturing capacity in Huntsville, Alabama, backed by a $110 million Series C round. This new Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Center of Excellence will research and manufacture deep technologies, including AI, quantum sensing, and laser sensing. These technologies are designed to help autonomous systems in mining and heavy industries operate precisely in GPS-denied environments.
