Kongsberg’s North-Seeking Navigation Lets Drones, Subsea Vehicles Ditch GPS

Kongsberg Discovery is advancing GPS-free navigation by turning small, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) into north-seeking devices that detect Earth’s rotation.

Developed in collaboration with Silicon Sensing Systems, the device is based on a proprietary inertial measurement unit (IMU) and delivers high-precision navigation in a small, lightweight package.

Its solid-state design is optimized for mass production and cost efficiency, while providing tactical-grade accuracy and resilience against jamming and spoofing.
