ANELLO PHOTONICS: DEFEATING GPS JAMMING AND SPOOFING

June 15, 2026, Eurosatory Daily - ANELLO Photonics provides customers with precise, reliable GPS-denied navigation solutions that it claims cannot be jammed or spoofed in land, air and sea ap plications. At the core of ANELLO’s technology is the Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG™), a solution based on integrated silicon photonic system-on chip technology that delivers fibre optic performance in a very small form factor.

A patented silicon photonics integrated circuit (PIC) replaces the discrete optical components (couplers, phase modulators, TM filters and detector) found in the classical interferometric fibre optic gyroscope (FOG). The integrated SiPhOG™ provides considerable reduction in component costs and dimensional volume as compared to an equivalent high-performance traditional FOG implementation.

ANELLO’s SIPHOG™-based military solutions are particularly suited for use in uncrewed and autonomous vehicles in all domains. The X3 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which ANELLO claims is the world’s smallest and lightest three-axis high-performance optical gyroscope IMU and is built specifically for UAVs and UUVs, leverages three SiPhOG™ units as low-noise and low-drift optical smart sensors, each containing its own independent six-axis redundant IMU sensor. Measuring 51x51x44.5mm, the X3 weighs 182g.

It is designed to ‘plug-and-play’ with both the PX4 and ArduPilot open-source autopilot systems, widely used for autonomous UAVs. ANELLO adds its own AI solution, which will automatically detect the loss of GPS guidance and create a navigation solution which enables the UAV to continue its mission.

The Maritime Inertial Navigation System (INS), measuring 112x86x48mm and weighing 454g, integrates SIPHOG™  technology with ANELLO’s advanced sensor fusion engine to support navigation by autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and autonomous underwater vessels (AUVs) in GPS-denied environments. ANELLO also has SIPHOG™-based solutions designed for eVTOLs and robotics.

In January 2026 ANELLO was selected by the US Department of War for a $20 million award under the Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies (APFIT) programme. The award will fast track procurement, production and scaling of ANEL LO’s GPS-denied navigation technology. The APFIT se lection builds on a strong track record of defence wins, including US Navy Phase I and US Army Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards.

Most recently, ANELLO announced that its technology has been selected for integration into BlackSea Technologies’ Chaser autonomous surface vessel. In addition, ANELLO has also announced integration with Vatn Systems for its UUV products.

Dr. Mario Paniccia, CEO of ANELLO Photonics, commented “With the support of our Navy and Marine Corps partners, we’re accelerating the deployment of mission-ready technologies that redefine performance in GPS-denied environments. As ANELLO scales globally, we are laying the groundwork for a strong European presence with the goal to bring next-generation navigation capabilities to allied forces and commercial partners across the region.”
