Canada deploys technology to support Arctic navigation systems

Canadian companies Calian Group and Tessellate Robotics have joined forces to develop and test integrated positioning technology designed for GPS-denied Arctic environments.

Integrated positioning technology utilizes high-precision GNSS antennas to enhance positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities. This technology is designed to ensure the operation of navigation systems in extreme weather conditions and limited infrastructure. The hybrid navigation system is designed to ensure the uninterrupted operation of autonomous platforms in the harshest environments.

This project integrates global navigation satellite system (GNSS) antennas, positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies, and robotics software into a single system designed to support autonomous operations. In addition to defense applications, the system is designed for dual-use applications, including energy, mining, and critical infrastructure.

Canada is currently strengthening its presence in the Arctic and advancing the modernization of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Reliable navigation is becoming a strategic imperative.
