Overview

ANELLO Photonics is a navigation sensor company whose Silicon Photonic Optical Gyro (SiPhOG™) technology powers inertial navigation systems (INS) and IMUs for GPS-denied environments. Its product line spans maritime, aerial, and ground applications, including the ANELLO X3 IMU, a 3-axis optical gyro IMU compatible with PX4 and ArduPilot. The company states its mission is to democratize access to high-performance, low-cost, compact navigation sensors.

History

ANELLO Photonics presents itself as a pioneer in silicon photonics and sensory technology, combining experience in these fields to deliver next-generation inertial navigation sensors. The company states its mission is to fill a void where high-quality meets low-cost in navigation sensors, believing access to high-performance sensors should be democratized for every possible application, and noting its technology is compact enough to fit almost anywhere. Its executive team includes CEO Dr. Mario Paniccia, an executive with over 20 years in the photonics industry who previously was at Intel, achieving the level of Intel Fellow, CTO & GM of the Silicon Photonics Group; COO Dr. Kevin Sullivan, with over 20 years in photonics and fiber optics, who previously spent 14 years at Intel Corporation commercializing optical technologies including silicon photonics and also worked at Lucent Technologies in their fiber optics division; and VP Aerial Solutions Dr. Walter Stockwell, a technology leader specializing in navigation systems, aviation safety, and autonomous systems, who previously was at DJI, Starsky Robotics, and WhiteFox Defense Technologies.
