ANELLO Photonics Navigation System Selected for BlackSea Technologies Chaser Vessel

Apr 20, 2026
ANELLO Photonics announced that its Maritime Inertial Navigation System has been integrated into BlackSea Technologies' Chaser autonomous surface vessel, providing resilient navigation in GPS-denied environments.

In a press release, ANELLO Photonics announced that its Maritime Inertial Navigation System (INS) has been selected for integration into BlackSea Technologies' Chaser autonomous surface vessel. The system was chosen following successful demonstrations on the GARC platform.

The ANELLO Maritime INS is built on the company’s Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope technology and provides precise positioning and heading without reliance on external signals. This allows the Chaser vessel to maintain navigation accuracy in environments where GPS is unavailable or disrupted.

BlackSea Technologies' Chaser platform is designed for missions such as surveillance and security operations. The integration of ANELLO’s system enables continuous navigation performance across contested and GNSS-denied areas, supporting reliable operation for uncrewed maritime missions.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
