How a Silicon Valley Startup Is Quietly Redefining Navigation
What happens when GPS fails — not just flickers, but is jammed, spoofed, or vanishes entirely?
For most systems, the answer is: you’re lost. But for Mario Paniccia, it was a challenge worth solving.
After a long career at Intel pioneering silicon photonics, Paniccia turned his attention to navigation, co-founding ANELLO Photonics to build a new kind of inertial sensor. One that packs the precision of high-end gyroscopes into a chip the size of a coin.
In this episode of Defense Disruptors, we speak with Paniccia about how the technology works, how it’s already being used in jammed war zones, and why he believes the GPS-free future is already here.
