The company said the funding will strengthen research and development; expand its SynCore navigation controller series and YDX inertial sensors; advance a hardware-agnostic navigation platform; and support the long-term development of indigenous high-precision MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes.

Its technologies are designed for applications ranging from drones and ground robots to underwater vehicles, satellites and other mission-critical autonomous platforms.
