Sub-0.1% Error at 1.4km Depth: How Advanced Navigation Conquered Europe’s Deepest Mine Without GPS
Underground autonomy requires navigation that works without GPS, fixed beacons, or pre-existing maps. Through BHP’s Deep Mining Open Call, Advanced Navigation demonstrated a hybrid inertial-laser system achieving sub-0.1% navigation error at 1.4km depth in Europe’s deepest mine. outperforming surface GPS accuracy underground.
Learn how infrastructure-independent navigation reduces deployment time and cost while enabling fleet coordination, collision avoidance, and scalable autonomy. This Australian technology is foundational to mining’s autonomous future and demonstrates what’s possible when open innovation challenges meet world-class engineering.
Evaluate your underground navigation infrastructure. Could infrastructure-independent systems reduce your deployment costs and accelerate your autonomy roadmap?
