ANELLO
<p><strong><span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">SANTA CLARA</span></span></strong> &#8212; ANELLO Photonics, creator of the Silicon Photonic Optical Gyroscope (SiPhOG), announced the successful closure of its Series B funding round reflecting robust investor confidence in the company&#8217;s groundbreaking approach to inertial navigation in GPS-denied environments. The investment was co-led by Lockheed Martin, Catapult Ventures and One Madison Group. Additional investors included New Legacy, Build Collective, Trousdale Ventures, In-Q-Tel (IQT), K2 Access Fund, Purdue Strategic Ventures, Santuri Ventures, Handshake Ventures, Irongate Capital and Mana Ventures. This funding round will accelerate ANELLO&#8217;s mission to revolutionize navigation and positioning in GPS-denied environments across both Industrial and Defense applications.</p>
<p>The participation of new investors highlights the significant interest in ANELLO&#8217;s groundbreaking SiPhOG technology which brings high precision optical fiber gyro performance onto an integrated silicon photonics platform. ANELLO&#8217;s solutions are perfectly designed to meet the rigorous demands of navigation, positioning, and motion tracking for autonomous applications in challenging GPS-jammed and spoofed environments.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every week there&#8217;s an article about a commercial flight or defense-related mission getting GPS jammed like thousands of flights to and from <span class="xn-location">Europe</span> affected by suspected Russian jamming. GPS has become a single-point of failure because it&#8217;s too easily compromised with various jamming &; spoofing techniques. ANELLO&#8217;s proven and commercially available optical gyroscope is the only navigational tool that can take over: precision over long periods of time, the size of a golf ball, low power, low cost, that&#8217;s immune to shock and vibration. ANELLO will save lives in the air, on the road, and over water,&#8221; said Tony Fadell Build Collective Principal and Nest Founder.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are excited to announce our new series B funding round as well as our new investors in ANELLO&#8221; said Dr. <span class="xn-person">Mario Paniccia</span>, CEO and co-founder of ANELLO Photonics. &#8220;This investment not only validates our SiPhOG technology and products in the marketplace but will allow us to accelerate our manufacturing and product development as we continue to push the boundaries and leadership for navigation capabilities and performance to our customers who want solutions for GPS-denied environments.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re committed to fostering the art of the possible with investments in cutting edge technologies, including advancements in inertial navigation that have the potential to enhance autonomous operations in GPS-denied environments,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Chris Moran</span>, Vice President and General Manager of Lockheed Martin Ventures. &#8220;Our continued investment in ANELLO reflects our mission to accelerate technologies that can ultimately benefit national security.&#8221;</p>
<p>ANELLO Photonics is actively collaborating with leading customers across diverse industries, including Construction, Agriculture, Trucking, Robotics, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, Defense and National Security.</p>
