A Decade of Innovation

 

Inertial Sense, now part of NovAtel, was founded in 2013 with a simple vision: make precision navigation so compact, lightweight, and affordable that it could be deployed virtually anywhere. Recognizing early that the rapidly growing markets for drones, mobile robotics, aerospace and defense, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation would require scalable, cost-effective navigation solutions, the company set out to make high-precision positioning and autonomy-enabling technologies accessible to organizations of all sizes.

Today, Inertial Sense delivers dependable, scalable navigation solutions that help customers build increasingly autonomous systems with confidence. In 2026, Inertial Sense became part of Hexagon and is being integrated into NovAtel to expand its technology portfolio and accelerate the delivery of high-performance positioning, navigation, and autonomy solutions across an even broader range of industries and applications.
