# Advanced Navigation Plans Huntsville Manufacturing

Australia-based Advanced Navigation plans to begin manufacturing in Huntsville, Alabama, in 2027 through its U.S. operations. Planned production includes fiber optic gyroscopes, inertial navigation systems, and micro-electro-mechanical systems for defense and commercial customers. No specific government agency, contract, or procurement award is identified, but the planned U.S. production could expand domestic supply capacity for navigation technology buyers and contractors.

- Defense procurement teams and prime contractors can assess whether these products and the planned U.S. production location fit their sourcing needs; production is not scheduled to begin until 2027.
- The announcement identifies a potential domestic source for several navigation-system components, but provides no contract value, solicitation, or confirmed government demand.
- Advanced Navigation and its U.S. operations may be relevant to contractors seeking suppliers for defense or commercial navigation systems; the signal does not specify production volumes or procurement terms.
