In 2013 the agency launched an AI platform for multi-drone functions in calamity monitoring.Advanced Navigating prolonged its manufacturing capability through opening Australia's most extensive subsea robotics location to generate its independent marine drone, Hydrus, which advances marine armed forces intelligence along with applications in change detection, mine countermeasure as well as Swift Environment Examination.In advanced 2022, United States personal capital firm KKR, backed Advanced Navigating in $108 million Series B, sustained through AI Capital and also existing backers Main Series, Malcolm Turnbull, In-Q-Tel, as well as OIF.Prender has much more than two decades of adventure in the international protection commercial bottom, with know-how in what's referred to as C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cleverness, Security as well as Surveillance) modern technologies as well as uncrewed as well as robotic systems.
