In 2015 the organization released an AI platform for multi-drone procedures in calamity control.Advanced Navigating extended its production ability through opening up Australia's most extensive subsea robotics center to create its autonomous marine drone, Hydrus, which advances underwater armed forces intelligence information along with treatments in change diagnosis, mine countermeasure as well as Quick Atmosphere Examination.In late 2022, US personal equity organization KKR, supported Advanced Navigating in $108 million Set B, sustained by AI Funds and existing underwriters Key Pattern, Malcolm Turnbull, In-Q-Tel, and also OIF.Prender possesses greater than 20 years of adventure in the worldwide protection commercial base, with proficiency in what's called C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Knowledge, Monitoring and Surveillance) technologies as well as uncrewed as well as robotic systems.
