In this episode of Mining NOW, host Rory Bamford sits down with Tim Laws, Senior Account Executive at Advanced Navigation, and Ted Evans, Head of Sales – The Americas, to explore how next-generation navigation technology is helping mining companies overcome these challenges in some of the world's most demanding environments. Advanced Navigation is redefining underground positioning with a breakthrough solution that combines a high-performance Inertial Navigation System (INS) with a Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS), delivering precise localization without relying on GPS, fixed infrastructure, pre-existing maps, or external aids. Tim and Ted discuss how the technology was successfully tested in Europe's deepest mine through the BHP Deep Mine Challenge, how it addresses historical INS drift limitations, and why mining companies across Australia, North America, and Latin America are increasingly demanding infrastructure-independent navigation solutions. The conversation also explores the business impact of accurate location intelligence, from fleet management and predictive collision avoidance to material tracking and maintaining the chain of custody of valuable ore.
