A significant recent development occurred in April 2025 when US-based Viavi Solutions Inc., specializing in advanced network testing and monitoring technologies, acquired Inertial Labs, Inc. This acquisition broadened Viavi's aerospace, defense, and industrial market reach by incorporating Inertial Labs' advanced orientation, positioning, and navigation solutions. These include Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), Assured Position Navigation and Timing (APNT), GNSS tracking, LiDAR scanning, alternative navigation technologies, and visual navigation systems.

Emerging Technological Trends Transforming the Attitude Heading Reference System Market
Industry leaders are focusing on developing high-performance strap-down systems to improve orientation accuracy and dependability in dynamic settings. These strap-down inertial navigation systems rely on accelerometers and gyroscopes mounted rigidly on platforms to provide continuous data on heading, pitch, and roll without using gimbals.
For example, in May 2023, Inertial Labs Incorporated unveiled the AHRS-II-P, a cutting-edge attitude and heading reference system featuring advanced gyroscopes and accelerometers. It supports dual-antenna global navigation satellite system input and is designed especially for space- and weight-constrained platforms. This system delivers precise attitude and heading information in highly dynamic environments, minimizes signal drift over time, and ensures accurate navigation even in areas with weak or blocked positioning signals.
