What it sells
Photonic gyroscopes for navigation without GPS.
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedProgramme/engineering and procurement teams in defense, drones, robotics and autonomous vehicles.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
GNSS jamming, spoofing and signal loss (tunnels, mines, indoors, underwater) forcing platforms to navigate on inertial sensing; ITAR-free supply avoids US export approvals.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
IMU supplies rotation and acceleration data (RS-422 or CAN-FD) so a platform keeps computing its motion when satellite positioning is unavailable.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Fabless integrated-optics sensor company selling tactical IMUs (MK2M2, MK2E2 shipping; MK2Z navigation-grade prototype), claiming about one third the power of comparable units; 40 issued patents.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Direct 'Talk to an engineer' sales plus a distributor network serving 3 continents.
