A position is only as good as its error bound
Magnetic navigation has already flown. The next step is an instrument that tells the vehicle, at every instant, how wrong its position can be.

The Instrument is public: fly a mission in your browser
Our mission demos are now open to everyone, in the browser, with no account needed.
ReadResearch
More than a hundred published experiments keep our simulation honest
Our simulation is checked against a register of more than a hundred published experimental results.
ReadMilestone
Our navigation simulation is online
Before our first prototype is assembled, our sensor design flies complete missions in simulation.
ReadInsight
Rejecting the vehicle's own field, on board
Magnetometers flying today are corrected by compensation models fitted to each vehicle. We design our sensor to reject the platform's own field on board as well.
ReadMilestone
Spectral Flow joins NVIDIA Inception
We are now a member of NVIDIA Inception, NVIDIA's programme for start-ups.
ReadInsight
Why navigation without GPS is our first application
Satellite navigation is increasingly jammed, spoofed and denied. A passive magnetic reference adds a layer that does not depend on satellites.

Designing a quantum sensor in software, first
Before a sensor reaches the cleanroom, it lives in our simulation.
