Advanced Navigation, a provider of cutting-edge navigation and autonomous systems for military applications, has appointed Maximilian Doemling as Head of Product Management.
This decision reflects the company’s focus on advancing deep tech innovation across robotics, inertial, photonic and quantum sensing, artificial intelligence, underwater acoustics, and GPS antennas and receivers.
Advanced Navigation’s suite of technologies and sensors deliver resilient positioning and navigation where GPS is contested or unavailable – spanning land, air, sea, and space. As Head of Product Management, Maximilian will lead the strategy and execution of product development, from launch and lifecycle management to maintenance.
Collaborating closely with research, development, and go-to-market teams, Maximilian will align industry and customer needs across key verticals, including defense, aerospace, mining, agriculture, transportation, marine and space.
Growing Sensor Fusion Market
The integration of advanced sensor technologies – such as inertial, photonic, neuromorphic, LiDAR, laser velocity, and vision – enable autonomous systems to navigate complex and dynamic environments with confidence, even in the absence of GPS.
This seamless fusion of data enhances reliability through redundancy, improves safety by cross-validating inputs, and ensures adaptability to challenging conditions such as low visibility, adverse weather, or underwater terrain. Propelled by the increasing functionality of autonomous systems, the sensor fusion market size is projected grow exponentially by 2033.
As a recognized expert in this field, Maximilian will be instrumental in driving the next wave of innovation for the company, transforming autonomy from concept to reality.
Technical Expertise
Maximilian brings over 15 years of global experience leading complex technical projects across defense, space, and automotive sectors in East Asia and Germany.
Maximilian’s strong track record in shaping product roadmaps, aligning systems design with company strategies, and leading large, agile international teams will be key to driving Advanced Navigation’s product innovations to market.
Advanced Navigation CEO, Chris Shaw, commented, “Max’s arrival comes at a pivotal time for Advanced Navigation. His strategic direction and extensive experience in shaping product ecosystems is the exact skillset required to expand our portfolio and meet the demands of the growing autonomous systems market. We’re excited to have him on board as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in navigation and robotics.”
Speaking of the role, Maximilian Doemling stated, “Inertial and photonic sensors are foundational technologies for autonomous systems. Developing deep technology demands relentless innovation at the cutting edge, where breakthroughs must outpace complexity to stay ahead of the curve.
As autonomy evolves, the demand for precision, resilience, and intelligence in navigation systems is only accelerating. The future belongs to those who can push the limits of what’s possible—and we’re just getting started.”
