KebNi

ACE Antenna, a part of South Korean Ace Technologies, has signed a supplier agreement with Kebni for provision of the SensAItion INS (Inertial Navigation System). Following successful testing of a yet-to-be-disclosed Electrical Steerable Array (ESA) Antenna System for a next generation Satcom Terminal, Kebni is the series volume INS-supplier.

The supplier agreement was won in competition with leading INS providers and its estimated value is approximately 50 MSEK per year, with a total value of around 300 MSEK.

Network Solutions, Automotive and Defense company ACE Antenna is contracted to develop an ESA Antenna System, designed to enhance the capabilities of deployed soldiers. The Kebni SensAItion INS will be deeply integrated and provide automated guidance of position, heading and navigation.

“This agreement is an exciting confirmation of our new off-the-shelf platform SensAItion’s competitiveness. A distinctive success factor that sets us apart in the market is close collaboration with the client, including our active support to the integration team. As we’ve seen with past successes, thorough testing and verification is typical, hence this milestone showcases the exciting future ahead.” says Erik Winther, Head of Sales, Inertial Sensing.

The client system is scheduled for end-user testing in 2025, with final approval expected in 2026. Production is set to begin in 2027, pending government plans.
