Innovation Lab

The latest radar-based innovations and developments, inspired by key customer insights. Brought to life by our in-house product management and R&D teams.

These solutions are not yet launched to market, we continuously innovate and our Innovation Lab provides an overview of just some of the trials and POC (proof of concept) work we've worked on, commonly in conjunction with a lead customer.

Products born from innovation

Navtech’s strong emphasis on technical innovation and design means much of our product development has evolved out of client requests for bespoke product features.

The first step for developing each of our products is market insight. Customer feedback is vital to ensure our products continue to deliver the highest levels of safety and efficiency, where it is needed most. Traditional sensing technologies can have their limitations, particularly in adverse weather. Our patented 360° radar sensors work in all-weather and light conditions, placing them in the unique position to solve the most complex problems for our clients.

Want the opportunity to influence the development of our products?

We are on the lookout for early adopters looking to carry out proof of concept trials.

By integrating these innovative solutions into your systems, you are given the opportunity to influence the development of these new products for your application, before their formal launch.

We want to share our ethos of continuous improvement, which is built into Navtech Radar’s DNA. We aim to imagine and build systems to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and hope that by sharing our development we can bring others on that journey with us.
