OSCP Secures Series A Funding to Scale ITAR-Free Photonic Navigation

The capital injection will support the expansion of engineering and sales operations while scaling the manufacturing of the company’s ITAR-free photonic inertial measurement units (IMUs). Somu Subramaniam, managing partner at New Science Ventures, has joined the board of directors, signaling a strategic focus on integrating these sensors across defense and transportation platforms.

Since closing the round in August, OSCP has accelerated its product roadmap, launching the NavigationGate system and adding open-source support for its MK2 IMU family. The company, which qualifies as a supplier for Canada's Defence Drone Initiative Marketplace, aims to provide tactical-grade accuracy that remains functional when satellite signals are degraded or unavailable.
