What happened
Montréal photonics startup OSCP has closed a $6 million USD Series A funding round. The company aims to disrupt the IMU market with a smaller and more accurate navigation alternative that operates without GPS.
Why it matters
Geopolitical risks and GPS jamming are driving renewed urgency for resilient, non-satellite navigation hardware. OSCP's photonics-based approach directly targets the inertial measurement unit market, offering a compact alternative for defense and autonomous systems operators.
What to watch
Commercial pilot progress and hardware integration benchmarks with autonomous platform OEMs.

Why this score: A modest $6M Series A with undisclosed investors limits the strength of the funding signal, despite strong sector tailwinds in deeptech and GPS-denied navigation.
