Integrated Systems
All our inertial navigation and integrated systems incorporate miniature inertial measurement units or sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers), which are based on MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology, as well as high sensitivity satellite navigation system receiver (compatible with GPS, GLONASS, or GPS/GLONASS).
The core element of our systems is proprietary analytic algorithm, which allows several levels of integration of GPS data with inertial sensors measurements and, optionally, with air data to achieve the required performance characteristics. Algorithm’s task-oriented design provides for the best quality-to-price and performance-to-size ratios in the selected applications. Moreover it ensures that our systems have unique characteristics when compared to other integrated navigation systems, which are present on the marketplace.
Key characteristics
Functional
Our inertial navigation systems can determine full set of parameters needed for navigation, positioning and motion control of a person, object or vehicle, including:
- navigational parameters: position and altitude;
- attitude parameters: heading, roll, pitch;
- motion parameters: speed, acceleration, angular rates.
End-User
- Compact size;
- Less than 0,3 kg weight (0,6 kg in ruggedized housing);
- Low power consumption;
- Standard digital data interface;
Manufacturing
All system components, including MEMS sensors, microprocessor chips and other electronic parts, are “commercial off-the-shelf” (COTS) type (currently the preferred supplier is Analog Devices). We use proven assembly techniques and quality control methods common for electronic systems manufacturing. Product facilities are ISO9001 approved and utilize Philips equipment.
Customization
Our baseline inertial navigation systems are fully operational and sufficient for most of the known applications. However if needed their characteristics can be changed either through software or/and by installing sensors of different grade. The system is designed in such a way, that by replacing standard sensors (completely or partially) with a higher grade ones, it is possible to improve its characteristics or even expand its functionality or capability without changing the rest of the system configuration. Therefore our product lines can be extended in the future at minimal development cost.
Operational
Our systems are fully autonomous and independent from other monitoring or control systems installed in a vehicle. They can also use autonomous power supply. Therefore integration into a vehicle does not require modification of the existing on-board systems.
Applications
Thanks to combination of functional and end-user characteristics, our systems can bring recognizable value in many areas includ:
- traditional applications, which are currently based on high cost inertial navigation systems (ex., flight vehicle navigation, attitude and control systems) - by opening new markets for inertial navigation means;
- traditional systems (GPS navigation, car navigation) - by enhancing their characteristics;
- new applications (industrial automation and instruments) - by enabling new ways of doing things.
