Does INS accept inputs from external aiding sensors?
Inertial Navigation Systems from our company accept inputs from external aiding sensors, such as air data sensors, magnetometers, Odometers, DVL and other.
This integration makes the INS highly versatile and reliable, especially in GNSS-denied environments.
These external sensors enhance the overall performance and accuracy of the INS by providing complementary data.
What is the difference between IMU and INS?
The difference between an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) lies in their functionality and complexity.
An IMU (inertial measuring unit) provides raw data on the vehicle’s linear acceleration and angular velocity, measured by accelerometers and gyroscopes. It supplies information on roll, pitch, yaw, and motion, but does not compute position or navigation data. The IMU is specifically designed to relay essential data about movement and orientation for external processing to determine position or velocity.
On the other hand, an INS (inertial navigation system) combines IMU data with advanced algorithms to calculate a vehicle’s position, velocity, and orientation over time. It incorporates navigation algorithms like Kalman filtering for sensor fusion and integration. An INS supplies real-time navigation data, including position, velocity, and orientation, without relying on external positioning systems like GNSS.
This navigation system is typically utilized in applications that require comprehensive navigation solutions, particularly in GNSS-denied environments, such as military UAVs, ships, and submarines.
what is the physical differences between Navsight Land-Air and Navsight Marine ?
The Navsight Land/Air and Navsight Marine systems from SBG Systems are physically designed to meet the specific demands of their respective environments. The Navsight Land/Air features a compact, lightweight aluminum enclosure ideal for integration on UAVs and land vehicles, where size and weight are critical. It includes industrial or aviation-style connectors and is built to withstand rugged conditions, though it is not fully waterproof. This version is designed for environments where airflow helps with cooling and where exposure to water is limited.
In contrast, the Navsight Marine is engineered for operation in harsh marine environments. It features a robust, fully sealed IP68-rated enclosure made from corrosion-resistant materials, making it suitable for long-term exposure to water, salt, and humidity. The system is equipped with waterproof marine-grade connectors and is designed for secure installation on vessels, with enhanced vibration damping and passive cooling that does not rely on airflow. These physical differences ensure that each version of Navsight performs reliably and efficiently in its intended application domain.
