Software-Defined Inertial Navigation Systems (MEMS & FOG), and Acoustic Positioning Solutions

High-performance FOG INS solutions

Spatial FOG Dual GPS-Aided INS/AHRS

Rugged FOG INS with dual antenna heading

The Spatial FOG Dual is a dual-antenna moving baseline RTK variant of the Spatial FOG GPS-aided INS/AHRS. It provides highly accurate heading output while both stationary and moving. The triple frequency Trimble RTK GNSS receiver provides up to 8mm accuracy positioning and supports all of the current and future satellite navigation systems, as well as the Omnistar service for even higher accuracy positioning.

Key Features:

• Dual Antenna Heading
• L1/L2 RTK/PPK
• Hot Start Time : 2 seconds
• Low size, Weight and Power

Boreas D90 Digital FOG INS

Strategic-grade INS with low SWaP-C

The Boreas D90 is an ultra-high accuracy, strategic-grade INS, offering a 40% reduction in size, weight, power, and cost relative to competing systems. Boreas D90 is the first product to be released that is based on Advanced Navigation’s new DFOG (Digital Fiber Optic Gyroscope) technology, which is the culmination of 25 years of development involving two research institutions.

The Boreas D90 is targeted at applications requiring always available, ultra-high accuracy, orientation, and navigation including marine, surveying, subsea, aerospace, robotics, and space.

Key Features:

• Dual Antenna Heading
• GPS L1, L2, GLONASS L1, L2, GALILEO E1, E5b, BeiDou B1, B2, RTK/PPK
• Hot Start Time : 2 seconds
• Low size, Weight and Power

Acoustic Underwater Navigation

Subsonus Underwater Acoustic Positioning System

High accuracy, miniature USBL for AUVs, ROVs

Subsonus is a next-generation USBL underwater acoustic positioning system combining an industry-leading eight channel factory calibrated hydrophone array with an internal tightly coupled INS. Capable of operating at depths of up to 1000 metres, it fuses acoustic position and doppler velocity with factory calibrated inertial sensors and a depth sensor, providing highly accurate position, velocity and heading outputs.

Subsonus is ideal for station keeping, control and subsea surveying applications for both AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles) and ROVs (remotely operated vehicles).

Key Features:

• Sound Velocity Sensor
• Very Low Size, Weight and Power
• Multipath Rejection
• Acoustic Modem
• Integrated INS
• Speed of Sound Sensor

Subsonus Tag Acoustic Positioning Transponder

Low cost sensor for sub-sea remote sensing and tracking

Subsonus Tag is a low cost acoustic positioning transponder designed for use with our Subsonus USBL. The hermetically sealed unit features an integrated battery, wireless charging and a low-power pressure tolerant e-paper display. Up to 65,000 Tags can be tracked by one surface Subsonus unit, and each tag can operate at a range of up to 1000 metres and at a depth of up to 2000 metres for up to 18 months on one charge.

Subsonus Tag is ideal for remote sensing of position, orientation, heading and temperature, as well as tracking of underwater unmanned vehicles such as AUVs and ROVs.

Key Features:

• 18 Months Battery Life
• Very low size, Weight and Power
• No Maintenance
• Cost Effective
• Integrated Display

Post Processing Software

Kinematica Post Processing Software

Web-based GNSS/INS post processing software

Kinematica is web-based GNSS/INS post-processing software for raw GNSS and inertial data from any of our GNSS/INS products.

Kinematic GNSS post-processing provides an up to 200 times increase in position accuracy over standard real-time GNSS. The Kinematica software automatically downloads the closest RINEX base station data and outputs position to an accuracy of 8mm.

Kinematica utilises forward and backwards looking in time to fill satellite outages and compensate for errors that would normally affect a real-time solution. It also supports both loosely and tightly coupled GNSS/INS processing, automatically switching between them to provide the best accuracy results under the conditions at that point in time.

Ideal for post processing data acquired from surveying, LiDAR and aerial photography applications.

Micro-AUV

Hydrus Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Micro-AUV for underwater surveying & inspection

Hydrus is a compact AUV designed to capture high-resolution images and video with precise geo-referenced data, and to simplify underwater surveying and inspection missions.

The all-in-one autonomous robotic vehicle includes a 4K 60 FPS camera coupled with powerful lighting, as well as tightly coupled USBL, DVL, INS, and acoustic and optical modems.

The innovative design includes hubless thrusters that prevent impellers from getting jammed with ropes or seaweed, and is designed to be highly reliable and low maintenance.

Hydrus also features an AI-powered image processing system that dynamically balances camera settings and lighting, and compensates for turbidity even in the most challenging of environments.
