Rugged Inertial Navigation System (INS)

The MicroStrain 3DM-GV7-INS is a ruggedised IP68 tactical grade inertial navigation system. It features an advanced Extended Kalman Filter, orientation algorithms, time management, and an event triggering system. Making it perfect for agriculture, mobile robotics, and mobile mapping.

The 3DM-GV7-INS is a Rugged Inertial Navigation System (INS).  Firstly, the sensor is tactical grade with a 1.5°/hr bias instability.  Therefore, is fully calibrated across the temperature range.

In addition, it includes an integrated magnetometer for heading tracking and supports external position and velocity inputs. The device is compact with an anodised aluminium enclosure.  Therefore, allows it to operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to +85°C.

 

 Key features of the Rugged Inertial Navigation System (INS) include:

 

External Clock Synchronisation: Tighter synchronisation with external sensors like LiDAR or cameras to improve state estimation.

Tactical Grade Gyro: Improved position accuracy during dead reckoning

Custom Event Trigger System: Simplifies configuration of context-based events and frees up CPU on vehicle main board

Full Temperature Calibration: Consistent and reliable performance over entire temperature range.

Adjustable Sampling Rates: Faster response to vehicle dynamics.

Low Latency: Reduced navigation errors from clock drift when combining with external aiding sensors.

User Adjustable Gyro & Accel Range: Range flexibility enables improved noise performance.

External Position, Velocity & Heading Inputs: Improves position, velocity, attitude (PVA) estimates of standalone GNSS receiver.

Industry Standard NMEA Input over AUX Port: Simplifies GNSS input by providing configurable AUX port on any of the 4 GPIO ports.

Defence Ready accepts encrypted GNSS receivers (SAASM or MCode): Improves reliability of position, navigation and timing (PNT) solution during jamming and spoofing events.

Filter Body Frame Constraints: Improves position accuracy for known dynamics.

Vehicle Frame Velocity I/O: Allows user to input measurements in a non global frame, enabling sensors, like radar and vision as aiding sources (with pre processing).
