High-Precision GNSS/INS Navigation for Dynamic Platforms
The VectorNav High-Precision GNSS/INS (VN-210) delivers real-time position, velocity and attitude in one compact unit. It is built for systems that move, vibrate and change speed. In addition, the VN-210E gives you the same core navigation outputs in an embedded form factor that is perfect for tight designs.
Key Benefits of VectorNav High-Precision GNSS/INS (VN-210)
- Navigation outputs in one unit: Position, velocity and attitude for control and tracking.
- High-rate attitude output: Fast updates for stabilisation and closed-loop control.
- Two form factors: Rugged housed VN-210 or embedded VN-210E.
- Built for real motion: Designed for dynamic platforms and changing environments.
- Integration-friendly: Works well in UAV, robotics, marine and industrial builds.

Where the VN-210 Fits in Your System
The VectorNav High-Precision GNSS/INS (VN-210) provides navigation data that supports stabilisation, guidance and tracking in real time. For example, it can:
- Provide attitude data for UAV flight control and payload stability.
- Support robotics navigation by combining motion sensing and GNSS aiding.
- Improve marine heading and motion data for sensor alignment and platform stability.
- Deliver reliable navigation data for industrial vehicles and moving machinery.
Quick Use-Case Table
| Use Case | Why the VN-210 Helps |
|---|---|
| UAV navigation + stabilisation | High-rate attitude output supports stable control in motion. |
| Robotics and autonomy | Position, velocity and attitude outputs support navigation and control. |
| Marine sensing and alignment | Attitude and motion data helps stabilise sensors and platforms. |
| Industrial vehicles and machinery | Rugged navigation data supports moving systems in the field. |
Why Choose This High-Precision GNSS/INS System?
Many systems need more than raw sensor data. They also need a stable navigation output they can use right away. The VN-210 helps by delivering a continuous attitude solution and GNSS-aided navigation outputs for dynamic platforms.
Furthermore, when you source the VN-210 from Metromatics, you also gain access to local technical support and real-world integration experience. Our team works closely with engineers across industrial, robotics and autonomous systems, helping ensure the VN-210 is configured, integrated and supported correctly for your application from the outset.
