MicroStrain by HBK has launched the 3DM-CV7-INS, a tactical-grade embeddable inertial navigation system (INS) – a solution that balances power and flexibility.
In the world of inertial navigation, flexibility is paramount. No two systems operate the same: a drone may focus primarily on stability, while an autonomous robot may need precision localization capabilities. With the 3DM-CV7-INS, flexibility does not come at the expense of performance.
The 3DM-CV7-INS allows for optimum performance in every application, as it’s able to accept many external aiding measurements into a tactical-grade INS, with the full functionality of a GNSS/INS in an 8-gram package.
Key features include:
- Flexible, Adaptive Full Navigation EKF designed for demanding navigation applications
- 4 independent, configurable external aiding frames for simplified external aiding sensor input
- Multiple external aiding measurements for improved GNSS-denied event performance
- High-rate GNSS input for improved low speed position accuracy
- Tactical grade IMU (1.5°/hr gyro bias instability)
- Fully calibrated over entire Industrial temperature range
- Compact and low-profile package weighing only 8.3 grams
The ability of the INS to accept both NMEA and MIP aiding inputs gives control and flexibility back to the user: MIP-aiding enhances accuracy and reduces drift, making it the ideal choice for applications where precision is paramount, with NMEA-aiding offering a quick, full PVA solution for those looking to expedite development and improve speed to market.
