iPRENA-M-H: DRU / MAPS Replacement (RLG based INS/GNSS Solution)

Replacement for MAPS / DRU with modern sensor technology

The iPRENA-M-H is a high accurate advanced RLG based INS, being designed to provide a replacement for elder "modular azimuth and position systems" (MAPS) inertial navigation systems of type MAPS / DRU of several manufacturers. 

The iPRENA-M-H is based on iMAR's iNAT-RQH series, but provides the following interfaces of the MAPS / DRU:

  • enclosure
  • connectors
  • communication interface (dedicated commands)

Additionally, the iPRENA-M-H comes with additional interfaces like Ethernet and CAN and can include already a high performance GNSS receiver (up to RTK performance).

It consists of 3 high reliable airborne grade ring laser gyro axes and 3 servo accelerometer axes, integrated GNSS Receiver (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU; SBAS), wheel sensor interface and an advanced 42+ state Kalman filter based INS/GNSS loosly or tightly coupled data fusion.

Features
