Leading Sub-Decimeter INS/GNSS based Localization & Timing & Communication Systems

iMAR Navigation GmbH, a German company, is a well-known specialist and innovator in leading inertial systems and solutions for more than 30 years. With our extensive long-time experience in production, development, maintenance and support of inertial systems for positioning, navigation, surveying, guidance, stabilization, control and communication (PNT/PNTC) we provide leading systems and solutions destined to a wide range of applications, for unmanned and manned platforms, in industrial, automotive, aerospace, geodetic and defence environment, from stock or as customized solution.

iMAR is manufacturing according to military, industrial and aerospace quality standards. Our facilities are certified according to ISO 9001 / EN 9100 and EASA Part21G. Our extensive in-house calibration and test lab covers full product qualification including motion, temperature, vibration & shock and EMI/EMC according to military and industrial standards.

Each iNAT system contains the inertial sensors, the GNSS engine, the external interfaces, the most precise timing reference, the powerful FPGA for synchronization purposes, the power conditioning, the EMI/EMC filtering and the extended sensor data fusion, which is implemented on an integrated powerful multi-core microprocessor in a real-time environment.
The open interfaces to external aiding sensors like external GNSS, airdata, DVL, LiDAR, magnetometer etc. allow the integration of the iNAT systems into nearly all applications.

The output of the iNAT system provides all processed result data in real-time as well as sensor and timing raw data. The iNAT systems can be integrated via the published iXCOM protocol directly by the applicant. With iXCOM-CMD, also a mighty HMI software is available for system configuration, operation (incl. map visualization) and data download. It also contains a useful wizard for installation support and also play-back capabilities, e.g. for the purpose of data analyzis.

With iPosCAL a software is available for powerful INS/GNSS/ODO + X  sensor data fusion post-processing.

The linked pdf gives a general overview over the offered range of INS/GNSS solutions based on iMAR's unique iNAT architecture.

Note:

In compliance with our proven design philosophy and our technical code of conduct for development, production, and quality assurance of our products and solutions, only physics determines the behavior of iMAR’s measurement systems. The real-time output of our systems and solutions in the inertial signal path is achieved through the intelligent signal processing developed by our experienced engineers – not by artificial intelligence (AI).

Why?

We cannot recommend that integrators or users entrust the success of critical or general missions in inertial navigation, stabilization or control to the heuristic decisions of AI.

Rely on the high reliability, accuracy, and availability of iMAR solutions, as well as on the leading INS/GNSS/+ expertise and experience of our engineering team in Germany. This is based on our mathematically and physically precise algorithms, traceable results, our sensor, hardware, and algorithm design, and our production facilities, which are certified to military and aviation standards.

Note: We apply AI methods in signal processing where they provide benefits for the application (e.g., for improving image or scenario analysis). However, our highest priority is mission safety – even in so-called corner cases of applications, where AI is typically not sufficiently trained.
