High Performance low weight Ring Laser Gyro based INS of Class 0.001...0.01 °/h

The iNAT-RQT-400x is a family of light weight small-size high accurate advanced RLG based INS. It is available in three performance classes:

iNAT-RQT-4001: 0.0020 deg/sqrt(hr) / 0.004 deg/hr / 0.050 mg
iNAT-RQT-4002: 0.0025 deg/sqrt(hr) / 0.007 deg/hr / 0.075 mg
iNAT-RQT-4003: 0.0050 deg/sqrt(hr) / 0.010 deg/hr / 0.100 mg

They consist of 3 airborne grade ring laser gyro axes and 3 servo accelerometer axes, integrated all-requencies / all-constellations GNSS Receiver (GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU), wheel sensor interface and an advanced 42+ state Kalman filter based INS/GNSS loosly or tightly coupled data fusion.

The ring laser technology provides a well-proven and most mature long time accuracy regarding true north and navigation accuracy, also under strong environmental conditions (temperature gradients, vibration), where other gyro technologies are already significantly limited due to certain physical effects.

The iNAT series is used for navigation, guidance and control of vehicles, stabilization of platforms, surveying reference as ground truth etc. in the fields of industrial, automotive, surveying, research and space applications. Developped for rugged industrial applications according to MIL standards, it is used today also for many and major defence applications as well as for aviation use cases due to their exceptional robustness and reliability.

Internal GNSS engine, up to all frequencies / all constellations (GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, BEIDOU), RTK, WAAS / EGNOS etc.
designed to work also in GNSS denied environment, under spoofing and jamming conditions
Internally up to 128 GByte non-volatile memory for data storage and "black-box" capability
Power Supply: 10...36 V DC, < 25 W; overvoltage protected up to 60 V; 50 ms hold-up time according to DO160E.
Modular System architecture: customized applications can be integrated by iMAR easily (please contact our sales engineers). So the iNAT can provide arbitrary data and command protocols according to customer requirement, e.g. to substitute other navigation systems by iNAT (e.g. for Form-Fit-Function replacements); Python interface and C++ SDK available.
EMI-EMC protection and qualification according to DO160E / MIL-STD-704D / MIL-STD-461E / MIL-STD-810G
iNAT-RQT is not subject of ITAR control. iNAT-RQT requires only a standard dual-use export license; no detailed export control procedure is required within the EU, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, USA (only EU001 procedure required)
iNAT-RQT is also available as highly shock hardened version for special applications, e.g. on heavy trucks, mining, tunneling etc.: iNAT-M-II / -III / -III.

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.
