iNAT-U200/RLD Ultra Light Weight INS for Navigation, Surveying & Control (500 Hz)

Ultra Low Weight & Small Size Economic Cost MEMS Based INS/GNSS Systems

iNAT-U200 is a family of ultra light weight small-size best performance MEMS based IMS of class 2.5 deg/hr / 0.1 mg (AllanVariance bias stability), consisting of 3 robust MEMS gyro axes and 3 MEMS accelerometer axes, integrated multi-frequencies/multi-constellations GNSS Receiver (simultanuously GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU; L1 & L2 & Ex RTK), wheel sensor interface and an advanced 42+ state Kalman filter based INS/GNSS data fusion, which allows also the aiding by odometer.

iNAT-U200 provides the best SWAP and SWAP-C of its class (size, weight, performance, cost), available as OEM version (unhoused, ~50 grams) or as housed version, designed to meet military standards.  It is suitable for nearly all applications, also for UAV and UGV.

The architecture of the iNAT systems allows also the aiding with any external position / velocity / time stamp / standard deviation data, e.g. obtained from machine vision, DVL or any aplication based aiding sensors.

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, airborne, marine, railway surveying, train control, agriculture, surveying, defense and space applications.

Due to its ultra-robust design, iNAT-U200 is even used for extreme applications.

The iNAT-U200 is available in 4 different versions:

  1. iNAT-U200/RLD-OEM-DA: unhoused OEM version for system integrators, which like to integrate the system directly into their electronics or sensor compartment. This version has only 50 grams weight and includes a full strapdown INS/GNSS/ODO/XX navigator with RTK capable multi-frequency / multi-constellation GNSS and dual-antenna heading capability.
  2. iNAT-U200/RLD-M-DA: same capabilities as the unit described under a), but with a sturdy IP67 resistant enclosure and connectors compatible to the series iNAT-M300. The system is EMI/EMC protected and has an integrated overvoltage protection.
  3. iNAT-U200/RLD-CB-DA: same capabilities as the unit described under a), but with a sturdy enclosure and connectors fully compatible to the series iVRU-CB-M. The system is EMI/EMC protected and has an integrated overvoltage protection.
  4. iNAT-U200/RLE-SP1-MS-DA: version with small size, low weight, short length IP67 resistant sturdy enclosure, also for demanding environments. It includes the inertial MEMS sensors with standard gyro noise, a multi-frequency / multi constellation GNSS receiver, a full strapdown INS/GNSS/ODO/XX navigator with RTK and single  as well as dual-antenna capability.
  5. iNAT-U200/RLE-LN1-MS-DA: same as d), but with low noise gyroscopes.
  6. iNAT-U200/RLE-ULN1-MS-DA: same as d), but with ultra low noise gyroscopes.
  7. Customized versions: We can deliver the system inside of any enclosure the customer requests. Ask our technical sales for further information!

Note:

Following our proven design philosophy and technical code of conduct for our products and solutions, only the physics determines the behavior of iMAR‘s measurement systems. Our real-time output of our systems and solutions is achieved through the intelligent signal processing invented by our experienced engineers, not by AI (artificial intelligence).
Experienced customers do not entrust the success of critical or general missions to the heuristic decisions of any AI, but rather experience the highest reliability, accuracy and availability of iMAR solutions in their daily use, based on our mathematically and physically precise and traceable results.
