NAVION® is a Dewesoft inertial navigation system platform for accurate position, orientation, velocity, and acceleration measurements. Measurements are estimated by a Kalman-based algorithm that combines GNSS positioning with the measurements provided by a MEMS-based inertial measurement unit.
NAVION® is the world's high-performance inertial navigation system of size and weight. It is bundled with a dual antenna for heading and RTK correction configuration which improves positioning accuracy down to 1 cm. Award-winning DewesoftX software included.
NAVION® i2 A high-end inertial navigation system
NAVION® i2 is a great inertial navigation system for an affordable price. It is small, accurate, reliable, and rugged. This small device is all you need for accurate positioning measurements. It is bundled with dual-antennas and RTK support and works with various satellite constellations such as BeiDou B1, B2, and Galileo E1.
NAVION® i2 functionality and features
NAVION® i2 inertial navigation system measures the vehicle’s GNSS position, accelerations, and angular velocities. A Kalman-based algorithm combines GNSS and IMU measurements and provides high accuracy and stability. The built-in IMU sensor has very low drift and helps to maintain position determination even in case of incorrect measurements due to multipath or when the GNSS signal is weak. A GNSS outage of 10s will only cause up to 30cm error.
Measured parameters
NAVION® i2 inertial navigation system provides several output channels:
Latitude, longitude, and altitude.
Orientation (roll, pitch, and heading).
Velocities and angular velocities.
Body accelerations.
Slip angles.
Great connectivity thanks to a connection box
NAVION® i2 inertial navigation system includes a break-out box that includes connection interfaces to PC running DewesoftX data acquisition software or to 3rd-party systems. The break-out box has standard connectors for:
Power supply
Ethernet output
CAN output
RS232 output for RTK and NMEA messages
Synchronization port
IP68 protection in a rugged chassis
The NAVION® i2 inertial navigation system is built-in a sealed compact and robust chassis. NAVION® chassis is certified with IP68 environment protection and is prone to outside elements such as wind, water, mud, and dust. It can be used in practically any weather condition.
1cm accuracy with RTK (Real-time Kinematics)
NAVION® i2 inertial navigation system is compatible with RTK (Real-time Kinematics) correction technology. RTK upgrade improves navigation accuracy down to 1 cm. It supports CMR+, RTCM 2.3, and RTCM 3.x GNSS corrections data.
Applications Navigation for Any Industry
Navion devices provide accurate position, velocity, acceleration, and orientation under the most demanding conditions. Devices are designed to meet the needs of navigational applications across various industries such as automotive, aerospace, railway, marine, agriculture, transportation, industrial equipment, and robotics.
Synchronization With Analog, Digital, and Other Data Sources
Synchronization is the most important aspect of every test and measurement application. Without the right correlation of data, it's impossible to get correct or meaningful results.
DS-IMU1 Compact Inertial Navigation System
If you need a very small and compact inertial navigation system, then we offer DS-IMU1. It still offers great accuracy in a very small form factor. The DS-IMU chassis is only 3 x 4 x 4.5 cm (1.18 x 1.57 x 1.73 inch).
DS-IMU1 still provides a reliable GNSS-aided inertial navigation including AHRS that provides accurate position, velocity, acceleration, and orientation. It offers up to 100 Hz data rate with USB and RS232 data interface. It features PPS output for synchronization using GPS PPS signal.
DS-IMU1 inertial navigation system is a device in a ruggedized chassis with an IP67 degree of environmental protection and MIL-STD-810G rating.
