Aldebaran FOG Inertial Navigation System

Navigation system built around closed loop Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes and high-performance MEMS accelerometers for high vibration environments. The system has integrated multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver and delivers superior performance during extended periods of GNSS outage.

Aldebaran combines top-of-the range tactical sensors – closed loop 0.1˚/hr. (BI) fiber-optic gyros and <1mg (long term bias) accelerometers to deliver dependable GNSS denied performance in rough, offroad and bumpy terrain.

 

The gyros hold their bias under vibrations and Aeron’s proprietary sensor fusion algorithms delivers superior navigation and position performance. Aldebaran INS has an integrated L1/L2/L5 GNSS receivers supporting multiple constellations that include GPS, GALILEO and NAVIC.

Product Features

MIL Qualified INS-GNSS System where you need tactical performance in high vibration environments.

Excellent IMU performance under vibrations with closed loop fiber-optic gyroscopes and high-performance accelerometers with 1 mg long term bias repeatability.

Suitable for land navigation in GNSS compromised scenarios delivering <0.3% distance travelled drift even in long term GNSS outages.

Accepts ground speed aiding over CAN and on pulse odometer and accepts external position, speed and heading alignment inputs.

Protecting the device electronics from electromagnetic interferences and transients on power and data lines.

Wide array of isolated interfaces and protocols are available on Aldebaran including Binary and NMEA over Serial RS422 and RS232.

Complete and Continuous Built in Test (CBIT) to monitor and inform user about the system health parameters that include sensor health.

Aldebaran INS accepts external position, speed, heading aiding input from master or external reference system.

Aeron’s proprietary EKF based sensor fusion engine provide exceptional performance in GNSS denied conditions.
