Dead Reckoning is the way to make (D)GPS more accurate and reliable when tracking or steering vehicles or when surveying their trajectories, e.g. in defense applications. iSULONA is a hybrid INS/GPS system, complemented by vehicle motion sensor input. It provides reliable information of position and heading also during GNSS outages.
Features
- Used to provide orientation & position of support, supply and logistics vehicles
- Robust, compact, light
- MEMS gyro technology
- Data output rate up to 500 Hz (each data log separately adjustable)
- Interfaces: UART RS232 & RS422 / CAN / Ethernet / USB for real-time data output and
RS232 for DGPS correction input; NMEA183 / iXCOM
- Integrated L1 or L1L2 GPS+GLONASS+Beidou + SBAS + QZSS engine, interface to vehicle motion sensor for full dead reckoning support
- Powefull software iXCOM-CMD for operation and configuration (under MS Windows, Linux and MacOS) -- see iXCOM-CMD Software
- Measurement range (dynamics):
+/-250 deg/s, +/-8 g
- Inertial System and Sensor Performance:
Heading accuracy:
4 mil (GNSS aided, with dual-antenna heading at 2 m baseline [iSULONA-V-DA version])
9 mil (GNSS aided, under sufficient motion and GNSS observations, with single antenna GNSS)
Attitude accuracy:
5 mils (after sufficient GNSS aiding)
Position accuracy:
typ. < 2 m (rms) [GNSS aided, S/A off]
< 3 % of distance travelled during short GPS outages
Altitude accuracy:
typ. < 5 m (rms) [GNSS aided, S/A off]
< 4 % of distance travelled during short GPS outages
- Integrated 42+ state tightly or loosly coupled data fusion
- Internally up to 32 GByte non-volatile memory for data storage ("black-box")
- Connectors: MIL-C-38999 III type and TNC / M12
- Power Supply: 9...34 V DC, 8 W. iSULONA provides two independent and isolated inputs to allow the supply from two different power sources - the iSULONAS always takes the energy from those supply with the highest voltage. The inputs are protecxted against reverse voltage and over-voltage.
- Weight: approx. 800 grams
- EMI-EMC protection designed to MIL-STD-704F / MIL-STD-461G / MIL-STD-810G
- Modular System architecture: customized applications can be integrated by iMAR easily (please contact our sales for details). So the iSULONA-V can provide arbitrary data and command protocols according to customer requirement, e.g. to substitute other navigation systems by iSULONA-V (e.g. for Form-Fit-Function replacements)
- iSULONA-V is neither ITAR nor export controlled.
