iATTHEMO/TLx / iATTHEMO-M: Economic True Heading, Attitude, Position, Velocity Sensor for Ride Control and Stabilization for Fast Ferries and Naval Vessels
INS/GNSS Motion Sensor with Dual-Antenna True North Heading for Marine and Naval Vessel Stabilization and Ride Control
iATTHEMO/TLx, also called Motion Reference Unit (MRU), is a powerful miniaturized dual-antenna GNSS compass systems with an integrated MEMS based inertial measurement system to provide true heading as well as attitude, velocity, position, angular rates and acceleration with low noise. It is made for applications which require reliable performance in a robust package and easy usage. The system comes with fully EMI/EMC protected power-supply input and data output interfaces. The internal extended Kalman filter based data fusion is able also to provide a full INS/GNSS navigation solution with integrated incremental counter interface as propellor counter or UART / CAN / Ethernet (TCP/IP, UDP) as DVL / Log interface.
Mombers of the system family iATTHEMO/TLx are also known under the trademark iATTHEMO-M for specific marine applicatons.
in the name iATTHEMO/TLx the x stands for a family of inertial MEMS based sensors, ranging from economic performance to high performance.
iATTHEMO/TLx comes with full iXCOM protocol communication support as well as NMEA 0183 output and is supported by iMAR's iXCOM-CMD GUI for configuration, visualization and operation. Furthermore a SDK is available for a seamless integration process at customer site.

iATTHEMO-M - replaced by iATTHEMO/TLE with even better performance - With the same data interface this system is compatible to iATTHEMO-TRIDENT (gyro compassing system) and all systems of iNAT family (from low-end economic to highest performance, i.e. from micro-MEMS over fiber optical gyro up to ring laser gyro and hemisperical resonator gyro technology based systems)
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.
