Description

Its high accuracy inertial measurement unit is coupled with an embedded digital signal processor that runs an advanced Kalman filter.
PHINS DVL Ready is pre-assembled and pre-calibrated with a Doppler Velocity Log version making the system easy to install and ready to use for more precise navigation.

Key features

  • Accurate and georeferenced position + attitude at high frequency
  • All-in-one 3D positioning with heading, roll and pitch
  • DVL Ready option available
  • Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG), unique strap-down technology
  • Flexible & scalable configuration for all deployment scenarios
  • Immediate availability and performance for all vehicles
  • Multiple aiding options (DVL, USBL, LBL, RAMSES, GPS, depth sensor)
  • No spinning element hence maintenance free
  • RAMSES option available (tight coupled acoustic aiding)
  • Ultimate sub-metric performance using sparse array transponders and on-the-fly calibration
