Strapdown Inertial Navigation System
Nav-7

Nav-7

Navigation mode is activated automatically after alignment is finished. The system can function in autonomous inertial mode or in integrated inertial/GNSS mode (when GNSS data is available). If odometer data is available, autonomous inertial mode with correction from odometer is also possible.

Nav-7 is the newest navigation system in the line of ZG products. Nav-7 is inertial navigation system based on Micro fiber-optic (FOG) gyros and MEMS accelerometers. The system is capable of long term (1 h and more) navigation in autonomous inertial mode.

Advanced data processing algorithms enable unequaled for compact FOG-based systems accuracy characteristics.

The system features built in GNSS receiver, thus the system can function in INS/GNSS integrated mode, as well as in autonomous inertial mode after GNSS-aided alignment.

The system is compatible with external air data system sensor (ADS), thus ADS-aided autonomous inertial mode is available.


Advantages

  • long-time autonomous navigation (after GNSS-aided kinematic alignment)
  • full navigation solution (coordinates, motion parameters, attitude)
  • compact size, low weight
  • high output rate
  • full navigation solution during GNSS outages
  • no periodic maintenance required
