MIDDLETOWN, RI - January 14, 2016 - KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI), has launched the GEO-FOG 3D inertial navigation system (INS). This new product presents roll, pitch, and heading accuracies of .05° for demanding purposes in unmanned, autonomous, and manned aerial, ground, marine, and subsurface platforms, comparable to subsea remotely operated autos (ROV) or mining programs.

The GEO-FOG 3D relies on the company’s high-efficiency fiber optic gyro (FOG) know-how combined with centimeter-degree precision RTK GNSS receivers and superior sensor fusion algorithms. The result's a solution that constantly offers quick, extremely-accurate place, velocity, and attitude measurements that keep applications working no matter how challenging the conditions. The core inertial sensor for the brand new system is KVH’s 1750 IMU, a proven inertial measurement unit incorporating three axes of KVH’s DSP-1750 FOG - the world’s smallest high-performance fiber optic gyro - with three axes of advanced accelerometer know-how. The 1750 IMU is then absolutely integrated with a GNSS receiver and a 3-axis magnetometer, a barometric pressure sensor, and a triple frequency RTK GNSS receiver to deliver dependable, real-time, centimeter-level positioning and orientation measurements. The system’s breakthrough sensor fusion algorithms routinely swap from loosely- to tightly-coupled filtering for improved performance beneath poor GNSS signal conditions. inertial navigation board provides excessive-velocity replace charges and speedy north-looking for gyrocompass capabilities for top-accuracy heading in environments when magnetometers and GNSS-aided heading cannot be used.

KVH has additionally launched a variant, the GEO-FOG 3D Dual, an INS and angle and heading reference system (AHRS). This product features two GNSS antennas on a set RTK baseline that gives the same reliability and efficiency levels because the GEO-FOG 3D, with elevated heading, pitch, and roll accuracy for static and dynamic applications where single antenna techniques can be problematic. The GEO-FOG 3D Dual is a superior selection for applications that require heading at system startup or in low dynamic circumstances. “KVH’s GEO-FOG 3D and GEO-FOG 3D Twin provide exceptional accuracy and excellent efficiency in a single, small package (<1.6 lbs.), at price points never previously achieved in the industry,” says Jay Napoli, KVH’s FOG/OEM vice president. “And, because KVH controls the entire design and production process, from creating its own optical fiber to packaging its FOGs together with other sensors for advanced applications, these new products - and all of our open-loop FOGs, IMUs, and INSs - offer outstanding accuracy and excellent durability at a lower cost than competing systems.”

Reliable, excessive-accuracy navigation and control are important to unmanned, autonomous, and manned platforms that must function in conditions that include magnetic interference and the absence of reliable satellite navigation knowledge. The built-in FOG, GNSS, and sensor fusion technologies permit the GEO-FOG 3D and GEO-FOG 3D Twin to realize performance ranges which are past typical INS- or MEMS-based options. Both the GEO-FOG 3D and GEO-FOG 3D Twin are designed to help current and future satellite navigation techniques together with GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BeiDou. Each techniques provide knowledge charges as much as 1000 Hz, and the flexibility to output information over a excessive-pace RS-422 interface or RS-232 interface, which ensures the techniques might be simply and readily built-in in a variety of platforms.
