Miniature Low-Power Autonomous Navigation

High accuracy inertial navigation system for GPS-denied applications
Consists of custom inertial measurement unit
Navigation processor with proprietary extended Kalman filter
Provides accuracy of 1 part in 10,000
Inertial measurement fits in very small form factor (less than two inches in diameter)
Can be made to survive very harsh environments such as those found in the oil and gas industry

Features
Accepts initial alignment from GPS
Measures both position velocity and orientation in real time
Is resistant to vibration and temperature effects
Applications
Shape measurement of towed acoustic arrays
Precision placement of urban transmission cables and pipelines
Advanced robotics for sensing of body and limb position
Advanced surgical techniques
Guidance for steerable drilling systems
3-D computer input
Spatial registration of sensor data
Oil and gas exploration
Land-based autonomous vehicle navigation
Telecom infrastructure installation
