HIGHLIGHTS
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
VectorNav Technologies introduces the VN-300, the worlds
smallest and lightest high-performance Dual Antenna GPS-Aided
Inertial Navigation System (GPS/INS). Building on the architecture
of the currently available VN-100 line of IMU/AHRS as well as the
VN-200 line of GPS/INS, the VN-300 enables a wider range of
applications through the incorporation of GPS-compass techniques.
The VN-300 is ideal for applications that require a highly accurate
inertial navigation solution under both static and dynamic
operating conditions, especially in environments with unreliable
magnetic heading and good GNSS visibility.
Incorporating the latest solid-state MEMS sensor technology, the
VN-300 combines 3-axis accelerometers, gyros, magnetometers, a
barometric pressure sensor, two GNSS receivers, and a low-power
micro-processor into a rugged aluminum enclosure or surface mount
package. The VN-300 couples measurements from the onboard GNSS
receivers with measurements from the onboard inertial sensors to
provide position, velocity, and attitude estimates of higher
accuracies and with better dynamic performance than a standalone
GPS or GNSS receiver or AHRS.
