FIBERPRO has unveiled the FN 200C, a cutting-edge GPS-aided inertial navigation system (INS) that leverages tactical-grade fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) technology to provide what the company claims is a new standard of reliability and accuracy for a diverse range of applications, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous ground vehicles and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs).
The FN 200C is a comprehensive solution that combines multiple functions into a single, integrated platform. Featuring a 3-in-1 strapdown system comprising motion reference unit (MRU), attitude and heading reference system (AHRS), and INS capabilities, the FN 200C delivers precise positioning, velocity, and orientation data in both static and dynamic environments.
Key features and capabilities of the FN 200C include:
FOG-Based IMU: Equipped with fiber optic gyroscopes and MEMS accelerometers, the FN 200C’s inertial measurement unit (IMU) ensures accurate and reliable navigation data even in challenging conditions.
High-precision GNSS Receiver: The FN 200C utilities NovAtel OEM7, u-blox ZED-F9P, or Septentrio mosaic-H GNSS receivers to provide precise positioning information across multiple satellite constellations, including GOS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU, QZSS, and IRNSS.
Embedded Anti-Jamming and Spoofing Mitigation: With advanced anti-jamming and spoofing features, the FN 200C ensures reliable operation in environments where signal interference may be present.
Real-Time Operations: Supporting various correction methods such as SBAS, DGPS, RTK, and PPP, the FN 200C enables real-time navigation and positioning for a wide range of applications.
Extendable Sensor Fusion Algorithms: The FN 200C incorporates state-of-the-art Kalman Filter-based sensor fusion algorithms that can be extended and customized to meet the specific requirements of land, aerospace, and maritime applications.
Environmental Resilience: Built to withstand harsh operation conditions, the FN 200C is environmentally sealed (IP68) and undergoes full temperature calibrations according to MIL-STD-810 standards.
The FN 200C offers versatility and performance for a wide range of unmanned systems applications, including land-based surveying, aerial mapping, maritime navigation and more, delivering precise and reliable navigation data to meet the most demanding requirements. According to FIBERPRO, the system’s advanced technology, robust design, and comprehensive feature set ensure that it will revolutionize navigation and operation in today’s dynamic and challenging environments.
