SBG Systems, a leading provider of high-performance inertial navigation systems, has released a firmware upgrade for its Ellipse series sensors.
The update integrates the most recent World Magnetic Model (WMM), ensuring enhanced accuracy and reliability in navigation applications. The upgrade is available for all Ellipse sensors, including first-generation models, reinforcing SBG Systems’ commitment to continuous improvement in unmanned system navigation.
The Ellipse series features compact, high-precision inertial sensors ideal for applications in unmanned systems, including UAVs, UGVs, and marine platforms. Equipped with built-in three-axis magnetometers, the sensors measure Earth’s magnetic field to support accurate heading and positioning data.
Firmware Key Features:
- Integration of the latest World Magnetic Model (WMM) for enhanced accuracy
- Compatibility with first-generation Ellipse sensors
- Improved magnetometer correction for reliable navigation
- Free firmware upgrade available to all users
The World Magnetic Model (WMM) is a globally recognized mathematical representation of the Earth’s magnetic field, updated every five years to account for geomagnetic changes. The latest WMM update, released in December 2024, ensures precise heading and positioning corrections.
By integrating this model into Ellipse sensors, SBG Systems enhances the reliability of magnetometer readings, improving navigation accuracy across various operational environments.
