Honeywell Aerospace Technologies has introduced the HGuide o480, a high-performance, single-card inertial navigation system (INS) that is ideal for the requirements of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and autonomous systems.
Delivering precise and resilient localization and attitude data in an ultra-low-SWaP (size, weight and power) form factor, it can be integrated directly into the electronics stack of a range of different platforms and designs.
The HGuide o480 reduces system size and integration complexity, enabling faster deployment and improved performance for unmanned and autonomous systems across air, land and sea. The system is fully compatible with multiple velocity aiding sensors, including the Honeywell Radar Velocity Sensor, and provides GPS-denied localization performance that is typically unavailable in similar systems.
Additionally, security is built into the fabric of the HGuide o480. Designed to perform in contested and GPS-challenged environments, the system features anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities via Septentrio’s AIM+ technology included with the Mosaic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver.
The HGuide o480 is offered with both the triple-frequency Mosaic X5 in a single-antenna configuration and with the dual-frequency, dual-antenna Mosaic H for when GNSS attitude aiding is required. In both cases, the Mosaic delivers best-in-class real-time kinematic (RTK) GNSS performance.
Matt Picchetti, vice president of Navigation and Sensors at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, commented: “The HGuide o480 is an engineering marvel and a technological breakthrough. For the size, there are no competing products in the industry today that can achieve the same high-performance at the price point, in addition to having the ability to be augmented by the wide array of Honeywell alternative navigation capabilities to form a truly remarkable resilient navigation solution.”
