MicroStrain by HBK has introduced the 3DM-CV7-GNSS/INS, an ultra-compact, tactical-grade inertial navigation system designed for tight spaces.
This 15.6-gram powerhouse combines advanced inertial sensing with tightly coupled dual-frequency GNSS receivers to provide accurate and reliable navigation and localization even in environments where GNSS signals are weak, intermittent, or unavailable.
The 3DM-CV7-GNSS/INS delivers tactical-grade precision without sacrificing size, weight, or cost. Its Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter and full industrial temperature calibration ensure robust data quality in a variety of demanding real-world conditions. This makes it ideal for autonomous robotics, drones, and unmanned ground vehicles, where consistent navigation data is critical.
Justin Bessette, Engineering Manager at HBK, said, “With the 3DM-CV7-GNSS/INS, we’re bringing tactical-grade performance to applications where every gram and millimetre matter. Built for real-world situations, this embeddable sensor is a flexible, ready-to-integrate solution – making advanced navigation easier to deploy and more dependable across the board.”
Engineers benefit from seamless integration with popular open-source platforms such as PX4 and ROS, enabling faster development cycles and smoother incorporation into existing systems. The sensor supports low-latency data processing, accurate dead reckoning, and resilient operation under challenging conditions, redefining expectations for embeddable navigation technology.
According to HBK, the latest innovation reflects the company’s commitment to precision inertial sensing with proven calibration standards, strong GNSS integration, and extensive configurability.
