SBG Systems has expanded its inertial navigation portfolio with the launch of the Stellar-40 INS, a tactical-grade system engineered for resilience in demanding land, air, and marine applications.
The Stellar-40 integrates a tactical-grade IMU, a GNSS receiver, and advanced sensor fusion algorithms within a rugged, compact enclosure. It is specifically developed to provide reliable navigation performance in environments characterized by high vibration, high dynamics, and electronic interference.
To address the vibration sensitivity often found in defense and industrial sectors, the system utilizes a specialized three-level mitigation approach. This includes dampers integrated at the IMU sensor level to reduce vibrations at the source, a resonance-free enclosure designed to minimize internally induced vibrations, and custom external structural isolation.
In addition to mechanical robustness, the system is designed to counter modern electronic warfare challenges. It features a high-performance GNSS receiver capable of actively mitigating advanced jamming and spoofing threats. When GNSS signals are unavailable or degraded, the Stellar-40 utilizes multi-sensor fusion and dead-reckoning capabilities to maintain navigation continuity.
Positioned as a heavy-duty counterpart to the Ekinox Micro, the Stellar-40 features a revised mechanical and electronic design intended to simplify both the manufacturing process and platform integration. It is suited for use in robotics, UAVs, autonomous systems, and broader defense programs.
Stellar-40 was developed with scalability and integration flexibility as key priorities. The design aims to support a broad range of platforms while keeping large-scale production in mind. This product brings high-end resilience against vibrations, jamming, and spoofing into a box that teams can completely trust in real-world operations. The Stellar-40 is scheduled for worldwide commercial availability in June of this year.
SBG Systems is attending XPONENTIAL Europe, 24th-26th March, Booth F22, Hall 1.
