Inertial navigation solutions for loitering munitions

Loitering Munitions Systems (LMS) are advanced UAVs designed for precision strikes. They can loiter over a target area, gathering intelligence before executing a precise objective with a payload.

Inertial Navigation Systems insure that forces have the actionable intelligence and precision necessary for success in multiple domains. With extended range and endurance, LMS are ideal for targeting high-value or time-sensitive targets in military operations, providing modern armed forces with superior precision and operational flexibility.

Running autonomously whithout GNSS reliance

Our Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) use high accuracy, low noise IMUs to provide accurate position and orientation.
Using our advanced navigation algorithms, we are able to model the different errors of our IMUs using a position reference such as GNSS. This enables capacity to navigate in dead reckoning after losing GNSS during a mission.
Our INS are also compatible with a variety of aidings that can enhance the dead reckoning capabilities and accuracy.

Robust performance in harsh conditions

We provide a large range of solutions for loitering ammunitions.
From IMUs that can be used to develop Navigation algorithms or control solutions, to INS capable of providing robust navigation solutions which are dead reckoning capable with a variety of aidings.
We have designed each inertial system to operate effectively in various environmental conditions, including electronic countermeasures, severe weather, and high-speed maneuvers. This robustness ensures reliable performance in diverse operational scenarios.

What is the difference between loitering munition and UAV?

Loitering munitions and UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) serve different roles and have distinct features.

Loitering munitions are engineered for precision strikes, these systems loiter over targets to engage high-value assets with pinpoint accuracy. They are one-way vehicles, focused on high-value target elimination, with explosive warheads for final strikes. Each LMS are remote-controlled for precise strikes, often with limited control after deployment.

On the other hand, UAVs are versatile vehicles used for various missions, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and payload delivery, capable of intelligence gathering and real-time monitoring. They are reusable and equipped with diverse sensors and payloads for multiple missions. You can operate them in real-time with extensive control and data collection capabilities.

Does INS accept inputs from external aiding sensors?

Inertial Navigation Systems from our company accept inputs from external aiding sensors, such as air data sensors, magnetometers, Odometers, DVL and other.

This integration makes the INS highly versatile and reliable, especially in GNSS-denied environments.

These external sensors enhance the overall performance and accuracy of the INS by providing complementary data.
