Navsight Land-Air Motion & navigation for surveying applications
Navsight Land-Air is a full high performance inertial navigation solution designed to make surveyors’ mobile data collection easier, whether it is terrestrial or aerial. It is is an extremely versatile solution. It consists in an Inertial Measurement Unit available at three different performance levels, and connected to Navsight, a rugged equipment embedding the fusion intelligence, the GNSS receiver, and all connections to external equipment such as LiDAR, cameras, computer, etc.
Navsight solution is composed of various components that can be adjusted or configured according to your specific application needs. The IMU is the main sensing element and the most important performance driving factor. In case of good GNSS conditions and entry level land-air survey, the Ekinox IMU can be selected. In case of more challenging conditions, such as difficult GNSS environments or high altitude, the Apogee grade is the sensor of choice to maintain the best accuracy. For airborne survey with single antenna setup, or more generally, for ultimate accuracy, the Horizon IMU should be selected.

Navsight Land-Air applications
Surveying applications require precise data collection across diverse and challenging terrains, from dense urban areas to rugged, open landscapes and high altitudes. These environments often present GNSS signal obstructions and multipath issues due to structures like buildings, foliage, and mountains.
Additionally, airborne surveys demand navigation stability and data integrity at varying altitudes and in dynamic atmospheric conditions, which can impact accuracy.
SBG Systems’ Navsight Land-Air Solution addresses these complexities with a robust, adaptable platform suited for both land and aerial survey missions. Navsight combines high-performance inertial measurement with advanced GNSS technology and sensor fusion, delivering consistent accuracy, even when GNSS signals are interrupted. Its modular IMU options allow surveyors to select the ideal grade for their specific needs, ensuring optimal performance in various conditions. With Navsight Land-Air, surveyors achieve reliable, high-precision data collection, streamlining mapping, infrastructure planning, and geospatial data acquisition.

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.
What is the difference between IMU and INS?
The difference between an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) lies in their functionality and complexity.
An IMU (inertial measuring unit) provides raw data on the vehicle’s linear acceleration and angular velocity, measured by accelerometers and gyroscopes. It supplies information on roll, pitch, yaw, and motion, but does not compute position or navigation data. The IMU is specifically designed to relay essential data about movement and orientation for external processing to determine position or velocity.
On the other hand, an INS (inertial navigation system) combines IMU data with advanced algorithms to calculate a vehicle’s position, velocity, and orientation over time. It incorporates navigation algorithms like Kalman filtering for sensor fusion and integration. An INS supplies real-time navigation data, including position, velocity, and orientation, without relying on external positioning systems like GNSS.
This navigation system is typically utilized in applications that require comprehensive navigation solutions, particularly in GNSS-denied environments, such as military UAVs, ships, and submarines.
