Beside of iIPSC system family, with its open system architecture iMAR Navigation also provides so-called upgrade sets (UGS), which are used to upgrade existing platforms of various manufacturers with enhanced inertial stabilization, target tracking and control capability for line of site (LOS) stabilization of camera, antenna or weapon payloads on mobile platforms on ground, sea and air.

Contact our sales department for further information.

The iIPSC-TR is a full tracker range installation to build up or to expand existing tracker ranges for tracking moving targets in the air or in the sea. Each tracker cluster consists of up to 4 Tracker Slave Stations (e.g. of type iIPSC-GP40 or iIPSC-MSG; selection depends on payload and environmental conditions), where each tracker is equipped with a video tracker (iOET²), motion control (iSCU), joystick panel (iJP), data recording and uninterrupted power supply (UPS). Up to 4 Slave Stations are served by one Central Station, which performs the triangulation computation, based on all data receiving from the Slave Stations. The Central Station provides the obtained trajectory information back to the Slave Stations to allow best tracking performance even if the target is covered temporarily by any obstacle. The Central Station also reports to the Test Range Central Computer (TRCC). In an alternative topology, each Slave Station (SSLC) can report also directly to the TRCC.

Features:

• Control of up to 4 Azimuth / Elevation operated pedestals
• Each pedestal locally supported by Stabilization & Control Unit, video tracker, joystick control, nominal trajectory information, remote control capability, blind pointing capability   
• Off-shore trackers supported by high performance Inertial Navigation System (INS/GPS) for motion compensation for shipborne installations

The iIMU-FSAS is a very small size IMU con­sisting of 3 fiber optical gyros (FOG) in closed-loop technology of class 0.75 deg/hr and 3 servo-accelerometers of class 1 mg.

Features:

• < 0.75 deg/hr / 450 deg/s , 1 mg / 5g or 20 g ; 400 Hz
• higher MTBF than RLG sys­tems
• Interfaces: RS232, RS422 UART, RS422 HDLC, Odometer, GPS (internal or external) [depends on options]
• Stabilisation tasks
• INS/GPS navigation
• Surveying applications
• Guidance and Control
• used in many countries / applica­tions worldwide

The IMU is designed for rugge­dized ap­plications and is internally equipped with shock absorbers. As an option the unit also can be de­livered hard-mounted, i.e. without shock-ab­sorbers. The iIMU-FSAS can be oper­ated on a unregulated wide range input supply voltage and is protected against wrong polarity and moder­ate over-volt­age. The data output can be trig­gered and the data are sent via RS422 on an HDLC protocol or via RS232 / RS422 UART. As an option the system can be delivered with an additional integrated AHRS or navigation proc­essor and with odometer in­ter­face. All sig­nals are fed via an robust con­nector of type MIL-C-38999-III.

The iIMU-FSAS is manu­fac­tured in Ger­many and can be used in many commercial and defense applica­tions as a replace­ment for Litton’s LN-200 or Hon­eywell’s HG1700/1900 in surveying applications. Com­pared to HG1700 the iIMU-FSAS has more than 10 times higher MTBF.

GPS can be used in many applications as a po­sition or attitude reference system in industrial applications. Standard GPS receiver today pro­vide 15 m position accuracy but other output data like true heading or position accu­racy on the centi­meter or millimeter level are not avail­able or those systems were very expen­sive in the past.

Now, due to development and imple­mentation of advanced real-time algo­rithms on raw data ba­sis, iMAR provides the most accurate solution of providing true heading in real-time with an accu­racy of < 0.1 degree / meter for a eight-antenna-system (i.e. if the baseline of the outer an­tennas is 1 m, the performance is 0.1 deg in true head­ing).

Due to the advanced ionoshere error mod­ellation which is possible with a multi antenna system, the global position error is bounded to approx. 1.5 m or less (without reference sta­tion!). Together with a DGPS refer­ence station the position accuracy is in the centimeter to mil­limeter range (depends on L1 or L1/L2 receiver and calibrated multi antennas).

iSMARTpos-3D deliveres 10 Hz data (option 100 Hz). It can be combined with INS to obtain data with higher bandwidth and even there where the sky is temporarily covered.
