Inertial navigation system (INS)

Thales INS with GPS is a robust hybridized localization solution embedding full in-house Thales PIXYZ gyrometers and electro-mechanical accelerometers technologies. Thales flexible product configuration allows for easy integration with various system interfaces.

Our INS products include:

• GPS C/A
• Glonass
• GPS SAASM

Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

IMU’s are based on Thales in-house tri-axis ring laser gyrometer technologies (PIXYZ), Electro-Mechanical and MEMS accelerometers providing outstanding resistance to vibrations and guaranteed operability in harsh environments.

• North seeking gyroscopes
• IMUs (Drift: 50°/h to 0,005°/h
• Rate sensor units (drift: 0,003°/h)
• Vertical Gyroscopes (3 to 5°/mn)

Military GPS receivers

Thales Military GPS receivers are built on a SAASM design approved by the United States GPS WING (DoD). Our products offer secure and accurate positioning in high dynamics military environments with an outstanding jamming resistance as requested by the Navigation Warfare Program (NAVWAR).

• Topstar 100-2
• Topstar 100-3
• 1000S SAASM board

Accelorometers

Thales accelerometers are based on three in-house technologies: Electro-Mechanical, MEMS Quartz, and MEMS Silicium. Thales accelerometers are harsh environment proven and are calibrated for increased performance.

• EMA 1000 (Biais: 50 to 180 µG)
• A100 (Biais: 400 to 600 µG)
