CARRIÈRES-SUR-SEINE, France – SBG Systems in Carrières-sur-Seine, France, is introducing the Ekinox Micro miniature GNSS-aided inertial navigation system for mission-critical applications like unmanned surface vessels, antenna pointing, mobile mapping, and hydrography.

The Ekinox Micro combines a high-performance micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) inertial sensor with a quad-constellation dual-band global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellite navigation receiver.

The rugged navigation and guidance system meets MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-1275E, and MIL-STD-810H military standards for high-reliability electronics. The sensor is ITAR-free, and is not restricted to export.

Key features include low size, weight, power consumption, and cost (SWaP-C); performance in harsh environments; jamming and spoofing mitigation and detection; dead reckoning; built-in data logger and Ethernet connectivity; integration tools such as REST API, binary, and ASCII protocols; pre-configured motion profiles for land, air, and sea; single-antenna heading; and dual-antenna heading for low dynamics applications.

Other features include 0.015 degrees of roll and pitch accuracy; heading accuracy of 0.05 degrees; 1 centimeter and plus-or-minus 2 parts-per-million horizontal accuracy; a built-in data logger; and Ethernet, serial, and CAN networking interfaces.
