MNV-N3M
MEMS Integrated Inertial Navigation System

Product Overview

MNV-N3M is a lightweight and cost-effective solution for vehicle positioning and orientation. It can complete alignment autonomously and output accurate azimuth and horizontal attitude for ground carriers. Combined with external equipment such as odometers, this inertial navigation unit supports dead reckoning to sustain stable vehicle positioning when satellite signals are weak or interrupted.

It integrates Beidou satellite positioning and navigation information internally. By tightly fusing inertial navigation and satellite navigation, it accomplishes continuous carrier positioning and navigation, making it a dependable core unit for vehicle positioning tasks on mobile platforms. This compact MEMS inertial system is engineered for ground vehicles that require consistent heading and attitude output even in complex signal-shielded environments.

Core Advantages

This inertial navigation module delivers high-precision north-seeking up to 3mil, which lays a solid foundation for stable vehicle positioning. It adopts full-temperature calibration compensation from -45℃ to +80℃, maintaining consistent sensor performance under extreme outdoor environments. A reserved odometer input interface enables dead reckoning navigation to support long-duration vehicle positioning without satellite coverage. Compared with pure GNSS receivers, this fused navigation scheme greatly improves reliability for mobile ground platforms.
