Precision Navigation for GNSS-Denied Environments
Bestech Australia supplies advanced Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) designed to deliver accurate orientation, position, and velocity data, even in environments where GPS or GNSS signals are limited or unavailable. Our systems are ideal for applications across marine, aerospace, defence, robotics, and autonomous platforms.
What Is an Inertial Navigation System?
An inertial navigation system forms part of an inertial guidance setup and continuously measures an object’s position, orientation, and velocity relative to a known starting point. It operates independently of external references by combining gyroscopes and accelerometers to track movement in three dimensions.
Typical system configurations include:
- Vertical Gyros (VG)
- Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS)
- GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INS/GPS)
- Weapon Orientation Modules (WOM)
- Miniature orientation sensors (OS3D)
- Camera-less wireless 3D suits for motion tracking
These sensors provide real-time data for mobile robots, ships, aircraft, submarines, guided missiles, and spacecraft, wherever precise movement and orientation data are essential.
How It Works
A standard inertial measurement system integrates:
- Three orthogonal rate gyroscopes to measure angular velocity
- Three orthogonal accelerometers to detect linear acceleration
By processing these measurements, the INS calculates the current orientation, position, and velocity of the platform. The gyroscopes determine angular rotation relative to an inertial reference frame, while accelerometers measure directional acceleration. Through advanced algorithms and sensor fusion, the system integrates these readings to produce a continuous navigation solution.
