SBG Systems Releases Accurate MEMS Technology-Based Inertial Navigation System

SBG Systems releases the Apogee Series, the most accurate inertial navigation systems based on the robust and cost-effective MEMS technology. The cutting-edge Apogee Series is also the smallest and lightest inertial navigation system at this level of accuracy. High Accuracy, cost-effective, compact, the Apogee adds extreme versatility and simplicity to its many qualities.

Apogee, State-of-the-art Highly Accurate INS/GNSS
SBG SYSTEMS takes another step forward with the release of the Apogee Series, the most accurate line of inertial navigation systems based on the robust and cost-effective MEMS technology. This state-of-the-art INS/GNSS integrates the very last generation of MEMS sensors and Tri-frequency GNSS receiver. Apogee achieves 0.008° in roll and pitch in real-time, and 0.005° in post-processing. With two antennas, it delivers a robust and accurate heading. “SBG SYSTEMS manufactures inertial systems from the concept to the production. The Apogee benefits from our high level of expertise in integrated design, IMU calibration, testing, and filtering” declares Alexis Guinamard, CTO of SBG SYSTEMS.

Higher Accuracy with Post-processing
Orientation and position data can be recorded in the Apogee data logger. At the office, the user imports data in the post-processing software. This tool gives access to several RTK networks and reference station offline data (VRS, CORS, etc.). Additionally, it enhances orientation and position accuracy by a complete “backward/forward” calculation.

Extremely Versatile Product Line
Four models compose the Apogee line. The Apogee-A provides only orientation data. The Apogee-N additionally embeds a GNSS receiver; it is a compact solution with one antenna for land and aerial applications. The Apogee-D embeds a dual antenna GNSS receiver for accurate heading under low dynamics conditions. Completing the line, the Apogee-E delivers navigation data when connected to an external GNSS receiver or to the SplitBox with integrated GNSS.

Apogee Series Availability
The Apogee is ITAR Free. All models are available for order. Ordering information and delivery time are available from SBG Systems representatives and authorized SBG Systems dealers.
