Phins

FOG-based high-performance
inertial navigation system
Phins is an inertial navigation system providing position, true
heading, attitude, speed, depth and heave. Its high-accuracy
inertial measurement unit is based on iXblue’s fiber-optic
gyroscope technology coupled with an embedded digital
signal processor that runs an advanced Kalman filter.

FEATURES APPLICATIONS

• All-in-one high-accuracy 3D positioning with heading, Highly demanding civil or defense surface vessels or
roll and pitch autonomous underwater vehicles
• FOG, unique strap-down technology
• Multiple aiding available:
(DVL, EM log, GPS, USBL, LBL and depth sensor)•
• Compact, light and reliable
• Ethernet, web server (GUI)

BENEFITS

• High grade INS performance


• High reliability and maintenance free
• Ease of use and quick installation
• Perfectly silent
• Small power consumption
• Low latency
• Small power consumption
