Our Products

M5000

Subsea FOG & quartz INS with integrated GNSS receiver & optional DVL

The M5000 is a powerful FOG and quartz-based inertial navigation system that provides robust navigation, position and attitude control capabilities for subsea platforms such as crewed and uncrewed underwater vehicles. Featuring a built-in multi-frequency GNSS receiver, it can be integrated with an external Doppler Velocity Log and outputs a range of critical precision real-time data such as attitude, heave, heading, position, and velocity.

Available in three different performance variants, the rugged INS is housed in a titanium pressure-resistant and watertight housing.

M4000

Survey-grade FOG INS & MRU with integrated GNSS receiver & optional DVL

The M4000 is a cost-effective survey-grade FOG-based inertial navigation system that is designed for easy integration into a wide range of surface and subsea vessels and equipment. It can be configured for operation as a GNSS-aided unit, or in undamped mode for output of attitude, heave, position and velocity data.

The high-precision sensor can be integrated with an external Doppler Velocity Log, and is available in three different performance variants.
