The company is showcasing its product portfolio on OST, including Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG), quartz, and MEMS-based Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) designed for surface and subsea platforms. Each unit provides reliable real-time data for navigation, heave compensation, and motion monitoring across a variety of offshore and subsea applications.
M5000 Subsea FOG & Quartz INS
The M5000 is a high-performance inertial navigation system combining FOG and quartz technologies. It integrates a built-in multi-frequency GNSS receiver and supports external Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) input, enabling precise navigation, position, and attitude control for crewed and uncrewed subsea vehicles.
Available in three performance variants, the system delivers accurate real-time outputs for attitude, heave, heading, position, and velocity. Its titanium pressure-resistant housing ensures reliable operation in demanding subsea conditions.
M4000 Survey-Grade FOG INS & MRU
The M4000 is a cost-effective, survey-grade FOG-based inertial navigation and Motion Reference Unit (MRU). Designed for flexible integration into both surface and subsea vessels, it can operate as a GNSS-aided system or in standalone mode, outputting precise attitude, heave, position, and velocity data.
With compatibility for external DVLs and availability in multiple performance variants, the M4000 provides dependable motion and navigation data for survey and marine operations.
M2300 MEMS-Based INS & MRU
The M2300 is a compact and cost-effective MEMS-based inertial sensing system designed for small and medium vessels as well as offshore platforms. Available as a GNSS-aided INS or MRU, it provides reliable attitude and navigation control in dynamic sea conditions.
Its lightweight, easily installable design and multiple performance options make it ideal for a range of vessel and equipment applications requiring precision and durability.
M1000 FOG-Based Compass
The M1000 is an advanced FOG-based compass that measures vessel angular motion to deliver precise heading, pitch, and roll data. It is designed for both crewed and uncrewed vessels, ensuring accurate control and stability.
With a maintenance-free design and long service life, the M1000 eliminates the need for regular gyro replacements, providing a dependable and cost-effective navigation solution.
