SBG Systems has expanded its inertial navigation portfolio with the introduction of the Stellar-40, a modular and tactical-grade system engineered for high-vibration and electronically challenging environments.
The INS integrates a tactical-grade IMU, a GNSS receiver, and advanced sensor fusion algorithms within a compact, rugged enclosure designed for land, air, and marine platforms. Developed with a dual focus on operational resilience and production scalability, the Stellar-40 serves as a heavy-duty counterpart to the Ekinox Micro.
To address the vibration sensitivity often found in defense and industrial applications, the Stellar-40 employs a three-level mitigation architecture. This includes dampers integrated directly at the IMU sensor level, a specialized housing engineered to minimize resonance, and custom external structural dampers designed to isolate the unit from harsh vehicle dynamics.
Beyond mechanical robustness, the system is designed to navigate modern electronic warfare challenges. It features a high-performance GNSS receiver capable of actively mitigating jamming and spoofing threats. In instances where GNSS signals are unavailable or degraded, the Stellar-40 utilizes multi-sensor fusion and dead-reckoning to maintain navigation continuity.
Kaoutar, Product Manager at SBG Systems, said, “Stellar-40 was developed with scalability and integration flexibility as key priorities. The design aims to support a broad range of platforms while keeping large-scale production in mind. This product brings high-end resilience against vibrations, jamming, and spoofing into a box that teams can completely trust in real-world operations.”
The modular design is intended to simplify integration for defense programs, robotics, UAVs, and autonomous systems. This launch continues SBG Systems’ expansion of professional and industrial inertial navigation solutions. The Stellar-40 is scheduled for worldwide commercial availability in June of this year.
SBG Systems is attending XPONENTIAL Europe, 24th-26th March, Booth F22, Hall 1.
