Ocean Science Technology (OST) is pleased to announce the addition of Xsens to our global supplier ecosystem. The company’s supplier profile highlights its advanced portfolio of inertial sensing solutions designed to provide highly accurate motion and positioning data for surface vessels, marine robotics, and subsea platforms.
Operating in dynamic ocean environments often presents significant challenges for navigation, stabilization, and positioning systems. Xsens’ inertial sensing modules combine high-frequency data output with advanced magnetic interference compensation to ensure reliable performance even near metallic structures or in unpredictable conditions. Their sensors provide integrated heave output for active compensation in vessel and platform stabilization, while delivering precise roll, pitch, and heading data for subsea vehicles and robotic systems. When integrated with DVL or USBL systems, the sensors enable robust navigation capabilities for underwater operations.
Key products from Xsens include:
- MTi 1-Series – Ultra-compact surface-mount inertial modules with integrated sensor fusion technology and a 12 × 12 mm footprint, ideal for space-constrained systems such as USVs, buoys, AUVs, and ROVs.
- MTi 600-Series – Industrial-grade inertial sensing solutions available in rugged or OEM form factors, offering functionality from IMU to RTK GNSS/INS for reliable navigation and control.
- Avior Series – High-performance inertial sensors with a robust aluminium housing and low SWaP-C design, delivering enhanced stability, advanced gyroscopes, and real-time heave output for marine robotics and bathymetric mapping.
- Sirius Series – Rugged IP68-rated inertial sensor modules designed for harsh marine environments, featuring strong resistance to water, dust, shock, vibration, and EMI while providing precision motion sensing and heave compensation.
Xsens’ sensing technologies are widely used across marine and subsea systems, supporting applications ranging from autonomous surface and underwater vehicles to navigation, stabilization, and precision mapping. Their solutions provide the accurate motion data required to ensure reliable operation in challenging ocean conditions.
