Low-noise IMU

NovAtel's SPAN (Synchronous Position, Attitude and Navigation) products tightly-couple precise GNSS technology with accurate inertial measurement technology to provide a robust, stable and continuous position, velocity and attitude solution.

The IMU-LCI is a tactical-grade IMU with fiber-optic gyros and micro-mechanical accelerometers. The low-noise and highly stable sensor characteristics of both the gyros and the accelerometers make this sensor an excellent choice for airborne and ground survey applications. IMU-LCI is compatible with the latest SPAN receiver products, including the SPAN-SE enclosed receiver system and the SPAN-MPPC receiver card-stack.

With IMU components manufactured in Europe, and final assembly occurring in Canada, this IMU is not subject to the US-ITAR. Its export requires Canadian export approvals only. First shipments of IMU-LCI IMUs will take place in June 2010.
