POLAR-500 - AHRS-IMU + Dual GNSS Compass
POLAR-500 is an excellent Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (AD-AHRS) for aerial systems. Take advantage of UAV Navigation's extensive experience in the UAV sector. It includes a Dual GNSS Compass and it is capable of providing precise attitude estimation and satellite pointing.
UAV Navigation is an industry leader known for designing cutting-edge inertial navigation systems and other navigation solutions for and commercial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Since 2004, UAV Navigation has sold over 2,000 systems and accumulated over 60,000 flight hours. One of its most innovative technologies is the POLAR-500, which is a compact AD-AHRS used for pointing and stabilization on Satcom on the Move (SOTM) terminals such as the Aviator UAV 200 or the HGA-600 antennas.
Designed to withstand the toughest conditions, POLAR-500 is a high-end MEMS-based Air Data Attitude Heading Reference System (AD-AHRS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). Additionally, it contains a dual GNSS compass for more accurate heading estimation.
POLAR-500 AD-AHRS has been tested in a wide variety of dynamic environments, which confirms its ability to deliver outstanding results. It is absolutely immune to individual sensor failures while maintaining an accurate position and attitude estimation. Its performance in GNSS denied environments is outstanding (<30 m/min).
POLAR-500 provides real-time fused sensor data through an RS-232 serial line. This information is critical for other on-board functions such as status sensor telemetry, gimbal stabilization, etc.
Additionally, POLAR-500 is partly compliant with ARINC Characteristic 781, being able to operate as an Antenna Pointing and Stabilization system, with an integrated Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU), meaning it can be used along with a satellite communication modem, providing azimuth and elevation angles through an ARINC 429 output to the antenna.
The POLAR-500 includes a POLAR-500 unit in alumnium box, 2xGNSS Antennas and connector.

VNS01 - Visual Navigation System
The Visual Navigation System (VNS01) provides accurate navigational information, ensuring mission success in situations where GNSS signals may be unavailable, unreliable, or compromised. VNS01 offers a critical solution for all kinds of operations, enhancing the capabilities of NATO Category I and II Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operating in GNSS-denied environments. This innovative system enables precise positioning and autonomy, improving UAS operations in challenging and hostile environments, ultimately increasing mission effectiveness and overall situational awareness for the operator.
The VNS01 features an onboard camera that captures images throughout the flight, enabling the creation of an internal map for use when GNSS is unavailable. This map aids in correcting accumulated navigational drift during dead reckoning. Utilising a combination of visual odometry (VO) and pattern recognition (PR) techniques, the VNS01 integrates with the other onboard sensors to provide the Flight Control Computer (FCC) with precise positioning data in the absence of GNSS signals.
DGC01 - Dual GNSS Compass
DGC01 (Dual GNSS Compass) allows you to accurately estimate the actual heading, under both static and dynamic conditions with no reliance placed on magnetic sensors.
DGC01 (Dual GNSS Compass) allows you to accurately estimate the actual course, under both static and dynamic conditions with no reliance placed on magnetic sensors.
It implements the GNSS interferometry technique which uses raw pseudo-range and carrier phase measurements from two separate inertial GNSS receivers with a known baseline.
The DGC01 is complementary to a magnetometer. It can be used to improve the heading estimation or as a backup system, when the magnetometer performance declines due to electromagnetic disturbances.
High Heading Accuracy: up to 0.3 degrees in both static and dynamic conditions.
High Latitudes Applications: the heading estimation is not dependant on the Earth's magnetic field.
Easy to integrate with VECTOR through asynchronous RS-232.
It can be used as a standalone device.
Robust and Compact Design.
IP66 Design: Ready to operate in extreme environments.
Alternative to magnetometer when compass calibration cannot be carried out.
It works also as GNSS redundant in VECTOR.
The DGC01 is supplied with the following accessories:
2 x ANN-MB-00-00. Multiband, high precision GNSS antennas.
Cables & Connectors: 1 x female cable connector, overmoulded. Binder P/N: 77-3406-000-50006-0200.
The MG01 is a self-contained magnetometer unit designed to provide precision 3D magnetic field readings in highly dynamic environments.
Sometimes other onboard systems (e.g. electric motors, cabling etc) can interfere with the readings obtained from the built-in magnetometers in UAV Navigation's autopilots and AHRS-INS modules. In these cases, the MG01 provides a remote installation which can be physically located in a safe place far from interference.
Thanks to UAV Navigation's advanced Attitude & Heading Reference System (AHRS) algorithms, the MG01 assists the autopilot or EFIS not only with accurate heading readings, but also by improving the attitude calculation in highly dynamic conditions.
Aside from numerous RPAS/UAV projects, MG01 was selected to equip all the aircraft competing in the 2014 edition of the Red Bull Air Races, and also various planes competing in the Reno Air Races.
